Top ten launches from Baikonur of 2013! Impressive! :thumbup:

Full Apollo 13 Mission Control tapes with Director's loop. Hours and hours to listen. Extremely interesting. Switch coffee heater on.

You realize it took nearly an hour before everyone agrees that no, it isn't an instrumentation failure. What happened was so unbelievelable, that they thought to all the other options before. Once there you feel that even Gene Kranz becomes a bit nervous.

There is a lot of tense in Part 2, when all the flight controllers ask EECOM for electrical power he simply can't give.

I don't think this has been posted here before.

Here's an interesting video of the Apollo 16 launch from T-20 minutes. It is the BBC unilateral feed to London with James Burke and Jim Lovell followed by a multilateral feed with BBC audio:

X-30 National Aerospace Plane

The 90s animations remind me of the later seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Perhaps the only video appearance of the Kankoh-maru 50-passenger space tourism SSTO:

Does anyone here still remember NASA's Morpheus Lander Project? Their little lander has had quite a few flights lately at the end of the SLF at the Cape to test out automatic obstacle avoidance capabilities, including this stunning night flight yesterday! :tiphat:
