How nice that Astronomy Picture of the Day and your blog were both started on my birthday. Thanks for four years of presnets, Jon!

I very much like the original content on this blog. It’s not just linking to other people or rehashing some talking points. (Which are not lousy things by themselves, but somebody has to do the original work.)

I know I’ve referenced ideas and data I’ve first seen here, multiple times and in multiple places. Especially the ESAS critique! But many other things as well, like depots. You also were a great example for me, to start blogging. I wish I had the skill and patience to write as well rounded posts as most of yours are.

So, reader numbers don’t tell everything. Your ideas circulate far and wide, and your work has effect.
I’d say, for spacefaring interested engineers (which I think is a group that matters a lot, hopefully in the future especially), this blog is pretty influential.
