You don't need a capital T in "the Foundation." While you can get away with using single quotes instead of double quotes on the name of a short-form work, you do need to pick one or the other, and the period or comma at the end of the sentence goes INSIDE either one. (At least they do in American English. The British have different rules about that, but they also spell "color" with a U.) Also, putting quote marks around an expression, such as "real pilot," means "not really a real pilot." It's kind of like saying, "I listened to a 'pro-science' politician who didn't want to support aviation education in schools." If the phrase really is what you mean, then don't disown it with quotation marks. I feel that if you gave your blog a little more proofreading, you would make a better impression on your readers. Your message is serious and professional, so your presentation should do it justice. You guys could stand to clean up your punctuation and stuff. You don’t need a capital T in “the Foundation.”
