Fascinating Photos of NASA’s Abandoned Launch Sites | WIRED

“The exploration of space stands as one of humanity’s greatest achievements. While history has hailed the men and women who reached the cosmos, and those who helped them get there, much of the infrastructure that sent them skyward lies forgotten and dilapidated. Roland Miller has spent nearly half his life chronicling these landmarks before they are lost forever.”

BBC News – The Eagle has landed: Nasa launches free sound library

“Historical audio from Nasa missions has been uploaded to a free sound library.

More than 60 samples have been added to the agency’s new dedicated Soundcloud account, but listeners are unable to leave comments underneath the files.

Astronaut communications, including “Houston, we’ve had a problem” and “the Eagle has landed”, can be heard – as well as some more abstract noises made by working spacecraft and debris.”
