Unlike the other articles here, this one is on a rather personal note. I finished reading my copy of Kings of the High Frontier for the second time on Wednesday of last week. I make it a point to read that book and Atlas Shrugged at least once a year. Its my strong opinion that anyone who even attempts to discuss private space should read Kings at least once. Suffice it to say, when I finally tuned in on Saturday morning I was struck dumb. Yes I was just as devastated as anyone else about the loss of life and hardware. But I was also struck by the new, almost painful, relevance of that book. If you haven't read it then do so. Now. It appears that I'm not the only who has had that book on their mind lately: Samizdata:Kings of the High Frontier: a great book suffers undeserved obscurity Survival Arts: Kings of the High Frontier, by Victor Koman.
