Space
I know, I have both a links section for this, and a
general news section. However, I've also found a number of papers
and articles that are very interesting, but aren't really full web-sites,
so I thought I'd put them here. Besides, there's plenty of other space-related
stuff I'll be adding later.
Have sounds, images, articles, etc, that might fit in
this category? Let me know.

Start things off with an article about why NASA
needs competition, followed by a whole string of potential comapnies
to fill that role (even if the article mostly talks about competition
from another government agency).

It's billed as a space-ship
kit, but it isn't quite. Still, a kit for a sub-orbital skipper
is pretty neat. Now if only I had half a million dollars to get
one...

If you've been watching the news today, you've probably
heard about Survivor
in Space. NBC is going to do a vote-off type show, only these
guys will be going through cosmonaut training, with the last man
standing taking a (hopefully two-way) trip to Mir.
Some more info at Mir
Corp.
NBC has yet to announce how to sign up for consideration, but is
expected to do so next month.

Let's start things off with this interesting article
about a space
elevator, something that's apparently seriously under consideration
by NASA.
Here's an article in the Scientific American about
space propulsion.
Here's a NASA presentation
on advanced propulsion systems (in Acrobat format).
Here's a paper about nuclear
propulsion in space.
