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

Lots of stuff in the current issue of The Space Review. Jeff Foust reviews a book dedicated to an engine. What an engine, though! Dwayne A. Day looks at one rocket failure. Taylor Dinerman looks to India and the Moon with Chandrayaan 2. Nader Elhefnawy on...space cadets (oh noes, he invoked the name of Jeffrey Bell!). Finally, Jeff Foust looks at the space economy and the public-private partnership.
