>Welcome to this week's issue of The Space Review:
>
>Our potential in space
>---
>Proponents of human space exploration often struggle to develop
>compelling rationales for such missions. Frank Stratford explains
>how the best reason for human spaceflight may be to unlock the vast
>untapped potential of humanity.

>
>Weaponization of space: who's to blame?
>---
>Some media accounts credit -- or blame -- the United States for
>perceived plans to put weapons in space. Jim Oberg uses a recent
>article as the latest evidence that space weaponization efforts by
>the former Soviet Union are often overlooked.
>http://www.thespacereview.com/article/976/1
>
>Rebutting the regulatory myth
>---
>So just how heavy is the regulatory burden for commercial launch
>companies? Joe Latrell takes issue with a recent article that
>suggested that such companies have few regulatory issues to deal with.

>
>Galileo: is the symbol stumbling?
>---
>As European officials try to develop a new financing package for the
>Galileo satellite navigation system, the debate continues over the
>true purpose of the project. Taylor Dinerman argues that political
>visions are blinding some European officials to more practical
>alternatives.

>Review: Red Moon Rising
>---
>The 50th anniversary of Sputnik has provided a major opportunity for
>publishers to release books about the historical event. Jeff Foust
>reviews one book that looks at the origins of the Space Age with a
>more geopolitical focus.

>If you missed it, here's what we published last week:
>
>Looking back versus looking ahead
>---
>The 50th anniversary of the launch of Sputnik is a natural occasion
>to take measure of what we have -- and have not -- accomplished in
>space. Jeff Foust describes how this is a more appropriate time to
>start looking ahead.
>http://www.thespacereview.com/article/972/1
>
>Sputnik's blastoff: the terrifying view from the launch site
>---
>The launch of Sputnik was the first time a rocket had deliberately
>flown a trajectory intended to place something in orbit. Jim Oberg
>describes how, to the people witnessing the launch, that flight
>actually looked frightening.
>http://www.thespacereview.com/article/971/1
>
>SpaceWar 2057
>---
>Sputnik opened up a whole new environment for the military to
>exploit, but one that has been used to support combat rather than as
>a battlefield itself. Dwayne Day explains why the slowing pace of
>military space developments makes it unlikely we'll see revolutionary
>changes in the military's use of space over the next half-century.
>http://www.thespacereview.com/article/970/1
>
>Sputnik in perspective: the totalitarian heritage
>---
>Sputnik was one of the most famous products of one of the worst
>totaltarian regimes to exist in human history. Taylor Dinerman
>examines why the Soviet Union, like Nazi Germany before it, was drawn
>to rocketry.
>http://www.thespacereview.com/article/969/1
>
>The Exploration of, and Conquest of, the Moon!
>---
>Journeys to the Moon were on the minds of aerospace experts and the
>public alike in the years prior to the launch of Sputnik. Ken Murphy
>reviews two 1950s-era books that took very different approaches to
>how humans might go to the Moon.
>http://www.thespacereview.com/article/968/1
>
>Space myths
>---
>Spaceflight is an expensive, high-tech endeavor that suffers from too
>much government regulation, right? A lot of people might agree with
>that sentiment, but Wayne Eleazer busts some enduring myths.
>http://www.thespacereview.com/article/967/1
>
>Miscalculations of Galileo: Europe's answer to GPS is floundering
>---
>Galileo has gone from the one serious competitor to the American GPS
>satellite navigation system to one battling for its survival.
>Timothy Barnes reviews the history of the European program and
>problems it has encountered along the way.
>http://www.thespacereview.com/article/966/1
>
>Beyond the Outer Space Treaty
>---
>As the Outer Space Treaty turns 40, some people have criticized it as
>a relic from the Cold War. Taylor Dinerman explains how the treaty,
>like other international accords, don't reflect the state of space
>today.
>http://www.thespacereview.com/article/965/1
>
>Titan of the world
>---
>A former Titan missile complex in Washington state is up for sale on
>eBay, prompting some creative thinking about how it could be put to
>use. Dwayne Day describes his preliminary plans for world domination.

>Review: A Ball, A Dog, and A Monkey
>---
>Thursday marks the 50th anniversary of the launch of Sputnik and the
>beginning of the Space Age, and a number of books have been recently

>a new era.
