Top Ten Space Related Sites


Space exploration has been in the news quite a bit lately, so I thought I would share my Top 10 List of Space Resources so you can keep up with the latest happenings and discoveries.
NASA (
nasa.gov) - This is the mother load of all space exploration sites. Constantly updated with the latest photos and videos. This Web site is a must visit if you have any interest in space exploration. Additional topics includes the Shuttle & Space Station, the Moon and Mars, the SOlar System, the Universe, Aeronautics, the Earth, Technology, NASA in Your Life, NASA People and NASA History.
Space.com (
space.com) - Another visually exciting website, Space.com offers multimedia, discussion boards, favorite topics, and space related merchandise for sale.
The Space Store (
thespacestore.com) - If you have a big or little kid in your home who loves Space, then this is the place to do your holiday shopping. The Space Store offers a wide variety of space related toys and merchandise for sale, including mission patches, decals, and polo shirts.
X Prize Foundation (
xprize.org) - No longer focused only on space flight, the X Prize Foundation’s motto is “Revolution Through Competition.” While commercial space flight is still a major focus, green technology and healthcare are also being rewarded with cash prizes for innovation.
National Space Society (
nss.org) - This is a blog formatted news service covering space and astronomy related news. The National Space Society is a global network of volunteers and local chapters and is the publisher of Ad Astra Magazine.
Space Day (
spaceday.com)- This site is geared towards education, with lesson plans, event organizers, and educational contests.
The Space Telescope Science Institute (
stsci.edu/resources) - This is another educational Web site, but it’s targeted more towards college and high school students. It includes recordings of past symposiums and lectures, as well as scientific software and library publications.
Space Camp (
spacecamp.com) - Home of the U.S. Space and Rocket Center where kids and adults can experience the history of space exploration through exhibitions, films, workshops, and special events.
Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (
seds.org) - This is a group “dedicated to expanding the role of human exploration and development of space. We seek to educate the public in such a way as to attain this goal. We have many ways of doing this, including educational outreach, converences, and chapter projects.”
The Ultimate Space Place (
thespaceplace.com) - The site includes space history, education, space collectibles, astronaut autographs, space memorabilia and other items of educational interest.
