Brazilian Orchestra medley
After being in print for twenty years, the Chronological Encyclopedia of Discoveries in Space, covering everything that was learned on every single space mission in the 20th century, has finally gone out of print.
I presently have my last four hardback copies available for sale. The book sold new for about $90. To get your own autographed copy of this now rare collector's item, please send a $120 check (which includes shipping) payable to Robert Zimmerman to

"Useful to space buffs and generalists, comprehensive but readable, Bob Zimmerman's Encyclopedia belongs front and center on everyone's bookshelf." -- Mike Collins, Apollo 11 astronaut
"The Chronological Encylopedia of Discoveries in Space is no passionless compendium of information. Robert Zimmerman's fact-filled reports, which cover virtually every spacecraft or probe to have ventured into the heavens, relate the scientific and technical adventure of space exploration enthusiastically and with authority." -- American Scientist
An evening pause: This appears to be a youth orchestra, but unfortunately everything on the webpage is in Portuguese, so I’m not sure.
Hat tip David Nudelman.
Thanks Bob,
This is a youth orchestra based in one of most violent neighborhoods in the city of Recife, in the Northeast state of Pernambuco. This non-profit social organizations aims to help lift at risk children out of their environment of gangs and drugs. They attend a special school 5 hours per day. The organization has over 380 students. In this clip they are playing two bossa nova and samba classics at a reception for the Heads of State attending the BRICS conference (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) in Brasilia, the capitol of Brazil. Their youtube channel shows concerts around the world to this organization of mostly middle and working class youth.
I wish there was an edit function for comments!
