Hello all. I spent a few hours last week trying to find my way around this excellent site. I then found myself super-nervous at the prospect of publishing my first hub! However, today, I jumped. I would really appreciate any feedback at all on this hub. All suggestions will be truly welcome. Many thanks. I feel better already!!! :-)
You do make a good point in your hub in a funny sort of a way. Since your giving your opinion on something I guess its ok to add them all in one text box. One thing I can suggest is changing your hub title , You are talking about wasting money for personal space travel when it could have being used to build wells and many other humanitarian efforts etc and "Ground Control to Mr Clown" doesn't reflect that. Good luck with HubPages it truly is a great place to hang around and learn lots of new things
euno - read your hub - nicely done
I know that jacob left a comment saying it needs more words - it's fine as it is. The word count is roughly 650 and as it's opinion based, it's long enough. I (usually) aim for between 500 - 800 words.
I'd advise you to break the text up - use maybe three separate text capsules. Include a few pictures capsules too - and I'm sure you could drum up a video. You can arrange the capsules to suit your text - I have a hub that offers a reading list for new hubbers - you'll find a lot on there.
Relache is also a great point of reference for new hubbers as well - check her 'how to' hubs - about improving your hubs ...
relache hubs
Make better use of headers and the summary capsule - again, all can be found in the above, plus the FAQ section, written by the Hubteam.
Good luck on your next hubs and welcome to hubpages
Just had a read, you've made a good start, welcome to hubpages.

Just amazing--sitting at an 80--publish a hub and drop to 67.This place is really starting to suck jelly beans. I knew there was a good reason I had started writing elsewhere. Hmm, I have clients praising my writing up and down and paying me anywhere from 28-60 dollars an hour, and here where I...

Whereas I'm somewhat curious to see how HubPages new experiment for helping authors get Hub feedback help works out on the Hub author end, I'm quite dreading it as a forum reader, because it's all too clear that the entire HubPages-focused forums are about to turn into nothing but these requests...
