The competition heats up: On Monday Boeing unveiled a full mockup of its CST-100 manned capsule.
In September NASA will select one or two companies to build manned spacecraft to ferry humans to and from ISS, which explains the recent spate of press shows by these companies each pushing their spacecraft design.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

I like the text “Max 7 person capacity” in red above the entrence. In case they forget and try to fit 8 or more astronauts in it, they will see that text and avoid committing the mistake. The level of quality control and safety procedures is really impressive…
I tend to think that the sign was intended for the reporters at the event.
While its docked the sign would be on the outside of the craft anf this not visible to anyone boarding it from the docking hatch.
I am not really impressed with it though.
