Happy 17th to my favorite internet site, collectSPACE.I enjoy my daily education reflecting on the postings of other cS members. collectSPACE had led me to meeting and hearing many astronauts but most of all, I enjoy the wonderful friendships I have made with other collectSPACE members. Thank you Robert for being the facilitator of it all. You are appreciated. |

I too wish to add my congratulations Robert of seventeen years of a fantastic site. Every day several times I log on and enjoy the information from the different characters who post on here. Just wish I had known about collectSPACE seventeen years ago and I would probably have met even more astronauts, cosmonauts, space workers and cS members but still very happy, thanks to you, of the ones that I have met.Wishing you many more years online. |

Thanks again guys! But the congratulations are to be shared with each and every one of you, too, as this site is as much a product of the community as it is my own efforts. So congrats! quote: Originally posted by Mike Dixon: Wonder who the first members were?
Among the first to join the site (and it wasn't until November 1999 did the registrations start) were the late Leon Ford, Russ Still, Scott Schneeweis, Dan Mangieri, Dan Lorraine, Yves Dejardin, the late Richard Jackson, Howard Weinberger, Ian Hepworth, Ray Cartier, Joel Katzowitz, Ricky Thompson, Roger Guillemette, Dennis Beatty, Doug Henry, Bob McLeod, Randy Bond, Rob Sumowski, Tom Gwilym and Ian Whalley. |

This is my favorite website, hands down. I check it before hopping in the shower in the morning, right before I go to bed, and several times in between. Thank you, Robert, for all your efforts. |

I echo everyone's sentiments and commend Robert for creating this valuable site! Not only does the site contribute to a living history of mankind's achievements in space it's also a means of securing and passing on treasure artifacts from the various space programs.That said, I've met several fellow cS'ers that are in my backyard and developed great friendships. Congrats! |

Congrats! I've checked this site religiously on a daily basis for the past three-ish years and regret that I haven't been doing so for much longer! I've met many cS'rs at different events in the UK and Ireland and as of the recent Spacefest, the US. Some of the friends I've made I hope to say will be lifelong and about 95% of the astronauts and physicists I've met have been due to my membership here. Not exaggerating when I say LIFE CHANGING!All the best and here's to many more! |

Thanks Robert. One of the best websites ever! I thought it was older than 17 years. I have lived in the US 15 years, but used to view it often when I lived in London. Long may it continue. |
