[STSP] Editorial on space science in Sun-Herald last Sunday (14 August) plus our IHY representative.

[Iver Cairns]

Dear Members of the Australian STSP community, 

Greetings after a gap in communications. Two things. 

First, attached you will find an editorial/opinion piece by Sun-Herald 
reporter Daniel Dasey, titled "Why we should get into 
space'', published in last Sunday's Sun-Herald. It includes material 
from an interview with me in my capacity as Chair of the National 
Committee for Space Science. Enjoy. 

Second, Prof. Brian Fraser, U. Newcastle, is the new 
IHY (International Heliophysical Year) representative 
for Australia on the International IHY Steering Committee. 
He can be reached at brian.fraser at newcastle.edu.au . 

Best wishes,

            Iver Cairns.
