Heading for the Heavens
Gurbir Singh reflects on India’s decision to place an astronaut in orbit. Coming off the back of stunning successes, is it driven by a sensible push to become only the fourth country to put a person in space – or just a cynical political move?

Shuttling to the Moon
On the 50th anniversary of Apollo 8's historic journey into lunar orbit, the Editor surveys the potential for exploiting lunar resources and describes Lockheed Martin's proposal for a lander that could provide logistics support.
