I'm surprised that there is not more media coverage of the 5th anniversary of collectSPACE. I thought "5" was on the list.

Congratulations, Robert. Thanks for everything!

Congratulations, Robert, and kudos!
You've done a great service for the space collecting world. As someone who has only recently taken up the hobby, cS has been an invaluable resource as I've tried to get my feet wet. Thanks to cS, I've been able to see half of the Moon walkers in person in less than a year, obtained books signed by several astronauts, avoided paying an embarrasing amount of money for a fake Armstrong, just to name a few. What a great resource!
And just as important, and probably more so, is the cS community you've helped build. While you point out that the readers are an important part of that, it wouldn't have happened without your excellent moderation. You do a great job overseeing the boards--your contributions to the discussion are always well-informed, rationale and fair, are they and your rare interventions ensure that the cS boards are a pleasant place to chat with peers. I'm always interested in what you have to say in your posts.
I really believe you've done a great service not only for space collectors, but also for the spaceflight community in general, by bringing together those who are passionate about exploration, and creating a place for their positive interaction.
Thanks for all you have done, congratulations, and I look forward to what the future of cS holds.

Happy 5th anniversary Robert, may Collectspace continue to grow.
Thankyou for ALL the C/s members over the last two years that has helped me in collecting and also helped rekindle my boyhood passion of space.
Through this site as well as collecting I like to think I've made some friends from all corners of this good Earth, all with the help of Robert's COLLECTSPACE site.

Many thanks Robert Pearlman

Congratulations to your 5th Anniversary (which is a noteworthy anniversary, as by media definition ;-) ) and all the best for the next 50 years. There are some good lists (including my own), but still Collectspace is the place to be.

Keep going with the good work!

Jürgen

Robert,

Congrats and thank you. Thank you for five years of therapy. Thank you for giving us a place to get this stuff out of our systems, and to share meaningful conversations on the hobby, that is of so much interest to everyone here, but of so little interest to my family, friends and co-workers. People who think I am a couple Tacos short of combination plate for having this hobby!

(With the exception of my wife, who thinks Mr. and Mrs. Lovell and Gene Cernan are all wonderful people!)

------------------
Warm Regards

Douglas Henry

Enjoy yourself and have fun.... it is only a hobby!
