I Owe This To DAWN - This Blog Is For You

Hey Space Placers!

I hope you had a chance to read my WTOP article on NASA. It was very popular and had over 50K hits on Google Trends. I also received a number of Tweets from NASA, including this one:

Well, I felt really BAD about leaving DAWN out of my article - I just couldn't include every mission NASA has going on as it would have made the article too long.

So, DAWN, this Blog is for you. 

Just so you know I have written nine previous blogs on your mission. And I have followed your mission closely because of my interest in meteorites (I own 208 in my collection including HED's from Vesta), asteroids and your UCLA (my alma mater)/JPL team. 

When you arrive at Ceres in 2015 I will be covering you in detail with the media here in DC as well as on my blog. As I said in my Tweet to you yesterday, I GUARANTEE IT.

So help me out Space Placers. Visit DAWN's web page where you can get involved in asteroid mapping, see the latest DAWN news and even hang out on Google with the DAWN team.

There. I feel better and I hope DAWN does too.
