2010 EMRR Challenge Winners Announced

Do you remember 2010? Bell-bottom jeans, cell phones the size of a loaf of bread, the new Atari 2600 ….

Okay, 2010 wasn’t that long ago. But, it’s been a while since Nick Esselmann kicked off the 2010 EMRR Challenge. I took over EMRR (now RocketReviews.com) at the end of that year. Although filled with an incredible amount of information about rocketry, EMMR had become difficult, almost impossible, to continue to maintain and enhance.

Design This Spaceship Contest – Time to Vote

The entries are all excellent, so you’ll enjoy reading about them and viewing the photographs.

Another Design the Spaceship Contest Update

I’d also like to give the contestants a couple of days to review the entries to make sure I didn’t mess something up. So, I’ll set the site to start accepting votes on August 10, but the official voting period will begin on August 15.

Design the Spaceship Contest Update

Voting for the Design the Spacecraft contest will begin in a few days. Between an earache and some work at my real job, I got tied up and haven’t finished cleaning up the entries and setting up the site for voting. But, I will try to get that done before the weekend. My apologizes for the delay and thanks again to all of those who are participating in the contest.
