The Space Review this week
The new issue of The Space Review begins with Jeff Foust discussing the annoying tendency of the press to describe high altitude balloon flights as space flights: It’s time to pop the space balloon meme.
Kit Martin argues that development and demonstrations of fully closed-loop life support systems for long duration spaceflights will benefit not only the exploration and development of space but also resource conservation on earth: An experiment in sustainability and spaceflight.
Jeff Foust reviews the book, Crossing the Threshold: Advancing into Space to Benefit the Earth by Paul O. Wieland.
