And you're doing that on Nasa.gov or another search engine?

Well, we use Bing- but we do basically the same thing. For example, from our last competition "weight of a person on other planets site:nasa.gov" or something like that. It takes some searching, but that's part of the event. Or you could create a link list- we covered that earlier on this thread.

Yeah but eventually you need URL's from nasa.gov. So we search from nasa.gov...

If you use the words site:nasa.gov in your search from any online search engines, you only get results from NASA. It's much more efficient and sites like Bing give better results than NASA anyway.

I made up a resources site on Wordpress with a copy of the rules and some useful links. Its not password protected (as per the rules) so if you want to use it in your competition, feel free. It's at [] and if you have anything else that I should add to it, tell me! :)
