- 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.
Now available in hardback and paperback as well as ebook!
From the press release: In this ground-breaking new history of early America, historian Robert Zimmerman not only exposes the lie behind The New York Times 1619 Project that falsely claims slavery is central to the history of the United States, he also provides profound lessons about the nature of human societies, lessons important for Americans today as well as for all future settlers on Mars and elsewhere in space.
Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space, is a riveting page-turning story that documents how slavery slowly became pervasive in the southern British colonies of North America, colonies founded by a people and culture that not only did not allow slavery but in every way were hostile to the practice.
Conscious Choice does more however. In telling the tragic history of the Virginia colony and the rise of slavery there, Zimmerman lays out the proper path for creating healthy societies in places like the Moon and Mars.
“Zimmerman’s ground-breaking history provides every future generation the basic framework for establishing new societies on other worlds. We would be wise to heed what he says.” —Robert Zubrin, founder of founder of the Mars Society.
All editions are available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and all book vendors, with the ebook priced at $5.99 before discount. The ebook can also be purchased direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit, in which case you don't support the big tech companies and I get a bigger cut much sooner.
Autographed printed copies are also available at discount directly from me (hardback $24.95; paperback $14.95; Shipping cost for either: $5.00). Just email me at zimmerman @ nasw dot org.

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
