Over at The Space Review today, Dwayne Day brings some clarity to the “debate” over the administration’s new space policy, and Jim Oberg demonstrates the cluelessness of many commentators on space weaponry.

Also, Jeff Foust reviews a recent attempt at space commentary by the Utne Reader. It shows that “progressives” are as out to lunch on this topic as most are.

Just as a side note, this is my eight thousandth post here, and I neglected to note my fifth bloggiversary last month.
