Hi rhn_mk1,
This is Tariq Malik, managing editor at Space.com, and thank you for note regarding the missing link for photographer Rogelio Bernal Andreo in our recent piece. That was an oversight on our part and we have added the link here: https://www.space.com/39699-astrophotographer-spots-elon-musks-roadster-in-space-video.html https://www.space.com/39699-astrophotographer-spots-elon-mus...
Mr. Andreo actually reached out directly to Space.com to share his video with our team via our submissions system, and asked that we consider showcasing it in a future story after giving us permission to use his video and comments.
Mr. Andreo did, however, mention that he was in the process of updating his website and asked that we link to his Facebook page in the image credits. And we did so.
I just wanted to reach out to let you know that Mr. Andreo did give Space.com full permission to use both his video and blog post as sources to share his story.
Thank you so much for your time and your interest in space. We’re happy you enjoyed the story.
Sincerely,
Tariq Malik
Space.com managing editor

- rhn_mk1 9y agoHi, thank you for making the clarification. My initial impression is clearly wrong now - you got author's permission after all. However, the reaction to your article was not malicious - it was caused by the fact that you didn't let the readers know what was happening behind the scenes. As a result, the article looked dishonest. I don't feel guilty for pointing out the missing info, but I acknowledge I misjudged you.
