Stop me if you’ve heard this one before… A Russian company which plans to build the world’s first space hotel has released further details on its ambitious project. The plan, which would see a hotel placed into orbit some 350 kilometers above the earth, was first unveiled last year by Russian firm Orbital Technologies as […] DARPA will be launching a test flight of the Falcon HTV-2 hypersonic vehicle: If all goes to plan, engineers will launch the Falcon HTV-2 to the edge of space, before detaching the plane and guiding it on a hypersonic flight that will reach speeds of 13,000mph (about 20 times the speed of sound) on its […] “In the Shadow of Ares” (formerly known around here as “Labyrinth of Night”) is now available for download at Amazon.com: In 2029, the third exploration mission to Mars vanishes without a trace.

I don’t know that he didn’t, or didn’t offer to do so (the article doesn’t say), but it seems […] Rand links to this interesting post at Cato Unbound on colonizing space and the “future of freedom”: The critical question then becomes one of means, of how to escape not via politics but beyond it.
