Space Access summary article

I wrote a lengthy summary article about the just-completed Space Access ’06 conference in Phoenix for The Space Review. It covers many of the topics discussed in my writeups here in more detail. The theme that emerged from the conference was one of incremental progress for the entrepreneurial space transportation field: no one seems to be making revolutionary advances or achieving major milestones in recent months, but instead just gradual advances. That’s not a bad thing: steady improvement is arguably better than the wild gyrations that the industry has experienced in the recent past.
