This is not a NASA Website. You might learn something. It's YOUR space agency. Get involved. Take it back. Make it work—for YOU.
Keith’s note: Next week a SpaceX Falcon Heavy with be launched. On board will be the Celestis Heritage payload. Inside will be some ashes of my long time friend and collaborator Frank Sietzen. It would seem that Frank is about to become the first American journalist in space. Frank was also the first SpaceX employee in Washington DC.
Ad Astra Frank.

NASA Watch: Your support is needed, support independent journalism.
Thank you for whatever support you can provide. We recently launched this upgraded website which will allow us to expand our coverage. But the design and hosting come at cost, as does adding new services. We're also going looking to add new journalists as we expand.
We'll send a verification code to %EMAIL%.
A voice deeply missed.
Ad Astra, indeed.
At least one other journalist was first, Keith.

Sorry for your loss, but no need to trample on the legacy of others.
No offense intended, but wasn’t Akiyama Toyohiro the first journalist in space (on Mir back in 1990)?
Edit: Sorry, you wrote “American journalist”. I don’t know how I missed that.
Ad Astra Frank – you are missed.
