THE NASA ARCHIVES 1958-2018
Special Order! By Andrew Chaikin. Journey through the U.S. space program's fascinating pictorial history. On October 1, 1958, the world's first civilian space agency opened for business as an emergency response to the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik a year earlier. Within a decade, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, universally known as NASA, had evolved from modest research teams experimenting with small converted rockets into one of the greatest technological and managerial enterprises ever known, capable of sending men to the moon aboard gigantic rockets and of dispatching robot explorers to Venus, Mars, and worlds far beyond. In spite of occasional, tragic setbacks in NASA's story, the Apollo moon project remains a byword for American ingenuity; its winged space shuttles spearheaded the International Space Station and its dazzling array of astronomical satellites, robotic landers, and earth sciences programs have transformed our understanding of the cosmos, and our home world's fragile place within it.

News and Notes

I am on vacation this week and next, so I have not been able to see, review and edit the new items above. I put together this email from Connecticut. I’ll catch up with these when I get back, adding more details and my personal recommendations.

I’ve been shopping for Golden Age and Silver Age comics for my collection from several of my favorite dealers: Richard Evans at Bedrock City in Houston, Ted Van Liew at Superworld in Holden, MA, and Jim Payette’s Rare Books and Comics in New Hampshire. All have their own online sites and I recommend them. MyComicShop.com is also a great place to look for comics right up to the present day.
