In the 1960s, spaceflight was all about brainstorming. And there are no bad ideas in brainstorming! Ok that’s Mort true. Jet Shows weren’t a great idea, but NASA did test them in the 1970s as part of the Skylab program. New video on the Vintage Space has the details: https://youtu.be/gDCBqncaM9c | Amy Shira Teitel

Amy Shira Teitel on Instagram: "Apollo 15 flew from July 26 to August 7, 1971, and was the first longer duration “J” mission. It pioneered the Lunar Rover and really emphasized science. And also had the first transearth EVA!? It’s a fun one, and I LIVE this picture so much! #history #author"

Throwback to a video that I absolutely loved researching: the link between space exploration and politics. We want to say that spaceflight is all about understanding our place in the universe and pushing humanity forward and all that good stuff... but it's inextricable from politics. Which is actually super fascinating! The major parties in the United States have very different approaches to spaceflight, leveraging it for different aims, to a mix of public dismay or celebration as the case may b

I LOVE this kind of history! Back when lunar exploration was new and before anything had landed on the surface, engineers were trying to figure how humans would eventually explore on longer stays. Without knowing what the surface was like -- whether it was thick dust, too thin to support weight, super rocky and cratered -- engineers looked to nature at different animals that can cover a variety of terrain and ultimately settled on nature's roving masters: the worm, the centipede, and the snake.
