Cohetes and Euroversities

Posted at 05:28 on Friday 6 July 2007

I think I've finally settled on the core formation of the Space Information Archive part of SEDSWiki:

• Education Directory
• Scholarships
• Organizations
• Projects
• Places to Go
• Events
• News

That should be all of the movement and rearrangement for now. It more or less fits my mental image of a directory of things to do -- a very vague thing, but a focus on the functional things -- for the space-interested crowd.

Today's big update to the Education Directory: European universities added in Germany, Switzerland, and France. (Thank you, Cedric)

The most interesting thing I found today comes from a group in Argentina called Asociación de Cohetería Experimental y Modelista Argentina. They host an annual event called Cohetes de América, a three week event -- 1 October to 22 October -- for rocketeers all over America to launch their rockets and share their pictures and notes from their individual events. With all due respect to astronomers, this is much much cooler than a Messier marathon or international sidewalk astronomy event, simply due to the large amounts of smoke and fire. So, Cohetes de América 2007 has been added to the International section of the Events directory for October 2007. Buenos suerte, coheteros.
