You may have noticed a couple of recent posts that included videos from the great folks at

Spacevidcast.

Universe Today is proud to announce that Spacevidcast will now be a regular feature here on UT, so we hope you'll enjoy all the additional content and videos you'll see from Spacevidcast -- which has the stated (and honorable!) goals of educating "the planet on the values of space flight" and to "open up the cosmos and truly make space commonplace for everyone on the planet."

In addition to the features you'll see on Universe Today, Spacevidcast also does daily on-demand episodes, weekly live shows and live HD coverage of major space events. So check out

Spacevidcast's site

for more information. And give Benjamin and Cariann Higginbotham and their team a warm, Universe Today welcome!
