muff528 3 #1 April 29, 2011 No launch today so here are some things to look at that might be interesting. I got these at an estate sale a few years ago and just ran across them. Maybe some of the space workers and rocket scientists here will recognize some of these. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

champu 1 #9 April 30, 2011 QuoteHow many people remember Skylab? Or the Apollo-Soyuz project? Or Salyut...? Apollo (specifically the lunar missions), Mir, and the shuttle are, I think, the best known manned missions. People have largely forgotten about other historical missions and the ISS has had relatively few hitches to call lots of attention to it. Hubble and the Mars probes / landers are probably the best known unmanned missions. Voyagers (that are still ticking), Chandra, MESSENGER, the EOS birds, et al. just aren't as sexy in the public's eye. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
