This web site on space
exploration was created as my (Robert B. Lobbia’s) Eagle Service Project.
As a Boy Scout striving towards the highest rank of Eagle Scout, I commenced,
in August 1997, to plan this ambitious project. A letter, describing my
intended project, was sent to various organizations, including the NASA
Online Educational Resources page. Responding to my letter sent to the
previous organization was Jim Gass, himself specifically from the Astronomical
Data Center. From this beginning I organized the structure and content
of the page and a volunteer labor-force of 17 fellow scouts, friends, kin,
and contacts (all listed below). Each helper was delegated a specific task,
I created for them, to complete by a set date. The magnitude of this page
required all the helpers and an efficient division of their collective
labor. This page, then, is a product of the helpers’ work as a direct result
of my leadership—the very ends required of an Eagle Scout candidate. This
page is designed and dedicated to serve those seeking knowledge about space
exploration. It is not an in depth analysis and description of space exploration,
rather it provides a survey of the field in a comprehensive and concise
fashion. I would like to offer special thanks to all who contributed to
the making of the Space Exploration Web Site, especially Jim Gass, my contact
and the host of this page and Chris Hampton, the web page designer who
implemented, with his own savory spices and skill, the plan I provided
him of this page. An approximate gross man-hour input of 225 hours went
into the making of this page which was completed on November 23, 1997.
