My blog is called No Shortage of Dreams. It's all about plans we've made these past 70 years for exploring other worlds. Most remain viable candidates in whole or in part; even those that aren't can teach us much about space policy & planetary science. https://t.co/LVBU2gXZsU
If you're not into piloted spaceflight only in cislunar space, however, a modest upgrade of AAP-type tech can give you Mars and Venus with sample return: https://t.co/5oSv8GuVV2
Given the direction the US piloted space program is taking today, the Apollo Applications Program is easily the most relevant of the past planned US space programs. https://t.co/cTcH3DFPtG
Apollo Applications Program - I could see current US spacecraft aspiring to accomplish some of these missions. https://t.co/1cEUIb6xda
One last new folder to tie off the night (I like this one) - "Commentary - Use of LC-39 for the Launching of Apollo Saturn IBs in the Apollo Applications Program," G. Craft, Bellcomm, March 1969. Cheers, friends.
Lookie what I got today! It's a @jdiannedotson original of the C-57D from FORBIDDEN PLANET. I love the big close-packed stars. Open cluster? I included @AlwaysaGoodday1 's interior drawing for reference.
Remember that new NASA book, AFTER LM? Word is it should have been on NTRS today. I haven't seen it there yet - neither had the main author as of about noon - but y'all might want to keep your eyes peeled if you're interested in the history of lunar lander concepts since Apollo.
My blog, name of DSFP's SPACEFLIGHT HISTORY, is crammed full of good stuff, and it's made possible by my wonderful Patreon patrons. This thread is made up of links to randomly selected nifty posts. 1/
