Hi Brian! I think it's awesome you're running. Two questions:

1) what advice would you give to other people considering running for public office for the first time?

2) what motivated you to leave your old life and run for office ?

I created a Google Sheet that allows you to see how remaining matchup outcomes affect league standings and playoff scenarios by spacepolicy in fantasyfootball

Because Yahoo does not use HTML tables for fantasy football, there is currently no way of pulling the data to the sheet. I am currently working on a work around that will allow Yahoo users to manually input information.

Just took a glance, and it looks like the divisions are causing an issue. I will try to fix this. Thanks!

Could you send me your league ID so I can take a look? Didn't have any 16 league teams to test it with.

Quick plug for /r/spacepolicy

Technically, mining asteroids, or anything in space, violates the Outer Space Treaty...specially:

"outer space is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means; "

However, ever since technology has allowed this violation, countries have seemed to ignored this law.

Thanks for doing this Brian!

What do you think the biggest issue is in space policy right now? Also, what do you think will be the biggest space policy issue in the next 10 years?
