	Semper Fly: Marines in Space - Popular Science
		A proposed suborbital space transport will put boots on the ground anywhere in the world in two hours or less.
		The proposal, part of the Corps’s push toward greater speed and flexibility, is called Small Unit Space Transport and Insertion, or Sustain.
		Insertion from space, Lafontant explains, makes it possible for the Marines—typically the first military branch called on for emergency missions—to avoid all the usual complications that can delay or end key missions.

	ANSARI X PRIZE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-09)
		One of the newest entrants to the ANSARI X PRIZE race, Space Transport Corporation was founded in August of 2002 by Eric Meier and Phillip Storm, former engineers for Aerojet.
		The community in the beautiful Forks area is founded on a pioneering spirit and STC is proud to be a part of a new generation of pioneers in the region.
		STC has launched several unmanned sounding rockets, one to a height of 150,000 feet, and has successfully tested the engines that will be used on its manned ANSARI X PRIZE vehicle, the Rubicon.

		Space Transport Corp. aiming for second test launch of Rubicon rocket during the weekend of Sept. 25-26
		By Alan Boyle: In the wake of last month’s spectacular blow-up, Space Transport Corp. is aiming for the second test launch of a Rubicon rocket from Washington state’s Olympic Peninsula during the weekend of Sept. 25-26, co-founder Philip Storm said today.
		Eventually, Space Transport wants to send a rocket to the 100-kilometer mark as part of its Ansari X Prize effort, but the timing for that launch is “up in the air,” Storm said.

	Outer Space Tourism Public Relations Purposes, Practices and Problems - Space - RedOrbit
		Edward L. Hudgins, one of the most esteemed individuals involved in outer space activity, concluded that "Space tourism indeed seems to be a potential 'killer application' that will offer opportunities and incentives to the private sector to develop low-cost access to space and places in orbit for private adventurers to go" (Space, 2002, xxi).
		It is to be expected that the commercial firms, potential outer space tourists, and their supporters would advocate accelerated development of these tourism projects, while opponents might argue for a slower, more cautious and deliberate incremental space tourism timetable.
		Again, space limits preclude a fuller analysis here, but we can note that outer space tourists must be frankly and fully notified of space risks in terms they can understand, in writing, and in a question-and-answer session.

		Transport protocols tell you what mode you are sending packets in.
		Note that the characteristics of space (intermittent connectivity, asymmetric links, long delay, multiple sources of data loss, and limited memory and CPU capacity) are like those of the tactical, mobile, and wireless environments.
		In space, packet loss can likewise come from congestion, but it can also be caused by the satellite going over the horizon or by ratty links.

	Space Land Claims Recognition
		The prospect of land acquisition in space would provide a major incentive for private corporations or consortia to invest, on their own accord, the billions needed to develop a reliable space transportation system and a permanent base on the Moon or other celestial body.
		Outer space, including the moon and other celestial bodies, is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means.
		The exploration and use of outer space, including the moon and other celestial bodies, shall be carried out for the benefit and in the interest of all countries...and shall be the province of all mankind...and there shall be free access to all areas of celestial bodies.

	Russian Space Corporation Chief Designer on ISS, Planned Rocket Developments - Space - RedOrbit
		The Energiya (Energia) Rocket and Space Corporation is planning to double the number of launches of Soyuz and Progress spacecraft by 2009, the chief designer of the corporation, Nikolay Sevastyanov, announced on 11 January at a news conference at the RIA-Novosti office.
		He added that in 2006 the European Space Agency adopted a decision to support Russia in introducing these technologies as well as in the future construction of a new Parom reusable space transport system.
		Our task is to ensure that manned space flights pay their way," he said and added that this task will be partly fulfilled by the launch of a multifunction laboratory module to the ISS in 2009, which is expected to have a payback period of 10 years.

	Rubicon 1 Space Rocket
		STC's Rubicon project is on target to break a tradition, the tradition of government-only human space flight.
		After a parachute recovery into the ocean, the engines could be cleaned and repacked for the next flight. The rocket vehicle would be almost completely reusable. Loaded and fuelled, it could weigh approximately 1800 kg and stand around 6 meters or 23 feet high.
		The mood is certainly upbeat in the local community and the worldwide community of space and science enthusiasts.
