As I look up at the MIR space platform each night I can’t help but wonder what our heavens will look like after countless private corporations and governments proceed with their plans for shooting more and bigger “junk” into orbit.
Unless we are living in a flight-zone or near airport flashing lights we are used to being able to look to the sky for a glimpse of “open space,” of an area generally unaltered by humans.
Whether it is the near sky or far space we are facing the theft of our sky, a theft which has already proceeded very far for those living in the paths of airliners.

 Review: Coastal Zone Space: Prelude to Conflict?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
In COASTAL ZONE: PRELUDE TO CONFLICT, Edward Goldberg, a marine chemist at Scripps Oceanographic Institute, has written a concise and comprehensive volume for the lay person on competing uses in the coastal zone.
Goldberg asserts that population is the biggest threat to coastal zones; more than 50% of the world's population live near the shore (23).
My suggestion for improvement of future editions of COASTAL ZONE SPACE: PRELUDE TO CONFLICT would be to include a brief section on the U.S. Coastal Zone Management Act and information on state coastal programs.

 The Space Review: Prelude to history?
Last week the FAA’s Office of Commercial Space Transportation awarded the airport a commercial spaceport license, the first ever awarded to an inland facility designed to accommodate RLVs rather than their expendable counterparts.
He did suggest that while “barnstorming”, or carrying passengers for $100,000 or so, will take place soon, a mature space tourism industry won’t appear until vehicles are available that can carry passengers for $30,000-50,000, with a second generation that can lower the price to as little as $10,000.
Proponents of Rutan and space commercialization have noted, though, that in the decades since Lindbergh’s flight transatlantic aviation has gone from a stunt to essentially its antithesis: a mundane, routine crossing in a jumbo jet, an experience to be endured more than anything.

Wolfe himself dismissed it in some interview or other it on the grounds that he felt that he was pretty good at recognizing authors' styles and it didn't read like Lewis to him.
