Re: Ad Astra

Yes, it's a fine magazine, very enjoyable!
I became member of the NSS in 1990, through a suggestion by Joel K Harris who'm I wrote to to find out about trips at the KSC (he organizes eclipse cruises). Once member, I also ordered all the previous magazines until juli 1989. All the issues are here, in front of the bed.
It's just that, living across the pond and having the magazines shipped rather than air-mailed...well, many articles are outdated before they are read. The internet is part of the "problem", if it can be called that way. Well, at least there are articles that are not that much news oriented.
I also used to get a magazine called Space Flight News (SFN) which was full of interesting articles and pictures and then, one day, in 1991, it just stopped being issued. It went broke. I was mad at Nigel McNight for never having reimbursed the money lost , while, at the same time, intreviewing astronauts like Tammy Jernigan.
