Henry Spencer

Henry Spencer is author of C-News and The Ten Commandments for C Programmers. He is a highly regarded space enthusiast and historian, and is a familiar and respected presence on several space forums, including USENET and the Internet. His knowledge of space history is such that the "I Corrected Henry Spencer" virtual t-shirt award was created as a reward for anyone who can catch him in an error of fact. Thus far, there are few winners.

He planned the Canadian Solar Sail project (now defunct), and was Software Architect for MOST, a Canadian science microsatellite dedicated to studying variable light from stars and extrasolar planets launched by Eurockot in the first quarter of 2003.
