This note is being sent to all new people on the SPACE mailing list.  It
is being distributed through SAIL once a day in digest format.  Mail to
SPACE@MIT-MC will collect in a file at SAIL and be sent out at about 4:00
AM PST.  There is also an immediate distribution sublist.  This list gets
submissions to the daily digest sent out as they are recieved at SAIL.
This list provides more interaction but at the cost of more junk mail
which I can usually filter out of the digest.  Let me know if you want to
be on this sublist instead of the daily digest list.

The topics covered by this digest include almost anything related to
space:  its exploration, development and uses.  The list seems to have
developed more into an information forum than into the discussion type of
list like Human-Nets is.  This is not enforced by any means, however, so
feel free to bring up topics for discussion.  One of the most common
submissions to this list are news stories picked up from the AP and NYT
news wires that relate to space activities.  In the past, these have
included stories about the Space Shuttle, Voyager, Soviet Space
activities, and the like.

Since this list uses the facilities of the ARPANET the usual rules about
Network and Large-List usage apply.  If you have any questions about
correct usage and/or etiquette let me know.  If you have a submission
which is questionable send it to SPACE-REQUEST@MC (see below) instead of
SPACE@MC and I will check it before forwarding it to the full
distribution.

A log of mail sent to this list is being kept in the file
SPACE.LOG[SPA,OTA] at SAIL.  You can type or FTP this file with out an
account.

Any comments, complains, or requests pertaining to this list should be
directed to me (OTA@SAIL) or to SPACE-REQUEST@MC, not to the main
distribution address.

On the average the volume of mail to this list is not high.  Many days
there are no submissions at all.  Normally this mailing list is fully
automatic, this has a variety of implications but mainly it implies two
things: use SPACE-REQUEST@MC when appropriate and be sure to include a
subject field on submissions so that the digest summary will be correct.
