Port Townsend, WA: Loompanics Unlimited, 1994. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. [6], 144, [8] pages. Illustrations (some with color). Notes. Index. Cover has slight wear and soiling. The author argues that the way to encourage the exploration of space is to privatize it, and profiles some of the profit-seeking companies that are already active. Nearly a quarter century ago he forecast that the next round in the space race won't be run by NASA. This time, it will be private companies building space stations and shooting payloads to the planets. Science fiction, you say? Take another look. Free Space! opens with an explosive critique of NASA p; the government behemoth that put a man on the Moon and has been grounded ever since. Listen in as the author grills the head of NASA at a press conference. Howerton then poignantly pens a new Manifest Destiny for colonizing outer space. The second half of Free Space! contains capsule descriptions of ten companies that are preparing for space travel today. Run by NASA/aerospace alumni, they have the know-how and the money to make it real. Find out how they'll open the heavens to commercial travel in the coming decade. B. Alexander Howerton is the editor of Space Available, the newsletter for investors in space -related stocks. He interviewed all of the principal players in these companies. Free Space! contains private communications, rare illustrations and photos not available anywhere else. More

Outside our Galaxy lies the rest of the universe, populated with multitudes of galaxies and other strange denizens; this is the arena with which the young field of extragalactic astronomy concerns itself. This single-topic brochure is for high school teachers of "physical science." Using it, they may introduce their students to a vital area of modern astronomy. Our goal is to provide a sense of "what has been found out there" by extragalactic astronomers. The material is presented in three parts. Section II provides the fundamental content of extragalactic astronomy. In Section III, modern discoveries are delineated in greater detail, while Section IV summarizes the earlier discussions within the structure of the Big-Bang Theory of evolution. Each of the three sections is followed by Student Exercises (activities, laboratory projects, and questions-and-answers). More
