Randy Cassingham's Bonzer Web Sites of the Week: Recognizing Interesting Sites that are Beyond the Microsoft/AOL-Time Warner/Media Megalith

HobbySpace

Not a space with info about hobbies, but rather a collection of hobbies that have to do with space: space art, model rocketry, collecting space memorabilia, space-based amateur (ham) radio, how to observe satellites, space tourism, and more. The site was created for "the general public who are interested in space but don't actively pursue that interest. I believe this is because they are simply unaware that fun and captivating space-related activities exist for regular folk and not just for rocket scientists."
