Poll of the Week

By Jim Gerard, INSPIRE Education Specialist, KSC, FL

You may have noticed on the Home Page a new feature in the upper right hand column: Poll of the Week.  Each Tuesday we'll post a new question and look for your answers.  During the week, you can go to the Discussion Board to compare answers, champion your opinion and debate the issue.  Some questions will be serious, and some just for fun.  But whatever the question, don't forget to leave your answer!  You can only vote once, but during the week you can click the 'View Results' link and see where everyone else voted.  After the poll closes, we'll recap it here in the Blog.

Last weeks' question: Who is your favorite astronaut?
Results:        Buzz Aldrin 55 votes 27.8%
                      John Glenn 43 votes 21.7%
             Neil Armstrong 100 votes 50.5%

As you might expect, this poll was just for fun and to do a live test of our polling software.  We knew your favorite astronaut might not be one of the three we listed (maybe we should have had an 'Other' option) but it was interesting to see the tallies go up during the week.  We expected Neil Armstrong would be selected, but are always ready to be surprised by your opinions!  Watch each Tuesday for a new poll question.  We'll tweet out when it is there, or check when you can.
