Space has – month-by-month – kept you up to date on the latest in space science and space exploration. This month, and on top of your favourite features, Q&As, observing challenges and competitions, we've had a reunion: past and present staff reveal the very best bits of working on the magazine, providing a behindthe-scenes look and their favourite moments of all time.

Before I sign off, I wanted to thank you for being such an important part of the All About Space community – whether you've been with us since issue 1 or have only just joined us, we wouldn't exist without your loyalty to the brand.
