A diversity of perspectives is always important, including in science. We want to give readers the opportunity to explore current and impactful phenomena in depth through multiple angles. In the first installment of this new Features section, we present two deep-dive articles into commercial space programs from different approaches. One article compares the programs across the current forerunners of the commercial space companies and their achievements, while the other article focuses on one pioneer of the field, SpaceX, and its history. We hope you’ll enjoy this deep dive and look forward to a future among the stars.
