asonlynasacan: Bob Crippen and an MOL suit, NASA photo. He was selected for MOL in 1966…he was reabsorbed into the astronaut corps in 1969, after MOL was cancelled.

kaiyves: lightthiscandle: ABC press badge for the launch of STS-7, as seen on eBay. STS-7 featured the first American woman in space, Sally Ride. The designers of the badge took note of this fact, as shown by the symbols surrounding the shuttle. It’s that way on the mission patch, too, but the circle is smaller and more in the background, so it’s easier to miss. 

Happy 6 month anniversary to Mars Curiosity Rover!!

kaiyves: colchrishadfield: The Station Solar Arrays serve a vital function, but also make a lovely mosaic when aligned in concert with the sun. He’s right. Absolutely beautiful.

kaiyves: senior-crown: 10 years ago today, I was on top of a slide at my elementary school in Merritt Island, watching Columbia launch for the last time. Two weeks later, a dark cloud fell upon the Space Coast, one that would not lift for another two years. This was one of the most life-changing experiences I have ever gone through. Godspeed the crew of STS-107, and Hail Columbia! Remembering.

kaiyves: spacewatching: A space suit floats freely away from the International Space Station in a scene reminiscent of a sci-fi movie. But this time, no investigation is needed. The suit is actually the world’s latest satellite and was launched on Feb. 3, 2006. Dubbed SuitSat-1, the unneeded Russian Orlan spacesuit filled mostly with old clothes was fitted with a radio transmitter and released to orbit the Earth. Wild! Wow.
