I came upon an interesting new magazine in the drugstore the other day:
"Commercial Space - the Magazine of Business in Space".  It's put out 
quarterly by McGraw-Hill, and this is already Volume 2, Number 2.
It had a Special Introductory Newstand Price of $2.95, so it looks 
like they're going to promote it.  It's full of advertising from 
various aerospace firms, and has articles on:

- Japan's space program
- Promoting cooperation with the Russians on a Mars project
- Finding new fishing grounds with satellites
- Joint efforts between 3M and NASA
- An MIT teleoperator project
- Where to find info on space research
- Globesat's efforts to build small, standard satellites

as well as many others.

I find it all very encouraging.  These are not blue-sky, 
let's-get-pig-iron-from-the-asteroids type projects, but things of 
economic value TODAY.  There is a lot happening in this field, and a 
lot more can be done without mythical advances in technology.  I 
intend to subscribe.

PS The subscription address is:

Commercial Space
PO Box 1523
Neptune, NJ 07754-1523            (appropriate!)

They want $24.95 for one year, and also want a title, company, and 
nature of job for the sake of their advertisers.
