Nugget Family Robinson Welcomes New Writers!

STS-129
Found in HubPages - No Better Place!
Lost In Space was really one of a series of take-offs on Daniel Defoe's classic novel Robinson Crusoe-- You know the spin-offs, like Walt Disney's Swiss Family Robinson, etc., etc. The TV futuristic series of the 1960s that starred June Lockhart, Guy Williams, Jonathan Harris, and crew - the cult classic Lost In Space - was "space Family Robinson."
Now, the HubNuggets Team has stowed away like Dr. Smith on Mission STS-129 and Space Shuttle ATLANTIS on its launch of November 16, 2009. We are Nugget Family Robinson, stowaways, but well trained by previous missions.
They haven't found us yet! But we've found you, new Hubbers.
Our Top 10 Picks of Hubnugget Wannabes are listed further below. Please enjoy them, and remember to take a few seconds to VOTE for your favorite in the POLL at the end of this page. It will help new writers a lot with extra attention, some increased traffic, and some encouragement to write more and invite friends to join us. We sincerely appreciate every single vote.
Mission Patches
The Missions
The Mission for STS-129 is Stocking the Station. The Mission for the HubNuggets Team is Stocking the Pages. We will present the works of new Hubbers to our readers and the universe. In fact, we do this every week in a HubNuggets Hub like this.
For the STS-129 Mission Patch, the sun shines on the International Space Station above and the USA below, illustrating a bright future for US manned spaceflight.
For STS-129 and the ISS, spare parts being delivered mean "spare years on the station’s life." HOWEVER, the Top 10 New Hubs listed below are anything but spare parts! They are our top picks from the past week's total submissions to HubPages by new writers - a couple thousand in all.
For this Mission, the HubNuggets Team also has a Mission Patch.
Nugget Family Robinson Mission Team
Canada in HubSpace
You see from the big yellow X that we lost ProCW temporarily for his own secret mission. He'll be back, but meanwhile, we recuited two more team members that are really winners!
They are both quick studies and had no problem at all with Multiple-G escape weights and Zero-G weight...less...ness - or stowing away on a space shuttle. After all, Mission STS-129 neglected to recuit women - or Canadians. Our two new mission specialists here for Mission Nugget Family Robinson are both! They happily join Canadian mission commander Captain Shirley Anderson.
Mission Fanfare...
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide, O Canada,
We stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Choosing HubNuggets
Any nationality writer can become a Hubnugget! HubPages is a friendly community that welcomes new Hubbers every day from around the world. We recognize a new batch of Wannabes each week in order to get the word out about the great writing here from all parts of the globe. Perhaps one day we will have Hubbers in every nation on Earth.
To be eligible as a HubNugget Wannabe and then elected by your peers as a HubNugget, you must have joined HubPages within the last 60 days, have an author score of 75 or above, and a Hub score at least 55 on a Hub published within the 7 days of the date of the current HubNugget Team's Hub (like this one).
More HubNuggets Tips
Perfect your Hubs with original content, generally a length of about 800 words or so, and a title that grabs attention for an interesting topic. Take a fresh look at something or write from your unique experience. Check your spelling and grammar. Emphasize your content with 1 or 2 photos; then add a relevant video, if applicable; consider links and RSS feeds as well, and have fun!

Commendations and PraisesLoading...
@RedElf Did you remember to stow away the Canadarm? We'll use every thing we managed aboard. :)
Welcome! Glad to have you in space with us on this mission.
Patty, the best part of the training was the Zero-G weight...less...ness. I lost all that weight without dieting...loved it, will do it everytime I need to step on the scales from now on.
Thanks for the great welcome.
I can honestly say that being a 'Hub-nugget-picker' is not an easy job because there are way too many great hubs to choose from.
Great hub and great pic too.
@Zsuzsy So glad you are having a good time of it. But it IS hard to choose just 10 isn't it?
Wow, I'm flattered!! Thanks so much :)
From the photo, it looks like Zsuzsy and RedElf did great on the KC-135A (I think we all know the other name for that plane).
They did a great job picking nuggets, too! Awesome hub, Patty! Now I had best get back to the controls. I think I saw Dr. Smith poking around there!
Thanks for the nomination. I really appreciate it!
Great Hub Patty, and good choices to bring on board your Team! (I'm a little partial being there is a great Canadian Connection in both!) Welcome to Zsusy Bee and RedElf to this team.
I haven’t always had the time to check out the newbies that are showcased on the HubNugget Wannabe Nominations, but I get here as often as I can. This week’s selection is great. Now to choose. Hmmm....
Phew! Man am I exhausted! Just touched down in the back fourty with my jet pack, the exhaust has chafed my thighs and I have to wipe some seagull poo from my chest but I think I'll be ok, the prototype is ready for Mission STS-129!
Thanks for the nomination, you wordsmiths of the Nugget Family Robinson are a riot! I am honored and electric with joy!
Time to go 5...4...3...2...1...BLASTOFF!!!
Thanks so much for the nomination this week!
