In reporting about who controls access to a culture's sources of information, and the power held by the individuals who decide what gets/doesn't get reported to the public, how do you decide what to include in your articles? I feel like it must be an almost impossible task to separate yourself as a 'media person' from the stories you're writing about - does it ever feel weirdly recursive?

You've addressed what feels like the most important issue to me: that the more sources of information we all have access to, the better it is for everyone. Credibility is key, too: how do you decide WHICH source to go with in the end?

Do you see many different types of spacesuits being developed depending on which planet/planet's atmosphere the astronaut would be visiting?
