Ernst Stuhlinger was a lucky guy. He was an assistant professor in Berlin working on nuclear physics when the German Army drafted him in 1941. He was wounded in the Battle of Moscow and was one of the few men in his unit to escape Stalingrad. Lucky for him the powers that be let him work on rocket guidance systems instead of be a side of beef stopping bullets somewhere.

Speaking of Yuri and cosmonauts in general, did you ever hear the creepy recording of Vladimir Komarov cursing the Soviets and everyone that put him into his capsule, while he plummeted to his death?
There's a lot of stuff out there on Cosmonauts that supposedly went up before Yuri and died horrible deaths, covered up (of course) by the Soviets.
I've heard of the incident, but I've never heard the recording.
Aren't there other recordings of cosmonauts supposedly lost in space during that time?
There was that story about a Yupiter-1 craft with the Sem'ya Robinsonski aboard going missing...
Here's a possible female Cosmonaut:

Lets hope they didn't have to resort to Z-Stoff & T-Stoff for propellant.

So when the Milky Way and Andromeda final 'merge' is the latter supposed to formally adopt those little ones or are they supposed to keep calling her 'Aunt' Andromeda?
I bet Barth knows. He's been trying to destroy the universe for decades!

Seems the US was not the only country with ideas on a space shuttle
Where do you think the US stole the plans from. Well, it was the Brits that sold them and then sold them to us.
And the Brits got them from Hugo Drax.

^They did that with Discovery over DC. Really cool to watch! O0
I've got a picture of Challenger on the back of a 747 when it made its last stop in San Antonio, on the way back to Florida, for its fateful launch in 1986. It's in a poster frame with the poem 'High Flight.' One of my most cherished belongings.

It's shark lure. They wanted to prank the frogmen.

^ Fake!
Someone 'shopped out USS DONALD TRUMP and replaced it with some other name.
Fake, because we all know the Enterprise wasn't constructed on a planet's surface. :nerd:
True dat.
So I don't know if anyone else saw this, but Russia has it's own Space Force. Something I've not seen reported in mainstream media, but then again I usually avoid them like the plague. They've had such a thing off and on for a while, and started it back up in 2015.

I don't see any memes making fun of them, lol. Perhaps I'm just missing something.
And they're rather pissy that we're considering doing our OWN thing...

^Exactly.
He is not of the Timebody.
But he keeps running around yelling "festival, festival!!!"
Wait. He went to Origins, right?

Mig29K landing on Admiral Kuznetzov. Watch the main struts flex as the plane hits the deck. If you compare that to other navy's carrier landings, it is pretty obvious this plane isn't designed for use on carriers.
