The name Spaceship Summer comes from several sources. It's in honor of the first manned civilian spaceflight on the first day of summer 2004, as well as the classic science fiction short story 'Rocket Summer' by Ray Bradbury. It's also an allusion to the eternal sunshine of outer space.

As this weblog leans more towards analysis than news, there may or may not be daily updates and changes, I will however keep the non-space material to a minimum.
