A short strange road

About a month ago, I decided to expand my twitter presence and began using @moonrangerlaura for tweets about space, the space community and the space business.

In the first week I got an amazing response, in large part to many of my fellow twitter friends who helped spread the word. I would love to list them all here, but I am sure I would miss some. To all of you, THANKS.

Just when I thought everything was going great, it got even better. Wired.com's Geek Dad Blog created the list of 100 Geeks You Should Follow on Twitter. If you follow the link and scroll down the list you see names like Phil Plait (@badastronomer), Will Wheaton (@wilw), Neil Gaiman (@neilhimself) and Astronaut Mike Massimino (@Astro_Mike). At the very bottom of the list, you see @moonrangerlaura!

I was and continue to be flabbergasted.

As a result of the success of @moonrangerlaura, I am putting this blog in place. I am not sure how or how often this will be used. But, at least it will be a place for discussion. I appreciate all of the support everyone has given me. Thank you all.
