[edit] Jonathan Vos Post

"Whereas Jonathan V. Post has imagination and vitality and intelligence in excess, it is with great pleasure that I recommend him for a Director-at-Large position with the 1994 National Space Society Board. I can think of no one livelier or brighter to add to the composition of that Board. I have known him for many years and his creative bent is truly amazing." -- Ray Bradbury

"I'm impressed by your range of activities, and am sure you will be a valuable asset to the National Space Society." -- Arthur C. Clarke, Chancellor: International Space University
