thetransintransgenic:I CANNOT FRICKING EXPRESS HOW MUCH THIS IS #AESTHETICThe book starts with a Calendar Of Space Probes, describing all the launches, starting with Sputnik I in 1957 and ending… with Discoverer XII*, on June 29th, 1960, because this book was printed in 1962.The Ten-Year Space Program it talks about is almost entirely the future, ending with, following the Manned Lunar Flights And Earth Return (Apollo), using the Nova booster, in 1968, the obvious and simple next steps of Manned Permanent Space Station also in 1968, followed, of course, by Manned Lunar Flights Beyond The Moon and Small Lunar Base (Experimental) in 1969.And to be clear – yes, that “Will Eisner” is THE Will Eisner, the probably most significant comic artist of the past century, inventor of the graphic novel, etc. etc.(* You haven’t heard of the Discoverer satellites, because first of all, I checked, literally not one of Discoverer I through XII actually did everything correctly (highlight: “Orbital insertion of the second stage was downward instead of horizontal, as planned.”), and second of all, “Discoverer” was not actually it’s name and the program was actually a front for the first CIA spy satellites.)> “orbital insertion of the second stage was *downward*” -- source link
