Welcome to the Astronauts' Log Book!  We've been waiting for you.  Below you will find some of the emails that have been sent to us about our website.  We think it's a great way for kids to learn from each other, and we hope you do too!  If you would like to send us a message and maybe be entered in our Astronauts' Log Book, visit our Contact Us page...

News from Mission Control: On May 5, the sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn will be near each other in the sky. This will not occur again until March 20, 2675! Unfortunately, the sun will not allow amateur astronomers to see this rare view safely, but it can be seen in the western sky about 45 minutes after sunset in early April. Find the moon, then look for Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury, and Venus moving right and down toward the horizon. Enjoy the view...

A question from one of our visitors: Will the International Space Station have simulated gravity, so that the astronauts will not be in a weightless environment? An excellent question! The ISS will not have simulated gravity because one of its main purposes is to study living without gravity.

We've receive A LOT of emails from our visitors. Mission control has asked us to add some of our favorites. Keep the emails coming:

I think that you website is awesome and it is very well made. I also think you have a very great chance at winning, or making it to final. I wish you and everybody in 5th grade at your school, good luck at the contest.

Sue from Dearborn: There was so much information in your website. It will be very useful to others. Excellent job! Good luck!

Marcel: I was very impressed with the quality of the website. It is very captivating to the reader as well as extremely informative and I especially like the attention to detail surrounding the layout. Overall it is a great a website. My compliments to the website team for a job well-done and good luck in the contest.

Derek from Waterford: I just wanted to say that the website looks great and you should all be proud of yourselves. It demonstrates that with a little hard work and dedication your goals can be achieved. I noticed that your comment on the "contact us' page says the text box only works with Explorer, however, I am utilizing Netscape and it is working. One thing I do not like about text boxes is that no matter how much you write it keeps on scrolling write unless you hit enter. Good luck and keep up the great work.

Kari: I have sent your web address to others in my department. I have received only positive feedback. Everyone is quite impressed with the quality level of the reports. No one has gotten the quiz right, yet.

Rachel: I thought your website was one of the best. My favorite link was "Probes and Satellites." You all did fantastic work on it! I think that your website is awesome and it is very well made. I also think you have a very good chance at winning or making it to the finals. I wish you and everybody in fifth grade at your school. Good luck at the contest.
