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: Team America Rocketry Challenge
TARC is about inspiring the next generation of young people to
choose a career in aerospace. The generation that won the Space
Race is retiring from America's aerospace industry, creating lots
of great jobs on exciting programs. TARC is a steppingstone to the
stars. Team America Rocketry Challenge 2008 is sponsored by
the Aerospace Industries Association and the National Association
of Rocketry, with co-sponsorship by the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration, the Defense Department, the American
Association of Physics Teachers, and 34 AIA member companies. The
event was originally created to celebrate the 100th anniversary of
flight, but AIA decided to hold it again after receiving hundreds
of requests from students, teachers and parents. 2008 marks the
sixth year of the Team America Rocketry Challenge. A pool of over
$60,000 in scholarships and prizes is shared by the top 10 placing
teams. Raytheon, an AIA member company, is also sponsoring
additional prizes such as a trip to an international air show for
the winning team.
