Evaluating Investment in Space Programs: A Case for Theoretical Pluralism
Financial Accountability &Management, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 19-35, February 2026.ABSTRACT A perennial question repeatedly asked since the early Mercury (USA) and Salyut (then Soviet Union) space programs has been variations on the theme of “how can the cost of space exploration be justified?” This question—which in broad terms constitutes the research question considered in this paper—continues to be directed toward space agencies ...

Characterizing Martian Primary Crustal Compositions With Gamma Ray Spectroscopy
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.Abstract Mars's global‐scale chemical maps of the midlatitudes, derived from Mars Odyssey gamma and neutron spectroscopy, have constrained martian geology across a multitude of processes. However, the chemical maps are often used to analyze pre‐defined regions based on mapped geology and/or mineralogy.
