Please Support The Space Show
Dec. 1, 2020
The year 2020 is about to close and I'm sure you will agree it has been a year like no other. We have endured health and financial challenges, societal stresses and even shortages of everyday essential items we used to take for granted. We have all adapted to meeting over Zoom rather than in person, wearing masks, plus helping to protect others along with ourselves. Through it all, we have emerged stronger than before with our focus on space because we know space makes all our lives better, something we all need now more than ever. We all know the value of robust planetary research, Earth science, human spaceflight and medicine, space settlements, commercializing space and expanding opportunities and access, plus gaining more knowledge about who we are, our home solar system and beyond. Maybe even one day soon making first contact. The Space Show has stood the test of time and of 2020. With your help, The Space Show will continue standing tall to face all challenges as we move into the New Year with many new possibilies awaiting each of us. With your help, The Space Show will continue to evolve and be better than ever as a reliable source of information for our future growth with space as a guide. We will continue bringing great guests into your world addressing vital and interesting topics. We want to continue making available to you a quality forum to promote your interests, your IP, books, products and ideas. The Space Show vision burns bright as we continue on to our 20th anniversary in June 2021 where we will celebrate excellence whichall of you who have made possible.
As in the previous 19 years, this is the time of year for The Space Show/One Giant Leap Foundation to replenish itself to carry on for the new year. To make sure that The Space Show meets the challenges of 2021 , we need partners just like you to help us stay strong and keep going as we are completely listener funded. We can't go it alone, we need your support. We need listeners and supporters just like you to help make it so. Many of you listen to our programs and participate with us without contributing or supporting us. While our content is distributed free of charge, it does come with a high cost to us so please continue listening and participating but do support us for 2021. Don't rely on others to keep The Space Show strong. Keeping us strong is a group activity and we need your financial support along with your participation in our programming so please donate to The Space Show/One Giant Leap Foundation during our annual campaign which is now underway. We also greatly appreciate our existing supporters and welcome your continued support. Please don't forget to inquire about our Advisory Board participation and the sponsorship options available to Space Show supporters.
As a reminder, The Space Show offers many benefits. Here are just a few to consider when deciding to contribute to us:
