Yes, it's on http://www.ras.org.uk/press/pn02-06.htm and this is IMO
absolutely OK (whoever stands behind RAS). This is IMHO *not* making
propaganda - I'm sure that there are members of RAS among those 27 people
listed in the masthead of the MNRAS article so RAS has a right to "be
proud" of them and their publication in RAS's own journal and so RAS has a
right to issue a press release on *their* website. By the same token we
we have a right prepare press releases on ours.

Why spaceflightnow.com reposts RAS PRs? - is a good question.
Would spaceflightnow.com repost TCfA PRs? - is even a better question. :-)
