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!

Librarian’s Note: Some pretty decent science fiction. A crew is bound for Epsilon Eridani for a scouting trip. The Go/No Go decision point is at Neptune. To help pass the time they have a virtual reality set-up, but there seems to be an issue with the software…
