Space Future has been on something of a hiatus of late. With the concept of Space Tourism steadily increasing in acceptance, and the advances of commercial space, much of our purpose could be said to be achieved. But this industry is still nascent, and there's much to do. So...watch this space.

Amateur rocket group goes to space
The Civilian Space Exploration team, an amateur group of rocket enthusiasts, built a rocket that reached the edges of space on May 17, 2004. The GoFast did not carry passengers, yet this speaks well for space tourism: if a group of amateurs can send an unpiloted rocket into space, how hard can suborbital tourism be? Combined with the latest SS1 flight, how can anyone say space travel and tourism isn't possible?

Problems emerge
SpaceShipOne flew its third glide test last week. Unfortunately it encountered major stability problems that almost led to a crash. According to an article in The Space Review, "[Pilot Mike] Melvill struggled to pitch the nose down to get out of the stall, and in the process the vehicle started to roll."
