Space Review is Out

• Taylor Dinerman thinks treaties are next to worthless out in the cold of space. "In the end, America’s freedom to use space will have to be actively defended. Negotiations over space debris or calls for talks or moratoriums merely prolong US vulnerability." I can't disagree with that.
• Peter C. Klanowski says that the ESA did not try to cover up anything after the explosion of the Ariane 5.
• Donald A. Beattie argues that there are not resources compelling us to send people back to the Moon. I would argue more space is resource enough.
• An interview with Michael Cassutt, a sci-fi writer of SG-1, Farscape, and Max Headroom (2 out of 3 ain't bad ).
• Bob Mahoney tells NASA how to increase public interest in space.
• Andrew E. Turner talks about ocean launch platforms in the wake of the Sea-Launch failure.
