I was also thinking about the idea of suggesting a seds news group (ie. 
sci.seds). I would like to see one group for discussion of the near future of 
exploration and development of space, with input from all areas. This could 
possibly save band width from people always cross-posting such things between 
sci.space, sci.astro, and sci.space.shuttle. To have to go through the same 
messages two or three times is rather a bother. Let sci.astro talk about 
astronomy, let sci.space talk about space (and yes, I realize that there is no 
set devission between the two), and sci.space.shuttle talk about shuttle 
related topics. Discussion about such things as space station Fred, a moon 
base, space agriculture and medicine could be posted to sci.seds, instead of 
cross posted amongst a few different groups. (Assuming people resist the urge 
to cross-post). Infact, I'm willing to bet that those who read sci.astro and 
sci.space.shuttle (and a few other groups) will also read this in sci.space, 
and thus I don't need to cross post.

Anyone else interested in a group for discussion on the area of exploration and
development of space?
