Two brief comments: 1) The law professor behind the widely successful web blog instapundit.com (Glenn Reynolds) has discussed a) "Space Monopolization" http://www.msnbc.com/news/856672.asp b) "private space travel" http://www.economist.com/science/displayStory.cfm?story_id12015 c)and space colonization including space solar power! http://techcentralstation.com/1051/defensewrapper.jsp?PID51-350&CID51-052803B In this age of stiffing Space Solar Power whenever energy or space policy are discussed, this is a welcome development! 2) In his research update on the SSI website, Dr. Lee Valentine writes "SSI has had many accomplishments in its 25 year existence including the discovery of the large population of near earth asteroids and the prediction of asteroids, recently discovered, in halo orbits about the Trojan points of the Earth sun system." Can someone be kind enough to direct me to a report of this discovery either in the general or in the scientific press? Thanks, Sam
