The Space Review

Several items of interest in the current edition of The Space Review. Stephen Metschan looks at alternatives to Ares (part one of two). Irina Kerner looks at the ESA's proposal to convert their unmanned cargo carrier into a manned vehicle. Taylor Dinerman wonders if NASA should be involved with solar power. Finally, in a subject near and dear to my heart, Anthony Young speculates on the whereabouts of Tom Swift, Jr.
