Holiday shopping for a space fan? "Eight Years to the Moon" has stories you won't find anywhere else from those who worked behind the scenes to send humans to the Moon. Want an autographed copy? Let me know. Also at the big sellers, or ask your fav bookstore to order it for you!

Ok, spacey folk who are on here and The Other Place - do you recommend it? I genuinely can't stomach supporting EM much longer. Is it an easy switch, or a faff-about like setting up a new laptop? Would my Mars images/content even be welcomed over there?

Just realized I captured Venus, below and to the right of the Sun. Jupiter was also visible to the left and above, but not seen here.

This is the best my phone could do, but seeing it live was indescribable! We're in a neighborhood and not a lot of people are really close to us but you could hear everyone gasp and cheer in the whole town when the Moon clicked into place! Stunning! #Eclipse2024

So sad to hear of the passing of Tom Stafford today. Part of the world's first rendezvous in space on Gemini VI-A, Command Pilot of Gemini IX-A, flew to the Moon as Commander of Apollo 10, and later commanded the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. Here he is, in his prime on Gemini IX-A:
