Re: Space Calendar - "Forthcoming Attractions" for 2004
I was browsing various threads earlier today and came across a request for any links to websites which give details of space activities for the year ahead. I know of one, an excellent one from JPL, but as I can't find the actual posting again I figure I'll just start from scratch. So, here you go, hope this proves useul to whoever asked the question...
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/calendar
There is a LOT of detail on here - anniversaries, launches, astronomical info, but it is an official JPL site, updated regularly to take into account slips in schedules and timetables etc. I find it an invaluable resource as a writer and Outreach educator.

Wow, that's a great link. That site just went into my "Space" bookmarks. 
Some useful links while MER are active.
