Issue 36- Space: The Final Frontier
The First Space. Colonists have already been born! Find out how they’ll live, work and play - and how humanity will change forever - in a 26-page special in COSMOS magazine. Also in Australia's #1 science magazine: meet the genetically modified animals producing pharmaceuticals in their milk; and discover how geneticist Craig Venter plans to become the new Henry Ford of drug development using viruses and bacteria. We’ll take you on a journey to the ancient outback where life started getting weird 500 million years ago; get to know the man behind the celebrity scientist David Suzuki; plus we take a tour of the biggest science experiments in the world.

Issue 34- Sleep
Why do you spend a third of your life asleep? In a 17-page special report, COSMOS tackles this ever-present question. How much sleep do you really need? What happens when you don’t get enough? And why do you dream? Also in this issue, discover where Australia’s vaccination rates are dropping dangerously low; meet the man leading a revolution in archaeology; find out why the neutrino is a leading contender for dark matter; and see the lasers of the future capturing atoms and detecting ripples in space-time. PLUS, this issue of COSMOS has a science-fiction double AND an 11-page guide to the university open days happening around the country

Issue 33 - 2030
What will the world be like in 2030? Leading thinkers - including Jeffrey Sachs, Sir David King and Alan Trounson - forecast the next 20 years of medicine, energy, transport, cities, food, and communications. From driverless cars to regenerative organs, the world of the next 20 years may look very different from today. Also in this issue: a revealing look at lost civilisations - from Atlantis to the Amazon; why astronomers now think frigid, far-away Pluto may have oceans; and the reason to worry about swine flu, which may still turn into a deadly killer. Plus much, much more!

Issue 32 - IS ANYONE LISTENING?
In a 50th anniversary special report, COSMOS tackles SETI: the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Pioneer Frank Drake explains why he believes the galaxy is teeming with life, astrophysicist Paul Davies looks for evidence of bizarre life on Earth, and Jon Lomberg finds the common ground for communication. You’ll also meet Jill Tarter – the inspiration for Jodie Foster’s character in Contact – and discover what evolution might spawn on other worlds. Plus, uncover what secrets scientists have finally unravelled about the Sphinx; why Kakadu may be sinking; and the truth about vitamins: are they good for you – or are some doing more harm?

Issue 31 - DINOSAUR SPECIAL
Did Velociraptor and Tyrannosaurus rex really die out? Or are they in every chicken drumstick today? In our 28-page Dinosaur Special, learn how dinosaurs were more like birds than ever imagined, meet the beasts that once roamed polar Australia, and find out why cloning prehistoric predators would be the easy part of creating Jurassic Park.

Issue 35- Did Aborigines discover America?
Were the ancestors of Australian Aborigines the first to reach South America? In issue 35, COSMOS explores the startling archaeological evidence that’s shifting researchers' understanding of human evolution. Plus we find out how climate change could lead to an increase in earthquakes and eruptions and join astronomers at the South Pole as they try to unravel the mystery of dark energy. We also investigate the radical new AIDS cures that could potentially eliminate the virus for good, look at whether geoengineering would actually work, and discover why all fish are slowly suffocating in a world where the need for oxygen rules all.
