ThinkSpace
Reviewed September 3, 1999 by a 16 year old from Shrub Oak, NY who is affiliated with the site. ThinkSpace is an informative and educational webpage designed to teach people about space. Using the Internet style of learning we created a Web page that would be both informative and fun for the Internet user. There are five main sections to the page: Stars, Galaxies, Solar System, Universe, and Astronomers. Additionally, there are several interactive areas, such as chat, a picture gallery, games and a writing center. The Web site is supplemented by a comprehensive pop-up glossary, search engine, message board, and guestbook.

The Satellite Site
"Would anyone mind if I gave this site six stars? From The Tech Museum of Innovation, comes this beyond-wow introduction to satellites, suitable for all ages. After you’ve learned the what, why and how of man-made satellites, the don’t-miss-it click is the Java-based Satellite Construction Set. First, choose a mission for your satellite. Will it be direct broadcast television, remote sensing or scientific research? Then correctly install each of five subsystems (from a list of eight) by clicking and dragging them into place."
