The Space Review January 11, 2010
Welcome to this week's issue of The Space Review:
The future of American human space exploration and the "Critical Path"
---
While the future of NASA's human spaceflight program is currently uncertain, some aspects of future policy appear inevitable. Roger Handberg argues one likely change is how the US works with international partners.

Big Black and the new bird: the NRO and the early Space Shuttle
---
As the shuttle program winds down, some are studying the early history of the shuttle and the policy decisions that led to its development. Dwayne Day describes how some documents help explain how the NRO came to use the shuttle and the concerns it had on relying on it.

The exoplanet explosion
---
Over the last 15 years astronomers have discovered over 400 planets around other stars. Jeff Foust reports on how a NASA mission promises to generate a flood of additional discoveries, including the first exoplanets similar in size and orbit to the Earth.

Smashing RORSATs: the origin of the F-15 ASAT program
---
There has been increased interest in recent years in antisatellite weapons, but this is not the first time major space powers have pursued them. Dwayne Day discusses how newly-released government documents shed new light on the US decision in the 1970s to pursue one ASAT program.

A comic book, the Cold War, and the Moon
---
For some, science fiction and speculation helped generate interest in space exploration. Taylor Dinerman suggests that, in Europe, a couple of volumes of a popular comic book series may have been equally influential.

If you missed it, here's what we published in our previous issue:
NASA's dangerous new year
---
The next several months will be critical to NASA and its future plans as the White House prepares a new space exploration policy. Taylor Dinerman warns of the potential dangers facing NASA if the White House changes course or doesn't raise then agency's budget.

Complexity and danger
---
Some argue that human spaceflight is such a complex, dangerous venture that it should be left to government agencies. Bob Clarebrough counters that private ventures are just as capable as governments, if not more so, to explore the solar system.

A lighter shade of black: the (non) mystery of STS-51J
---
A handful of shuttle flights in the 1980s and 1990s were classified military missions, and details about only one of those missions have been released. Dwayne Day provides some more information about this particular shuttle mission and why it may remain the only one to be declassified for years to come.

Review: By Any Means Necessary
---
Nearly a decade after orbital space tourism became a reality, there have been remarkably few first-person accounts of these journeys. Jeff Foust reviews a book by Greg Olsen that recounts his space travel adventure.
