Dear sci.space.history

Dear Victoria;

You are not an agency - you are private corporation/foundation
misrepresenting yourself. If anyone is deceiving the unsuspecting
public - it is you.

No kidding.

The first thing you notice is that the web site is very badly done. All of
the graphics look like they were done in MS Paint, or something equally
primitive.

If you poke around on the web site a bit more, you'll find that the Director
(Chairman of the board & chief executive officer & founder) is Mr. Rick R.
Dobson, Jr. Keep looking and you'll find copies of "letters" they've sent
to NASA, ESA, etc. On the letter to ESA, you'll find the "private/unlisted"
phone for Mr. Rick R. Dobson, Jr. If you do a reverse lookup on that number
(minus the extension), you'll find that it belongs to this company:

It seems that his "private/unlisted" number would seem to be that of his
"day job" at a structural engineering company that seems to build buildings
(nothing aerospace).

But if you want, there is a page where you can send in donations to this
private corporation that claims to be an international space agency (located
in Omaha, Nebraska):

I personally wouldn't send them a dime. They seem to be doing everything
they can to get their web site to show up in Google searches, likely because
someone just might start taking them seriously and actually send them some
money. :-P
