As you read this, your space program is in danger of becoming extinct. Congress is once again attempting to eliminate space station funding. Cancellation of the space station could mean the phase-out of space exploration and eventual termination of aerospace industries and job opportunities. The resulting impact on the nation's economy, technology and educational system would be disastrous. You can tell your congressmen exactly how much you support the space station and the manned space initiative by signing the Student Space Action's Interactive Online Petition. Simply follow these steps: telnet seds.lpl.arizona.edu login> space Now answer the questions to the best of your ability (read the directions accompanying the petition-- use to enter answer; to toggle yes/no; up/down arrows to go backwards and forwards through questions. Caution: if floating characters appear on your screen--ignore--it's probably just an emulation problem. Your petition will still be signed. After you submit the petition, you will receive information on your congressmen and senators so you can contact them further by phone or mail if you desire. The petition is also accessible by NCSA Mosaic. Simply go to the following URL and follow the directions: URL: http://seds.lpl.arizona.edu/ssa/petition.html Answer the questions and submit the petition and you will receive the same information as the telnet version. You will also have the option of linking to the space station home page where you can read up-to-date information on the space station, including issues of "Space Station This Week." Please forward this message to anyone you may feel would want to be a part of this effort--everyone! If you believe the space program is a vital part of our country's future, both in economic growth and technological advancement, then sign the Student Space Action's Interactive Petition. If you believe that NASA should remain as an engine for continued manned space exploration, then tell everyone you know to sign this petition. If you believe that our government, by supporting an initiative like the space station, is making an investment in the future generation of this great nation, then send your message to Washington by signing the Student Space Action Interactive Petition. SPACE STATION: IT'S ABOUT LIFE ON EARTH!! Your voice does count! And it WILL make a difference!
