Aero-Linx!
Scouring the information super
airways can sometimes be a tough, if educational, task for the
Aero-News staff... but it also allows us to check out some truly
neat and exciting sites, so it's not that bad a gig. On any given
day, we may check dozens (and often hundreds) of different sources
for story ideas, and facts confirmation. And, as is the nature of
our business, much of this is done on the Internet.
The ANN gang decided we probably shouldn't keep some of the neat
sites, info resources, and organizations we've discovered to
ourselves... so we decided to bring you Aero-Linx. These are the
sites that WE check out -- when we need added perspective, a new
spin on a day's topic... or just want to escape into
cyber-aero-space for awhile.
Look for some of our favorite sites, coming each day to ANN via
Aero-Linx. Suggestions for future Aero-Linx segments are always
welcome, as well.
Aero-Linx: NASA History
Division
The NASA History Program was first established in 1959 (a year
after NASA itself was formed) and has continued to document and
preserve the agency's remarkable history through a variety of
products. Dr. Roger D. Launius, former NASA Chief Historian, wrote
an excellent historiographic article about the history of the NASA
History Division itself.
Many people are familiar with NASA's publications, which
include a number of new books on aerospace history every year,
as well as several monographs. They also put a number of
publications on-line, especially out of print books, in addition to
a variety of other special Web exhibits and information
sources.
