Encyclopedia Astronautica off line..

[MANT!]

One of my favorite websites for over 17 years..

http://astronautix.com/

Is closed due to a denial of service attack (possibly traced to lunar landing deniers)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encyclopedia_Astronautica


Hopefully he can make a new site available soon.

Damn.

Wade's site was one of my long-time favorites, going back to the 20th century. I even bought one of his CDs containing (at that point) the entire content of the website.

And you know, I just checked out the thing about three days ago. Still great, even though he stopped updating it years ago.

Now what??

Well, crap.

MANT!

Have you found any evidence moon hoaxers are behind this? I've just spent time looking around for support for this, but no science sites I've looked at mention it, nor do any hoaxer sites seem to even be aware that EA is down.

Still offline, but the folks at Wayback have a copy of an old version of the site..with much of the articles intact..

(Psion, the possible tracing to moon hoaxers that I read has been taken down..now the rumor mill has it that teen hackers did it for fun)..
