Open Space: Wired’s New Portal to the Commercial Space Race
By Betsy Mason Email Author May 1, 2012 | 2:41 pm | Categories: Space

The future of space travel, exploration and exploitation looks very different from the past. The new space race has a far more diverse list of entrants, with the number of new commercial companies swamping government agencies like NASA and giants like Lockheed Martin.

SpaceX is certainly the best known of these new projects, but the cast is big and growing rapidly. To help you make sense of this modern spacescape, Wired Science has launched a new portal called Open Space that will consolidate commercial and private space coverage from around Wired.com as well as the best from around the web.
