Spaceflight

One of my interests besides aviation is spaceflight and the following sites are ones that I look at often and consider to be some fo the best. They are listed with the title, address , and a brief description.

Guenter's Space page, http://skyrocket.de/space/, a site about rockets/missiles and satellites (orbital, suborbital, military, civilian) from around the world with many pictures and updated whenever a new satellite or rocket is launched.

Internet Reference guide to space launch vehicles, http://hometown.aol.de/B14643/space-rockets/, a site about orbital rockets from around the world with diagrams of the vehicles and hundreds of pictures of the rockets themselves.

Space Facts, http://spacefacts.de/, a site about manned spaceflights both orbital and suborbital with bios and pics on the crew members both flown and unflown (those selected but who didn't fly for whatever reason).

Project Apollo Archive, http://www.apolloarchive.com/, a siet about the apollo project with everything you would want to know about it.

Capcom Espace, http://www.capcomespace.net/dossiers/, a french-language site about spaceflight with particular emphasis on european spaceflight history with numerous rare pictures (even some of the pictures on parts dealing others like project apollo are very rare).

NASA, http://www.nasa.gov/, the main site for NASA with links to various projects that the agency has/is been involved with and one that should be explored to the full.
