There are interesting maps and Corona photos of the arrangements of the
first (1961) Soviet ballistic missile intercept at Saryshagan in
Gruntman's "Blazing the Trail." Are there any accounts published with
technical details and photos?  Vik

Does anyone else who attended grade school in the mid '60s remember
this from the 1966 World Book Encyclopedia?

This is from the "Space Travel" article. The article is credited to

Thirty-seven years ago today (January 22, 1968) LM-1 (Lunar Module 1)
was launched unmanned on Saturn IB AS-204 (Apollo 1's unused launch
vehicle) from LC-37B at Kennedy Space Center. The mission was called
Apollo 5.

    I noticed while cleaning that I had a copy of _The Right Stuff_
which I had never seen.
    Pocket Review: should have picked a focus, guys. It wasn't
_bad_, as such, but it wandered.

I've added info on a strange little Lockheed project from '67 that
combiend a flluorine/hydrogen three-stage truck-launched space booster
with an inflatable spacecraft. Enjoy.
It's in the "Spacecraft" section, unsurprisingly.

So...how long do you think it will take the HAARP/Columbia loss crowd to
jump on this little news item?:

I think space-flight is stupid, too dangerous and too slow.
We should use long-range teleporter units instead !!!

I have added an article "The F-15 ASAT story" to my web site.

Are there future probes to Jupiter, Saturn, and the other outer
planets in the works?  It takes so long to get to those planets, that
you can't wait for the results of one flight to start on the next.

Good article on MRO in Space.com today. Just wondering if  MRO would be able
to spot the "remains" of MPL once it gets down to taking it's hi-res
pictures ??

previously undiscussed;
At T-0, when the camera 'flies' down the side of the booster showing
the flight arms retracting; cryogenic condensation is shown flowing
