That's my kind of book, all pictures.

[Blackstar]

They're doing an Apollo 8 book too.

[Blackstar]

Apollo 1 is October, Apollo 7 is November, and Apollo 8 is March 2026.

Excellent!

Wouldn't a pay for view website have been easier?

[Blackstar]

Books are better.

[Jim]

Wouldn't a pay for view website have been easier?

Books are better.

But a book for every mission?

Books are better.

But a book for every mission?

Yeah.  Can you imagine one book for every Shuttle mission?

Yeah.  Can you imagine one book for every Shuttle mission?

A pleasantly excessive endeavour, that idea is.
While perhaps not all 135 missions would need a book, ones which flew the interplanetary spacecraft, had technical or personal firsts, and a summary of ISS assemblies would be nice.
I think the tragedies have enough books out there.

That remark I made wasn't for real, just making a comparison to Jim's remark on the Apollo series.

I think this is coming out in November:

[Blackstar]

Kluger's new book on Gemini was released this week. I'm awaiting my copy.

The author of the Apollo 1 and 7 books has announced plans for the next ones. I'll find the post, but I believe he announced Apollos 8, 10 and 11. He's probably also doing Apollo 9, although I need to check.

[Blackstar]

Apollo 8 in late February 2026.

[Blackstar]

The Apollo 1 and 7 books have come down in price on Amazon, $40 and $45.

[Blackstar]

The Apollo 8 book has apparently been printed early and will be available this month (December) rather than February. I'll post the info from the author.


Update:

Retro Space Images
Received word from our publisher today that the Apollo 8 book in our series has arrived earlier than expected, and that the release date has been moved up to this month. The original release date was Feb 28, 2026. More details as I get them.

Stuff has a tendency to eventually disappear from the interwebs. Physical formats however, like books, have a tendency to last for a very long time, when stored properly.
Which is why we have an original 1865 first edition issue of Jules Verne's book "De la Terre à la Lune" (From the Earth to the Moon) in the NRM archives.
Somehow I don't see a "pay for view" website for "Apollo 1 in photographs" still existing 160 years from now...

But that's just me in my role as a spaceflight archivist...

Not that I was ever a big fan of the shuttle, but I know a few people who would be like: "Bring it on!"
