Reply to What educational books about space should be read for a general idea of it? by happy__teo
Most people are giving great recommendations for general astrophysics/cosmology books, so I’ll go a different direction with space exploration history /engineering.
The book “Failure is Not an Option” by Gene Kranz is an autobiography from a NASA flight director who was in Mission Control for Apollo 11 and 13 and documents NASA history from Mercury to Apollo. It does get very technical and nitty gritty but it’s a great read and lets your realize just how complex space exploration is.

You’d think that the fart trail would most likely be found near Uranus, but there you go.

Documentaries aren't what they used to. Now everything is water washed, everything is made to shock you, not inform or teach you.

The Universe in a Nutshell and A Short History of Nearly Everything will get you started with concepts and context.

Did China grow a few things back in 2019 on the moon? I cant remember if it was successful or not.

The Big Bang: the origin of the universe by Simon Singh is describes the development of cosmology leading to the Big Bang Theory. It is thick, but well-written. It is a good, popular orientation to the cosmological aspect of space.

I had to read sections of his book Truth Lies and Orings in my professional ethics class. It’s amazing how the man was right, did everything he could to stop the accident, then still got demoted and punished.
He won in the end but you have to wonder if 9 times out of 10 PR departments would have hung him out to dry

‘A brief history of time’ and ‘Astrophysics for people in a hurry’ are a good starter pack.

Try Neil deGrasse Tyson’s “Astrophysics for people in a hurry” it’s a 4 hour listen and it’s read by him.

We are planning to drive down from Washington to Texas. I’m sad that Texas changed their 15 month res to six months. It’s going to be a mad house. I was trying to find out about getting a group of people together cause if you get 10 or more spots at the parks, you can get reservations 10 months out.

I don't know how great of an idea is to live on houses made by architects high on shrooms in Earth, let alone the Moon or Mars.

Reply to In 1971, three cosmonauts Dobrovolski, Volkov, and Patsayev passed away due to a valve malfunction in the Soyuz 11 capsule. They remain the only people who have passed away above the Kármán Line - the defining line of space. by sciencekenyon
Interesting language. They died though, passing away is a bit off as far as language goes.
