    Default Support forum for ex-KSC employees.

    With the closing of the Shuttle program, many who are also space
    enthusiasts/collectors in their own right, have become unemployed
    and disenfranchised from their long-time passion: Working on and for
    the Shuttle program.

    I have tonight created a YAHOO Forum - EX_KSC - for mutual support
    and dialog about our past STS relationship(s) and reconnecting. Job
    suggestions and leads therefor welcome.

    The charter is in work.

    Tom,
    You might also consider creating a companion Twitter account for the same.
    Thanks,

    Based on the almost zero memberships (except a few folks wanting to ask retirees about items or events), I will probably nuke the group after a few more weeks or waiting. :-(

    I have avoided Social Networking sites because of the inherent security risks and phony-friends, ad nauseam, Rick, but during the STS 135 pass tweetup I creates STSISSRETIREE. Have not explored the "How to work tweets" yet. ;-)

    The companion @InsideKSC Twitter account has nearly 4,000 followers now. The process is very managable and blocking options are available to keep away people trying to sell products, or that are just a pain.
