In praise of the Eastern Range
---
The Eastern Range, which includes the launch facilities at Cape Canaveral, has a bad reputation in some quarters of the space industry for being expensive and difficult to use. Edward Ellegood argues that reputation is largely undeserved, thanks to changes in the way the range does business over the last decade.

Revisiting "Space: The Next Business Frontier"
---
Remember when Lou Dobbs was the prophet of space profits? Jeff Foust dusts off a 12-year-old book written by the business media personality and SPACE.com founder, and compares Dobbs's views and predictions about the commercial space industry with what has transpired since.
