I came upon an interesting new magazine in the drugstore the other day: "Commercial Space - the Magazine of Business in Space". It's put out quarterly by McGraw-Hill, and this is already Volume 2, Number 2. It had a Special Introductory Newstand Price of $2.95, so it looks like they're going to promote it. It's full of advertising from various aerospace firms, and has articles on: - Japan's space program - Promoting cooperation with the Russians on a Mars project - Finding new fishing grounds with satellites - Joint efforts between 3M and NASA - An MIT teleoperator project - Where to find info on space research - Globesat's efforts to build small, standard satellites as well as many others. I find it all very encouraging. These are not blue-sky, let's-get-pig-iron-from-the-asteroids type projects, but things of economic value TODAY. There is a lot happening in this field, and a lot more can be done without mythical advances in technology. I intend to subscribe. John Redford DEC-Hudson PS The subscription address is: Commercial Space PO Box 1523 Neptune, NJ 07754-1523 (appropriate!) They want $24.95 for one year, and also want a title, company, and nature of job for the sake of their advertisers.
