Space-flight site
The Pedantic Pundit steered me to Encyclopedia Astronautica, a web site full of stuff about space flight, from the beginning through today. As a Sputnik baby (born Oct. 7, 1957), I can dig it. Here's something I didn't know: the Apollo 8 flight was much riskier than the general public realized. The mission—to be the first to orbit the moon—was given only a slightly better than 50% chance of success.

Ray, I hope you and yours have a happy and love filled New Year. May all your hopes and wishes come true.
