Traditionally, ScienceDirect and Elsevier offer free online access for one year to that year's first issue of a given journal. In this instance: Space Policy, Volume 23, Issue 1, Pages 1-68 (February 2007).

Shocking and frankly disgusting results from an excellent paper looking at school children here in the UK...

"When asked to list space exploration organisations 77% listed NASA. Six of those surveyed listed ESA (o0.5%). The
data bring starkly to light, despite the Huygens landing on Titan and Mars Express, the lack of awareness of the existence of ESA among
a new generation of European school children."


of the 200 kids asked to name an organisation that does Space Research - 6 said ESA, 5 said Area 51 and around 170 said NASA.

69/200 said Mars is hot.

This is why I moan about ESA outreach.
