The Lensman's Children

Chubby, brunette Eunice Kinnison sat in a rocker, reading the Sunday papers and listening to the radio. Her husband Ralph lay sprawled upon the davenport, smoking a cigarette and reading the current issue of EXTRAORDINARY STORIES against an unheard background of music. Mentally, he was far from Tellus, flitting in his super-dreadnaught through parsec after parsec of vacuous space. E.E. "Doc" Smith, Triplanetary, Chapter 5: "1941"

The Space Review

The current issue of The Space Review has a couple of articles of interest. John C. Mankins follows up on Alan Stern's recent editorial about cost overruns. Multiple authors look at the future of Canada in space. Is there any hope for reform on export control? Taylor Dinerman looks at the ESA...the odd man out.
