The Observer Column

The Observer column by SpaceQ provides commentary on a variety of topics within the space exploration community on a regular basis. While The Observer is primarily penned by Editor-in-Chief Marc Boucher, occasionally we’ll have a guest columnist write their observations of a particular topic. Topics covered in The Observer column run the gamut from space policy, commercial space trends, space missions and so much more.
