The SpaceNews forum was always my “home” in regard to expressing my views on space exploration and colonization. Even though I was repeatedly banned, I always returned home. Now, along with the many other forums that have disappeared, it is gone. What is left is The Space Review…and in my view is not addressing the most important issues as often as it could and should.
Space Solar Power as the solution to Climate Change should be showcased with at least one article every week on The Space Review. I would be happy to try and provide that article but there are dozens of PhD’s involved in Space Solar Power research that would probably contribute.
Alien invasion movies, a museum, Taiwan satellites, etc., when the big issues are ignored. Those being nuclear propulsion (since chemicals are not taking humans anywhere Beyond Earth and Lunar Orbit), Human Space Flight (since the NewSpace profit motive is slowly but surely ending that), and Launch Vehicle technology (since the engines and vehicles are what take us into space) are what the articles should be about.
Sadly, the NewSpace “lobby” pushes a body of dogma where nothing except what the flagship company is doing or promotes is considered of any interest. Since that Ayn-Rand-in-space libertarian view has been regurgitated ad nauseum, we are left with nothing of interest.
