Commentary by Thomas Sullivan



Aviation and Space News provides to the aviation and space enthusiasts frequently updated aerospace news. These news posts are updated at least once per day and if needed, twice per day. If there is significant aviation and space news, you will see it here.

Headlines are selected from a large aggregate of RSS feeds. Here you find an amalgamation of the most compelling aviation and space headlines. It should be noted that here you will find aviation/space news from around the world as well as from the United States.

A balance between aviation and space stories will be presented. Depending on the news for that day, some days will be more slanted toward space news, and other days more aviation news will be presented.

We are in an exciting time in terms of aerospace technological development. Space tourism companies are currently competing for customers, and it is actually happening now and it is no longer the domain of science fiction.

The “Golden Age of Aviation” was the two decades between the great world wars, the roaring 1920’s and the fabulous 1930’s. I believe we are now entering the golden age of space exploration. Aviation and space enthusiasts need a way to keep up with this rapidly developing area. Hence the need for this news journal.

As space exploration technology develops, Aviation and Space News will be at the forefront in terms of bringing exciting news to the space/aviation enthusiast. During Space Shuttle lift-offs and other significant events such as space walks and space station activity, I highly recommend the following link NASA Television. The Yahoo link on this NASA TV page seems to produce the best quality. This is NASA TV via your Internet connection.
