Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts
Excerpt: 

The Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts is the most eminent scientific and art institution in Serbia. It was founded by Law of November 1, 1886 as the Serbian Royal Academy. SRA was the successor to the Serbian Learned Society with which it merged in 1892 and accepted its members as its own either regular or honorary members, its tasks and its place in scientific and cultural life. The same occurred several decades earlier when the Serbian Learned Society took over the place and functions of the Society of Serbian Letters, the first learned society in the Serbian Principality.

Dibner Institute
Excerpt: 

The Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) provided reliable real-time control for the Apollo spacecraft that carried US astronauts to the moon, 1969-1972. It was designed by the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory (now The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, Inc.) and manufactured by Raytheon Corporation.
The AGC was significant for its tight coupling of human and machine, its early use of integrated circuits, and its reliable, mission critical software. The history of the AGC project provides a window into the history of technology in America during the space race and the Cold War. This site is devoted to documenting the machines, people and institutions that made this achievement possible.

David S. F. Portree
Excerpt: 

My criteria for selecting documents to annotate are admittedly fluid. I give emphasis to studies which emerged as important to later planning, but also include those that help to illustrate the wide range of moon and Mars options. Romance to Reality is meant to be a primer for building the future, not merely a catalog of unrealized dreams. - David S. F. Portree

Annotation: 

Mars and moon exploration and settlement plans from 1950 to the present are annotated in detail on this site. More than 330 documents are divided into 14 subject categories. Categories include Apollo projects, advanced propulsion, cyclers, stations, and Lagrange points, surface suits, vehicles, and activities, surveys of mission scenarios, risk reduction and human factors, high-profile reports, and many others. Author David S. F. Portree is an independent science writer and historian.

Historic Wings
Excerpt: 

Fifty years ago, in 1947, it was common knowledge that there was a "Wall of Air" at the speed of sound. As an airplane neared this critical point, shock waves would buffet its wings and tail. The pilot would lose control, a condition then called "compressibility." Often, the airplane would shatter into pieces
