My letter to the next NASA Administrator:

Well, big news. I am planning to move the Space Library to a new home. And I need some help - in 35 years I've never asked for funding or subscriptions for my Space Report, to keep it independent, but now I need to raise additional funds. gofundme.com/f/fund-jonatha…
