An interesting article on "cheap shots" (private, lower-cost
low-earth-orbit launches) appears in the Summer 1985 issue of
"Far Frontiers" (a paperback-format "magazine";  edited by
Jerry Pournell and Jim Baen; published by Baen Books).
The 14-page article, written by G. Harry Stine, mentions the
efforts of Truax, Gary Hudson, Eagle Engineering, SSI, and other
individuals and companies.  The information is not presented in
great depth, but gives a useful overview of the new private-sector
"space race".
