A little over a year ago I decided to take the plunge and pursue a life long dream of mine to be involved with the niche market of space exploration. I've always been interested in the topic but have never really done anything with it.

I started a blog and it kind of took off due to the Mars Curiosity landing. That was the first big step for me, it destroyed my servers. The traffic was too much to keep up with. After some hard work and determination I've gotten it to a place where it gets a steady stream of traffic.

I'm in contact with the folks at NASA, SpaceX, etc and am working on stories that other space outlets don't cover. I have tons of respect for the other blogs and news sites out there, but my take on it is a little different. I'm a normal guy that loves everything about the mystery that is space.

Here's a link to the site http://www.spaceindustrynews.com .

A lot of work has gone into the layout recently and I'm continuing to work on it on a daily basis, tweaking small things, optimizing code for load time, caching, minimizing, cdn-ing.

Thanks for your interest. If you have any feedback it would be greatly appreciated.
