Beyond Apollo
Posted by Scott
Wired has a great feature on their blog called Beyond Apollo where they “chronicle space history through missions and programs that didn’t happen”. Some great imagery up there. Also, Spock. And look how new The Shuttle looks! Seems fake.

April 6, 2012 at 2:40 pmI still scratch my head and wonder why we have not paid more attention to Venus. The farthest that Venus ever gets from Earth is 261 million km. The closest possible opposition distance between Earth and Venus is 38 million kilometers. This is the closest that any planet comes to Earth. So why is everyone stuck on studying Mars?
Scott, if you have not checked out the CICLOPS imaging diary yet you are in for a treat. Prepare for astrophotographic orgasms.
