Don't forget to dream with the eyes on the stars!
"On January 28, 1986, NASA Challenger mission STS-51-L ended in tragedy when the shuttle exploded 73 seconds after takeoff. On board was physicist Ronald E. McNair, who was the second African American to enter space. But first, he was a kid with big dreams in Lake City, South Carolina."

Apollo XI
Remembering the great Apollo XI feat of 40 years ago, here is a very good photo collection.
By the way, did you know that most Astronauts are Engineers? ;-)

Digital Apollo
Presentation of the Digital Apollo by David A. Mindell
An interesting account of the human-computer interface challenges in the Apollo space program, that took Man to the Moon for the first time in 1969.
One of the highlights for me was the book cover picture, available at the book's website. It is a computer graphics recreation of the perspective Neil Armstrong had when he was landing the lunar module. Thrilling!
Sure takes me back to when I was a kid and wanted to be an Astronaut...
