- Short video of Buran being airlifted to Baikonur for its launch in 1988
It is amazing how authoritarian societies so rarely come up with original ideas. Buran and the Energia rocket that launched it definitely included some improvements over the space shuttle, but they were still copies, nonetheless.
- Short video showing the retrieval of one of SpaceX’s fast boats, used during Dragon crew splashdown
Simple, efficient, and quick.
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

Curious about SpaceX’ boat names: we know what happened to Goose.
The names of the fast boats, Maverick and Goose, are familiar to Top Gun fans, but the support ships, Bob and Doug, are named after NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley, who flew SpaceX’s Demo-2 crewed orbital flight test, the company’s first manned spacecraft.
Edward,
I did not know that. I originally thought the vessels were named after Bob and Doug McKenzie from “Strange Brew”.
I always loved Buran
