Welcome to this week's issue of The Space Review:

In the first of a two-part article, Yousaf Butt provides a primer on EMP and how serious a threat weapons-generated pulses are.

Space systems and missile defense in 2010

Space fetishism: obsession or rational action?
---
A recent article criticized space advocates for unduly focusing on some technologies or ideologies as the key to humanity's future in space. John K. Strickland, Jr. responds by noting that while at times people do go too far with such "fetishes", there are rational reasons for some of the advocacy.
