In the driver’s seat. Astronaut Michael Collins undergoes simulation training in preparation for Apollo 11. Mr. Collins flew twice in space with his first flight being on Gemini 10 with John Young. On that flight, he became the 4th human to perform a spacewalk. During Apollo 11, Collins orbited 30x in the Command Module to become the 2nd to orbit to the moon solo, after Young did so during Apollo 10. A historic humble hero.

I’m a total noob at animation but I refuse to let it stop me. Say hi to Mr. Space Manatee <3
Edit: PS, if anyone knows a way to slow in and slow out an animation in PS, please share your wisdom with me. Thanx

Meet the newest space pilot on the block, Melcure! Hailing from a race of psychically inclined nudibranches, Mel is an expert in psychokinesis using that potential to shield and heal friends. Although a bit too lazy for their own good, they have a good, if not too soft, heart and good intentions wherever they go.

During the plummet, a break in the left wing of the bus permitted superheated air to enter, making the space apparatus crumble. The deficiency of correspondence with the bus left mission control in a condition of shock and vulnerability.

NASA executed various changes and upgrades in transport wellbeing conventions as an immediate consequence of the Columbia fiasco. The misfortune provoked a reexamination of transport plan, upkeep techniques, and the general wellbeing society at NASA.
End:
Kalpana Chawla's commitments to space investigation and her mental fortitude in seeking after her fantasies made a permanent imprint on history. The lamentable finish of the Columbia mission fills in as a piercing sign of the dangers innate in space investigation. As we recollect Kalpana Chawla, we likewise honor her memory by proceeding to push the limits of logical disclosure and investigation, ever aware of the penances made chasing information past our planet.

What do you mean by Venus floating cities?
I'm hoping to write a science fiction story about visiting Venus as part of the space race and I would love your input
Alright so the thing with Venus is that we're all very familiar with her horrible hell-death clouds and 900°F surface temperatures. We all understand the surface of Venus is not a fun place for humans to be.
Tumblr media
But, nobody ever talks about the fact that ABOVE the hell-death clouds, Venus is a paradise. The most Earth-like environment we know of in the solar system, beyond Earth itself, is actually in the skies of Venus.
About 30 miles above the surface, the pressure is ~1 atmosphere, and the temperature ranges from 30 - 100°F, which is Happy Human™ standard pressure and temperature.
What's more, a breathable mix of oxygen and nitrogen provides over 60% the lifting power on Venus that helium does on Earth. In other words, a balloon full of human-breathable air would float to the habitable range of Venus's atmosphere. We could float a ship with the very air we breathe.
The other great thing about this is that it avoids one of the big problems with Mars colonization. On Mars, any habitat on the surface full of breathable air is vulnerable to leaks and explosive decompression, a la the Martian.
Tumblr media
Floating on Venus, a balloon full of breathable air doesn't have a significant pressure difference between the inside and the outside. Which means, any leaks or tears would be very slow and manageable. You could fix that shit with duct tape!
Similarly, because the environment outside the balloon is so Earth-like, humans living there wouldn't need any big fancy pressurized suits for extravehicular work. We'd need air to breathe, maybe some heat protection, and protection against the acid rain. That's it. 
Venus also provides the tools to keep us fed! It's atmosphere is made primarily of carbon dioxide, even above the dense horrible clouds. What likes carbon dioxide? Plants from Earth!! Lets grow FOOD on FLOATING PLATFORMS in the SKIES of VENUS.
This whole idea actually came out of a NASA effort exploring potential Venus colonization. The program was called HAVOC - the High Altitude Venus Operational Concept.
It hasn't really gone anywhere, and as far as I know there are no real plans to revisit it. Unfortunately, from a practicality standpoint, Mars is a much more viable target for human colonization. Not only is it better poised for outer solar system exploration, being farther away from the sun, but living on Venus would come with too many complicated contingencies. In the event of a major failure on Venus, you'd need to fly to another base, or fuck off all the way to orbit. I understand why people aren't really in a hurry to live somewhere where landing on the surface means certain death.
But that doesn't mean I won't be forever and always enamored by the skies of Venus. Here's one of the artist concepts to come out of HAVOC.
Tumblr media
I want to be there.
