Greenbelt MD (SPX) Aug 11, 2009The U.S. space program needs a figurative "shot-in-the-arm," or maybe it is a "kick-in-the-butt."

Last week Launchspace pointed out that America is building another Apollo-type capsule in order to return to the moon as part of a "ho-hum" and troubled Constellation Program. The objective of a leading space program ... more It's Time To Get Serious About Our 40-Year-Old Dream 
Tempe AZ (SPX) Aug 11, 2009It's time to find out if humans can permanently live and work in space according to Mark Sykes.

What Ever Happened To Reusable Launch Vehicles
Bethesda MD (SPX) Feb 04, 2009The idea of reusing stages or all of a space launch vehicle has been around since before Buck Rogers first appeared in 1928. In fact, Jules Verne wrote about such a vehicle in 1865, when he published "From the Earth to the Moon." Verne was one of the first science fiction authors, but he would be surprised to learn that we have only been able to build a partially reusable vehicle, the Spac ... more Iran Goes Into Space

Patrick AFB FL (AFNS) Jan 19, 2009When people say "the only constant is change," I don't always know for sure if they are specifically referring to the space and launch business, but it seems to fit these days.
