Aero-Linx!
Scouring the information super airways can sometimes be a tough,
if educational, task for the Aero-News staff... but it also allows
us to check out some truly neat and exciting sites, so it's not
that bad a gig. On any given day, we may check dozens (and often
hundreds) of different sources for story ideas, and facts
confirmation. And, as is the nature of our business, much of this
is done on the Internet.
The ANN gang decided we probably shouldn't keep some of the neat
sites, info resources, and organizations we've discovered to
ourselves... so we decided to bring you Aero-Linx. These are the
sites that WE check out -- when we need added perspective, a new
spin on a day's topic... or just want to escape into
cyber-aero-space for awhile.
Look for some of our favorite sites, coming each day to ANN via
Aero-Linx. Suggestions for future Aero-Linx segments
are always welcome, as well.
Aero-Linx: Lockheed Martin Space Day
Since its launch in 1997, the Space Day educational initiative,
which takes place on the first Friday of each May, has evolved into
a massive grassroots effort dedicated to the extraordinary
achievements, benefits and opportunities in the exploration and use
of space. The ultimate goal is to promote math, science, technology
and engineering education by nurturing young peoples' enthusiasm
for the wonders of the universe and inspiring them to continue the
stellar work of today's space explorers. International in scope,
the award-winning program involves hundreds of thousands of
teachers and millions of students throughout the United States,
Canada and beyond. Space Day events have taken place in 21
countries around the globe on six continents. Thanks to widespread
media, millions of people have learned about the Space Day programs
since its inception. So effective is this global initiative that it
has been honored with the Space Foundation's prestigious Education
Achievement Award.
