Contest: Win Lunar Science Swag!

By Nancy Atkinson - July 26, 2010 02:22 PM UTC | Planetary Science

I attended the NASA Lunar Science Institute's Annual Lunar Forum last week, and the wonderful people from NLSI provided a very cool bag of goodies -- including a great backpack/bag with the NLSI logo, a bookmark, luggage nametag, lanyard (including an official PRESS badge!), stickers and other informational handouts. We're giving this prize package away to one of our readers! Just send an email to [email protected] and put "Lunar Science" in the subject line. We'll do a random pick from all the emails we get. Submit an email by Monday, August 2 at 12:00pm PDT.
