Re: Most Hams in Space at one time?
Currently there are 9 licensed American Amateur Radio operators on the ISS currently going by the list that is at the ARISS site on RAC.org.
Is this the most hams in space to date or has there been more before this shuttle-ISS mission?

I don't know the answer to your question Jim, but I DO know it is the largest group of Non-Active hams in space at one time.

I'm tired of the lack of civility in today's times. Why is it that so many people seem to spend their time complaining about what others do. What happened to the golden rule?
In an all volunteer service and individual hobby, there is never any benefit to criticizing how one thinks others should use their ham radio time. Its our hobby, we should do what we can with it, and encourage and support those that are active. There just is nothing forward serving in complaining about others.
Do what we can, and/or get out of the way of what others want to do. But no amount of complaining ever acomplishes anything in ham radio other than denegrate us all.

Hi Bob, I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiments. Unfortunately if you tune across the bands or surf this list and other amateur radio forums you will find that, just as in everyday life, some folks just are not happy unless they have something to complain about. Without question it does seem more prevalent in the ham ranks though. I probably won't make many friends by saying that but it's the truth. 73, Michael, W4HIJ
