"ONE OF THE OLDEST, IF NOT ALREADY THE OLDEST FAN CLUB ORGANIZATION FOR BATTLESTAR GALACTICA"
Battlestar Galactica Fanclub
"LEADING THE BSG UNIVERSE"
Battlestar Fanclub Member Semi-Finalist in Space Race Contest - Please Help by Voting
Colonials -
I'm a relatively new member of the Fanclub. But - I have some very cool news to share, and I could use everyone's help.
- I've made it into the Video Finals for the Seattle Space Needle's Space Race 2012 Contest.
- It's down to 20 people (from thousands), and voting via FaceBook has commenced.
- The "Final 5" contestants - those with the most votes between now and 18 March - will go to Seattle and compete for the ultimate prize - a suborbital flight into space.
- It's important to vote daily. Please vote for me here:

- Please let me know if you might be able to help spread the word to Colonials and Cylons alike - I really need votes!
- The grand prize consists of a suborbital spaceflight, up to an altitude of about 62 miles (100 kilometers), the internationally accepted boundary of outer space. The flight, aboard a vehicle provided by Space Adventures and Armadillo Aerospace, will last about 30 minutes from takeoff to landing, with about 6 minutes of zero gravity. Training for the flight will take about two days.
- Other notable suborbital spaceflights in history include: US astronauts Alan Shepard and Gus Grissom's flights during the Mercury program in 1961; flights of the USAF/NASA X-15 in 1963; and the first commercial manned spaceflights of SpaceShip One in 2004.
- Like many of us, going into space has been a dream of mine since I was in grade school.... Watching the original Battlestar series on TV way back then made me want to journey where Galactica and the Viper pilots did. I really want to win this contest to continue to inspire my two sons (ages 6 and 8) and their friends, and help keep the dream of human spaceflight alive for their generation.

Please let me know if you think the club can help push me into the "Final 5"! I would really appreciate their support in achieving this lifelong ambition.

Everyone -
Yesterday, Shawn and Daniel put out the call to vote - and its working!!
I believe that the Battlestar Fanclub has single-handedly moved me into 5th Place for the Seattle Space Needle Space Race 2012 contest, and made me a serious contender for the suborbital space flight!!
Thank you all for voting! Please continue to vote, daily, here:
http://spacerace.herokuapp.com/entries/103

Keep me in the Final 5! I will keep you posted!
