The NASA Space Store

Aviation and Space News provides to the aviation and space enthusiasts frequently updated aerospace news. These news posts are updated daily. If there is significant aviation and space news, you will see it here.

Here you also find our book store and chat room about aviation and space. Our book store provides a large selection of books about space, aviation, and aerospace. Our chat room is also designed for the aviation and space enthusiast and allows for an unlimited number of users. All we ask is that the chat room conversations stay within the realm of aviation and space.

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 and 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 news related to space, 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 gearing up and currently are competing for customers. It appears now that space tourism is moving away from the domain of science fiction and is in the process of becoming real science.

The “Golden Age of Aviation” was the two decades between the great world wars. This was the time of the roaring 1920’s and the fabulous 1930’s. I believe we are at the gates of 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 and aviation enthusiast. During Space Shuttle lift-offs and other significant events such as space walks and space station activity, I highly recommend NASA Television. The Yahoo link on this NASA TV page seems to produce the best quality. This is NASA TV via your Internet connection.

The following is some interesting videos followed by the most current aviation and space news. Book mark this page and come back frequently to read about current aviation and space events, activity, and anything that has to do with aerospace..
