- Host this week: Usenet's favorite ukulele-playing physicist,
- W. Skeffington Higgins!]

- "Thankyouthankyouthankyou. It's great to be here. Say, do you know
- how many elephants can fit in a Soyuz? Three! But they have to be
- REALLY GOOD FRIENDS! And now, on with the Weekly Reminders!"
-
- This notice will be posted weekly in sci.space, sci.astro, and
- sci.space.shuttle.
-
- The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) list for sci.space and sci.astro is
- posted approximately monthly. It also covers many questions that come up on
- sci.space.shuttle (for shuttle launch dates, see below).
-
- The FAQ is posted with a long expiration date, so a copy may be in your
- news spool directory (look at old articles in sci.space). If not, here are
- two ways to get a copy without waiting for the next posting:
-
- (1) If your machine is on the Internet, it can be obtained by anonymous
- FTP from the SPACE archive at ames.arc.nasa.gov (128.102.18.3) in directory
- pub/SPACE/FAQ.
-
- (2) Otherwise, send email to 'archive-server@ames.arc.nasa.gov'
- containing the single line:
-
- help
-
- The archive server will return directions on how to use it. To get an
- index of files in the FAQ directory, send email containing the lines:
-
- send space FAQ/Index
- send space FAQ/faq1
-
- Use these files as a guide to which other files to retrieve to answer
- your questions.
-
- Shuttle launch dates are posted by Ken Hollis periodically in
- sci.space.shuttle. A copy of his manifest is now available in the Ames
- archive in pub/SPACE/FAQ/manifest and may be requested from the email
- archive-server with 'send space FAQ/manifest'. Please get this document
- instead of posting requests for information on launches and landings.
-
- Do not post followups to this article; respond to the author.

- "Thanks, ya been a great audience!"
