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

This week's issue of The Space Review has a couple of articles of interest. Former NASA Administrator Mike Griffin looks at the current direction of NASA. Japan's IKAROS sailship unfurls its sails! How can you measure support for spaceflight? And Jeff Foust looks at a new science book.
