No Shortage of Dreams — "NASA's Planetary Joint Action Group Piloted Mars Flyby Study (1966)" https://t.co/XE4bDdbEmB
A major NASA piloted Mars exploration effort in the 1960s — the only one that truly alarmed Congress — yet almost forgotten. #space #history #spacehistory #Mars
@TheSpaceshipper @FredKiesche It's a great ship — it was prescient, too — Moon and Mars landers in serious piloted mission plans have often trended toward rectangular horizontal designs since the 1990s.
No Shortage of Dreams — "Could the Space Voyages in the Film and Novel '2001: A Space Odyssey' Really Happen? (Part 1)" https://t.co/qQYYx2iodw
A series of posts looking at real studies which sought to define missions similar to those portrayed in the film and novel "2001."

No Shortage of Dreams — "Reusable One-stage Orbital Space Truck (1962)" https://t.co/8POwhog2SC
One of my Patreon patrons suggested I modify the "painting key" illustration labels to make them more readable, so of course I did. Enjoy! #space #history #spacehistory
No Shortage of Dreams — "Reusable One-stage Orbital Space Truck (ROOST) (1962)" https://t.co/ZHI42KT18o All done and gobs of fun. On to the next one. #space #history #spacehistory
No Shortage of Dreams — so I got the ROOST booster ready for reentry but then ran out of steam. Tomorrow it'll be reentry, recovery, cost analysis, images and captions, a bit of touch up, and then — new post! https://t.co/LVBU2gXZsU
@TheSpaceshipper Discovery has been my wallpaper for years. I like its reveal better than any other spaceship's. The other three aren't in the same transcendent class for me (though I like 'em).
