Librarian’s Note: Wow, a very unusual story. History changes when a small asteroid ruptures the Eagle LEM, dashing the hopes of the Americans to be the first on the Moon, allowing Валенти́на Терешко́ва to make the first landing a few months later. This completely changes Nixon’s views on a Moon base, and the world pursues a different space trajectory which takes a surprising turn.

Librarian’s Note: It took some searching in the Quartier Latin to find this one, but I’m glad I took the time to do so. A terrific story of disaster and international cooperation on the Moon.

Librarian’s Note: Not yet available in the U.S., this was one of my top acquisition priorities during my trip to Strasbourg for the ISU Syposium.

P.S. The one nephew loved it and always wants to play it.

Best of the Moon 2008 - La Lune

Librarian’s Note: Another beautiful and info-packed issue. The subscription for this one is not cheap, especially as the dollar continues to weaken (luckily I prepaid for two years back when the dollar had some strength), but it is sooo worth it. This issue features articles on the Mercury visit, the Columbus Module, the ATV, Italian ISS specialists ALTEC, a look at the ‘tormented’ Ares I, the Chinese ShenLong spaceplane(?), the forgotten Apollo 11 silicon disk, Asia’s (ex-China & Japan) contributions to space, a Mars astromobile, the French spaceplane, and much, much more. I even learn new French words like écusson.
