Welcome to this week's issue of The Space Review:

Is the vision losing focus?

---
In the six months since President Bush announced the Vision for Space 
Exploration, the plan has suffered from indifference or criticism by 
the media, public, and Congress.  However, Jeff Foust reports, some 
believe the biggest obstacle to implementing the vision could come from 
NASA itself.

Space privatization: road to freedom
---
A recent commentary argues that space privatization will worsen 
conditions on Earth and space and benefit only large corporations.  Sam 
Dinkin responds that space privatization offers a chance for new 
freedom for space settlers and a great return for society and 
government on Earth.

Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?
---
The world, particularly the space community, still mourns the death of 
Carl Sagan in 1996.  Dwayne Day says that now, more than ever, we need 
someone with Sagan's rhetorical skills to make space exploration 
relevant to the general public.

Intelligence failure at the networks
---
Commercial satellite imagery is misused and underused by television 
news networks. Taylor Dinerman argues that proper use of such images 
can allow journalists to cover stories that would otherwise be 
inaccessible.

US public land policy and applications for the Moon and Mars
---
The US has a long history of policies designed to transfer land to 
settlers.  Sam Dinkin describes how those policies can apply to the 
development and colonization of the Moon and Mars.

Review: Musgrave's space story
---
Story Musgrave has never fit into the stereotype of the steely-eyed 
astronaut.  The Space Review reviews "A Space Story", a DVD recording 
of a dynamic, even poetic lecture about space exploration by the former 
astronaut.

If you missed it, here's what we published last week:
Webb's Giant
---
Throughout the Apollo effort NASA administrator James Webb warned that 
the Soviet Union was developing its own giant booster to compete with 
the Americans, a warning that was often dismissed.  Dwayne Day 
describes what Webb knew and how that knowledge became an insurance 
policy for Apollo.

Inflatable POOFs
---
Bigelow Aerospace has made major advances in the development of 
inflatable modules.  Taylor Dinerman says that such modules could play 
a role in both space commercialization and the exploration vision.

Scenario planning for suborbital
---
The rise of a new suborbital industry has raised questions about both 
the size of the industry and the roles for its companies.  Sam Dinkin 
analyzes how the market structure of the suborbital industry will 
differ depending on how many customers there are.

The great launch debate
---
Space exploration advocates are split on the question of whether NASA 
should develop a new heavy-lift launch vehicle.  Jeff Foust reports on 
a debate among various leading space activists on the issue.

We never went to the Moon (No, really.)
---
In the 35 years since Apollo 11 there have been many rumors and claims 
that the landing was faked.  Dwayne Day decides it's time to put all 
the pieces together.
