Veteran Space Reporter Craig Covault Joins Growing SpaceRef Team, SpaceRef
“SpaceRef is pleased to announce that award winning veteran reporter Craig Covault has agreed to join the growing SpaceRef team. Craig will be a Contributing Editor for SpaceRef’s Space Quarterly magazine and a Senior Editor for SpaceRef’s network of web sites.”
Marc’s note: I’m happy to make this announcement, Craig will be a great addition to our team.
Great news, Keith. I’ve been following Craig’s reporting since the (not to be) Skylab reboost days. I will be especially interested to his perspectives on SLS.
Yes, good news!
If you see this comment Craig – it’s about time you wrote a
book on the history you’ve experienced. Your writing is the best in the
business while the relationships and trust you built are priceless.
The notes and photos you must have stashed away are a
national treasure.
I got the money if you got the time. Thanks
buddy.
Keith, Marc,
A respectable addition to the team. Also, a lot of us know from experience that when a company or project is your own personal baby that you’ve nurtured from birth, it can be very difficult to let go of personally being in the middle of every aspect of it and handing things off to other people, especially when it’s someone with a respectable reputation and mind of his/her own. I respect your wisdom in delegating wisely, instead of killing yourselves with overwork.

Marc some thoughts for you writers and thinkers at space REF
Mr. Whitfield
I need your help.
A few minutes ago I heard Elon Musk interviewed on, television on CBS this morning by Charlie Rose.
I have no way to re-watch the video clip here and I don’t recall Charlie’s questions. But in general Elon was asked why, do you want to go to Mars.
Steve
If you would, please re-watch the interview and tell me given the time restraints what Elon should have said to each of Charlie’s questions.
I do not feel Elon made a good case.
HE HAD THE FLOOR the bully pulpit !!!
yet not a compelling clear short message.
His natural stutter didn’t help.
Keith
To me, the message why, then how we should go to space is a large part of what NASA Watch is all about.
What is
THE CASE FOR SPACE message?
And how can it be best communicated to the world?
Lolol how many characters is a twitter message again?? 140 ??
Mr. C
What if I gave you a homework assignment and asked you to write a short article about three pages to convince me JOE Q that we must develop Space. Could you do it??? Could you write and argument so SIMPLE, so clear, so compelling that it would reach other simple minds like mine?
Tinker
While reading The Survival Imperative the pages about Gerard K. O’Neill’s islands in the sky made me think of you. I challenge you to answer the same question. Convince me/us!!!
I have been hanging around NASA watch a couple of years playing my nature role of Joe Q Public, asking my dumb questions, hoping to help some of you find a way to formulate that compelling message and tell me/us what we can do to make it happen.
In William E. Burrows book the survival Imperative using space to protect earth,
is written a line that asks if man is even capable of taking steps today, to protect him/herself in the future.
Watching all the noise on the news, all the foolishness, wars, religious fights, a candidate saying he is not interested in saving the planet, I just want to scream!!!
I know how important space development is to us/Human kind, but not sure how to say it.
HELP!!!!!
Lolol
Again the 4 th grader raised his hand and said teacher
WHAT CAN WE DO??
They saved an earth Species!!!!!
Lolol
Maybe I’m that 4 th grader
PS
Burrows library book was like new, I may be the first one to have turned its pages.
The Earthling
Good news!
