Comments on: Space Lifestyle http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2007/09/10/space-lifestyle/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

I clicked on the magazine cover and they spammed me with a HUGE window that took the entire screen. I managed to shrink it to a reasonable size, then I started reading their instructions page.

Do they seriously expect everyone who is interested in their magazine to learn YET ANOTHER INTERFACE? I'm still curious about the interview. Do you think you can post it online?
