I offhanded mentioned last week the idea of getting funding for an expedition to an archive I know to have a goldmine of NERVA/SPS and especially early Shuttle documentation. If I could find at least ten people willing to promise to part with $100 each (to fund airline tickets, motel/car/food/cat boarding/etc.) in exchange for a complete set of DVD’s of all copies and scans (barring any ITAR stuff for non-USAians, of course), then I’d get to work on actually setting up such a trip.
I got a few responses to that via commenting and email… four people chimed in (G.A., J.R., M.C., J.N.). Anyone else interested? Ten’s the minimum (or at least, the financial equivalent of ten… if someone wants to kick in $10,000, that would be just fine).
UPDATE: I just checked… the archive remains, and remains accessible. Yay!
UPDATE 2: I have booked the trip! Last week of March. Yow… pricey. I kinda underestimated the cost of it all. Oh, well… Anyway, if you’re interested, now’s the time to get on board!
