As mentioned recently, we’re going to do a picture of the week/month and put it in the sidebar. Actually, we couldn’t decide if we wanted to do a picture of the week or the month, so we’ve split the difference, at least to start. Here’s how this works: In the comments below, submit a picture that you’d like to see posted on the sidebar. The comment with the most upvotes (downvotes will not be counted) will be posted in the sidebar for around two weeks.
We’re still figuring out all the details, so things may change, but for now, submissions and votes will be open until the end of the day (in some timezone, somewhere) on September 30. At that time, my fellow mods and I will tally up the results and the winning picture will be posted in the sidebar on (or around) October 1. At some point after that happens (probably around a week later), we’ll start another thread and the process will repeat, with a target date of October 15.
Feel free to make multiple submissions in this thread, though bear in mind that you probably don’t want to split your own votes. We hope to keep doing this for a while, so don’t dump all your good pictures at once.
We will develop more formal rules as we go along, but given that this is /r/nasa, the picture should be somehow related to something that NASA does. The regular rules apply, so no image macros, rage comics, etc. Although it hasn’t been much of an issue in general, we will not be posting any NSFW images in the sidebar regardless of how they might be tagged.
The mods reserve the right to not use the highest-voted image if they feel that voting hasn’t been fair, if the image doesn’t reflect what /r/nasa is all about, or for any other reason.
With that said, post away!
Update: And the winner is Space Shuttle Endeavour departing KSC for the final time submitted by /u/jardeon.
We’ll get that up in the side link shortly. If you didn’t win, feel free to re-submit next time, probably in about 2 weeks.
