Space.com is an online publication focused on space exploration, astronomy, skywatching and entertainment, with editorial teams based in the United States and United Kingdom. Launched on July 20, 1999,[3] the website offers live coverage of space missions, astronomical discoveries and reviews about skywatching telescopes, binoculars and sci-fi entertainment gear.

It is owned by Future plc headquartered in Bath City, England.[3] Its stories are often syndicated to other media outlets, including CNN, MSNBC, Yahoo!, and USA Today.

History

Space.com was founded on July 20, 1999, on the 30th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing, by former CNN anchor Lou Dobbs and Rich Zahradnik in New York City. Dobbs was CEO and Zahradnik the company's first president. Former astronauts Neil Armstrong and Sally Ride sat on the board of directors.[4] PaineWebber, Venrock Associates, and SpaceVest were early investors.[5] At that time, Dobbs owned a sizeable share of the company, and, in an unexpected move, left CNN later that year to become Space.com's chief executive officer.[6]

The company struggled to turn a profit in its early days and when the dot-com bubble burst in 2000, many felt that it would collapse. Co-founder Rich Zahradnik left his position as president less than two months after the start of the company, former astronaut Sally Ride took his place but then stepped down in September 2000.[7] Despite some growth, Space.com was not able to achieve what Dobbs had hoped. On May 14, 2001, he returned to CNN.[8]

After Dobbs exited, the company's backers continued to invest capital.[5] As it expanded, Space.com acquired Explorezone.com in November 1999[9] and Starport.com in June 2000.[10] In October, Space.com also acquired SpaceNews, spacenews.com, and Florida Today’s Space Online websites from Gannett for an equity stake in the company.[11] It acquired Sienna Software, the company that produced the Starry Night software.[5]

In 2003, Space.com received the Online Journalism Award for Breaking News for its coverage of the Columbia shuttle disaster.[4][12]

In May 2004, Space.com's parent company changed its name from Space Holdings to Imaginova.[13] In November of that year, Imaginova launched Live Science to branch out from its space coverage.[14] It also acquired Orion Telescopes in February 2005[15] and comic book news site Newsarama in October 2007.[16] In 2008, Imaginova sold Starry Night to Simulation Curriculum.[17]

In 2009, Imaginova sold Space.com, Live Science, and Newsarama to TopTenReviews.com, which then reorganized into TechMedia Network, following the purchase.[18][19] Space.com was recognized as a Webby Award honoree in 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2014.[4][20] The company changed its name to Purch in April 2014.[21]

In 2018, Space.com—along with other Purch consumer brands—were sold to Future plc.[22] Under Future, Space.com has expanded its news and reviews team across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. It has also grown its telescope, binoculars, and astrophotography reviews and deals coverage, as well as added sci-fi gaming and streaming coverage.[4]
