[nabs-l] How is sending Louis Braille coins into space relevant?

[David Andrews]

The thing that you might not know is that NASA has worked with us for 
some time, on several programs aimed at increasing access to science 
by blind persons, providing some materials about astronomy etc., to 
the blind etc.  We have a very fruitful relationship with them, and 
yes, the coins are symbolic, but pretty neat.
