National Space Society Leaders Have Their Say

NSS Senior Vice President and Senior Operating Officer Bruce Pittman was featured on The Space Show on October 13, speaking for 90 minutes on the emerging commercial space industry and related topics. You can listen to the program here.

NSS Board of Directors member John Strickland had an article published in The Space Review, also on October 13: The Incredible, Expendable Mars Mission. Five years ago, NASA published its latest detailed architecture for human missions to Mars. Strickland’s article explores that architecture and discusses several ways it could be improved to make it more robust and less expensive.
