- Next Cygnus launch on Antares scheduled for November 6th
The tweet includes a short video showing the launch’s visibility on the east coast.
- Yawn: ULA’s CEO Tory Bruno shows off Vulcan rocket
He also admits in the tweet that he is still an engine short from Blue Origin.
- Russia claims it will use robots on its future space station
More PowerPoint engineering from Russia. When they actually build this station I might believe stories like this.
- How Russia steals Ukraine grain
This is actually not a tweet but an article detailing exactly how Russia is attempting to hide the export of Ukrainian grain, stolen from occupied territories.
- Next manned mission, Shenzhou-15, headed to Tiangong-3 station in November
This flight will initiate the first time two manned capsules and two crews are on Tiangong-3, and will also initiate the first station crew rotation.
- Relativity expanding facilities at Stennis
By expanding its engine test capabilities at Stennis, the company can take advantage of that facility’s expertise in static fire tests.
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 print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
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
