Congratulations on 25!cS remains one of the few places on the internet I visit almost every day (that I'm around a computer at least). The community stands as a testament to your hard work and dedication, thank you Robert. Also, cheers to all those that have participated in the shared goals of this site since its inception, I am a better and happier person because of the generosity and free flow of information. |

I agree with the above comment.I am certain that most of us would be utterly amazed at the actual amount of work you must put into collectSPACE Robert. It has kept me informed and entertained in ways I could not have possibly imagined when I joined. 'Tis been a great ride so far and, hopefully, it is not even close to being over. As they say in Kansas and in Starfleet, Ad Astra Per Aspera. |

Congratulations Robert. I’ve been on a journey with your website for the last 23 of those 25 years, which has introduced me to some new friends and a few book projects along the way. Many thanks! |

Put quite simply, if collectSPACE did not exist, the Outward Odyssey seies of books (now sitting at 22 volumes) would likewise never have happened. Significantly, this forum helped spawn the UNP series, and that alone lends a whole new dimension to the effect collectSPACE has had on the entire space community. I stand as one of those who - every day - applauds the tireless efforts of Robert over that extraordinary quarter-century of news, information and creating a magnificent, authoritative forum to which we have all subscribed and appreciated for many years. It is an indispensible daily source that we should all be thankful for through his continuing efforts. Forever grateful, Robert. Ad Astra! |

The support from Robert and this space community has played a key part of the growth in the Kollection and our knowledge of past present and future space programs. Thanks so much Robert! |

Everyone, you are all too kind. I may be the behind-the-scenes guy here on collectSPACE, but it is all of you who have made the site what it is over the past 25 years! My thanks to you all. quote: Originally posted by astrobock: I don't know how much it helps...

Perhaps, but without your passion, vision and hard work for this site, it wouldn't exist. Kudos, and congratulations on a quarter century! Not an easy achievement by any means! |

Wow, many congratulations Robert on creating (and maintaining) such an enduring website. In the over two decades since I came here it has been the only site to survive countless cleanups of my favourites folder 😁. Many thanks for your hard work, you should be proud of the helpful friendly community you have enabled to exist here. |

I enthusiastically echo Colin's tribute. "A Long Voyage to the Moon" would never have existed without the connections generated by this collectSpace community. Thank you, Robert. |

Reading thru the message forums is the very last thing I do every night before going to bed. A great way to finish the day is reading the fantastic contributions made to the rest of us on space topics. |
