Destination Deimos (part 1)
---
Sending humans to Mars is at the limits of what is feasible in space exploration given current technical capabilities and the various challenges such missions face. James S. Logan and Daniel R. Adamo, in the first of a two-part article, make the argument that going not to Mars itself but instead one of its moons is a more viable approach.

Last month, officials in New Mexico were optimistic that the long wait for Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo flights at the state's custom-built commercial spaceport might be nearing an end. As Jeff Foust reports, Friday's accident puts those plans, and the future of Spaceport America itself, on hold.
