Carnival of Space #34 has launched (bwah hahahaha) at Spaceflight. As usual, there are killer links to space articles (including my Top Ten astropix and APOD’s, too).
A while back I was reticent to link to the carnivals, since they happen so often it might seem like noise. But I also started reading the linked articles (one advantage of no longer having a "real" job) and it’s amazing how many good writers are out there. So I’m gonna keep linking to ‘em, and I might even host one or two as I see fit.

Thanks for the link. I just downloaded “Mars Just Imagine.” It’s a very nice piece of work. It reminds me of these collectors cards I had as a small child in Britain outlining the Space Program from its infancy to the Apollo Program. Hopefully it will inspire a new generation of young people to pursue their dreams.

Hey Mike,
You mean the cards given away with the tea bags? I collected those too… still have the album somewhere, with the final card confidently predicting a manned mission to Mars in 1986…
(and as a regular contributor to the Space Carnivals, thanks for the plug BA, hope you can host another sometime. )

Stu.
Yes! Wow! I cannot believe someone has those, let alone knew what I was talking about! There also used to be a magazine called Look-In (I think) that I seem to remember having several articles about space exploration.

Stu,
If you find those cards, any chance of posting them on-line?
