"It's the Geminid meteor shower," says NASA astronomer Bill Cooke of the
Marshall Space Flight Center. "Start watching on Thursday evening, Dec.
13th, around 10 pm local time," he advises. "At first you might not see
very many meteors�but be patient. The show really heats up after
midnight and by dawn on Friday, Dec. 14th, there could be dozens of
bright meteors per hour streaking across the sky."

On the Moon you won't see those streaks of light in the sky but they
might punch a hole in your pup tent. :-)

A blog will update the countdown beginning about six hours before
Atlantis is scheduled to lift off on Dec. 6 at 4:31 p.m. EST.
Originating from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, the blog is the
definitive Internet source for information leading up to launch.

During the 11-day mission, Atlantis' crew of seven astronauts will
deliver the European Space Agency's new Columbus laboratory, setting
the stage for expanded science capabilities on the orbiting outpost.
Visitors to NASA's shuttle Web site can read about the crew's
progress and watch the spacewalks live from the space station.

As Atlantis' flight wraps up, NASA will offer a blog detailing the
spacecraft's return to Earth.

Welcome to this week's issue of The Space Review:

Aerospaceplanes and space solar power
---
A key obstacle to space-based solar power is the low-cost access to
space needed to make any such project economically feasible.  Mike
Snead argues that the basic technology needed for such
"aerospaceplanes" exists today.
http://www.thespacereview.com/article/1016/1

The spooks and the Sputniks
---
For all the criticism of their missteps, the CIA did a good job of
analyzing the Soviet space program during the Cold War.  Dwayne Day
examines one historical document that provides an overview of how the
agency viewed the Soviet space efforts a decade after the launch of
Sputnik.
http://www.thespacereview.com/article/1015/1

China and India want to play
---
Some recent reports have suggested that China and India are looking
for ways to cooperate with the US and other nations in human
spaceflight, including the ISS.  Eric Hedman explores the ways such
cooperation, despite various political pitfalls, could be beneficial
for all involved.
http://www.thespacereview.com/article/1014/1

Robert Goddard and the "colonial cringe"
---
When Robert Goddard proposed some of his rocketry concepts, he was
derided by many of his fellow Americans.  Taylor Dinerman writes how
this reaction was typical of an era when many Americans deemed their
own art and science inferior to Europe.
http://www.thespacereview.com/article/1013/1

How to beat the ban of humans on Mars
---
Congress is considering an appropriations bill for NASA that, in one
form, includes a prohibition on work related to the human exploration
of Mars.  Michael Huang suggests some ways around that measure should
it become law.
http://www.thespacereview.com/article/1012/1

Review: Space Is the Place
---
The concept of "space art" to many is limited to illustrations of
distant planets and galaxies.  Jeff Foust reviews an exhibition of
alternative space art that goes in very different -- if not bizarre
-- directions.
