10 Ways YOU Can Support Space and

your space program!)

like XM Radio, LEGO Mars Rover Kits, or Aerogels.

network by joining SpaceAlumni.com and encouraging
others to to the same

international 'space' language)

they wouldn't be doing otherwise. Challenge space
friends to take risks and do new things. Schedule

PRIZE Foundation or other space outreach effort.

the website, build constituency, build sponsor support,

projects

is already a member of the Space Generation.]
