Vote for SOHO in NASA's Mission Madness Finals!

Heliophiles,

After a nail biting 26,267 to 25,890 victory in the semi-finals over LRO
(which kicked out Apollo 11 and Hubble in earlier rounds), SOHO has advanced
to the finals in NASA's 2009 Mission Madness Tournament:
http://mission-madness.nasa.gov/mm/bracket.html

In the finals, we're up against an even tougher opponent (SPB), which managed
to get over 40,000 votes in the last two rounds (and kicked out the Mars
Rovers (MER) and Mars Odyssey before). So to win, we will need every vote!

To vote for SOHO,

1. visit:    http://mission-madness.nasa.gov/mm/bracket.html

2. find SOHO (under the large, red SUBMIT VOTE button)

3. click on "SOHO" to highlight the name, then click on blue arrow.

4. click the large, red, "Submit vote" button. You'll be asked to enter some
characters in a pop-up box to verify you're not a robot, and your vote will be
counted;

5. go to (1), above by clicking on the "bracket" link in the middle of the
page,  and repeat as often as you like.

Voting will open tomorrow morning (Monday, April 6) and will close at midnight
(EDT) on Tuesday, April 7. So only two days to vote (April 6-7).

So please VOTE for SOHO, and VOTE OFTEN!! (and tell your friends and families,
and their friends, dogs and cats!)

Thanks for your support!

Bernhard
