Welcome to my world

2005-07-17T10:00:00.000-07:00

This blog is primarily about Space Flight Documents, but occasionally I will stray from my topic. I plan to talk about Spacecraft Films DVD sets, another great form of space documention, occasionally.

The main topic will be space documentation on the web. If you aren't familiar with my space docs website, please go to www.geocities.com/bobandrepont/spacepdf.htm I have over two thousand links and usually update weekly.

STS-114 has been delayed, but here are a few links to get you up to speed for the flight.
