A very interesting story of how we nearly lost the space shuttle Discovery on it's first flight after the Columbia disaster.

I've never seen photos of a shuttle like this. It's interesting to see the textures and the almost paper mâché look that it has. In a world of plastic models of the shuttle, it's good to be reminded of the age in which it was designed and the exotic materials it required.

spectacular photos of the lead up to and launch of the Ares I rocket.

Awesome information on a very cool, but scrapped, propulsion idea from the 50s.
