Librarian’s Note: A little something I put together to help explain how the first Earth-Moon Lagrange point is useful for future space activities. As I’ve been unable to post at The Space Review, I responded to the comments here

Librarian’s Note: Another space station themed comic (after Station in 2008), in this one a new module arrives at the station, one that the crew is not allowed to know anything about, and the new staff isn’t talking. A new series for 2011.

Librarian’s Note: This month’s issue was so good I had to post it in the Lunar Library. Excellent content on the waypoints between here and destination Moon; fresh space suit concepts; how the Lunar everdark craters can prep us for expeditions to the outer Solar system; an overview of EML-1; and guidelines for projects. For Moon Society members only, so if you’re not a member do yourself a favor and join today!

Librarian’s Note: One of the trade journals I get at work (since I used to be involved in aircraft finance), this article focuses primarily on Virgin Galactic, and keeps its eye on the finance side of things. It explores the various potential markets and provides a spectrum of opinions, not necessarily cheerleading Virgin, but not pasztorizing them either. Worth a view if you’re a VG fan or want to participate in the Space Ambassadors program.

Librarian’s Note: A Region 0 (all zones) DVD I picked up during my visit to the 14th ISU Symposium, this is an absolutely brilliant educational overview of the Earth’s place in space over the course of a year. Excellent computer graphics allow for an easier understanding of any number of astronomical concepts, from calendars to the Moon’s motion in the sky. There is an English soundtrack, so I highly, highly recommend this DVD for educators. Absolutely top notch!
