The Space Technology Hall of Fame is a fascinating Web site that honors "the innovators who have transformed technology originally developed for space into commercial products." Selection criteria for the induction process are given in the Hall of Famers section. It is interesting to note the weights of each criterion, with the most points given for public awareness and social benefit. The Hall of Fame was started in 1988, and descriptions of all the technologies inducted since then can be browsed by year. New inductees for 2003 will be announced in February. An online Space Challenge is also provided, which is a ten-question quiz about some interesting facts of the Hall of Fame.
