Essential Space Links

If you're crawling through the internet looking for some reliable information about space, it's easy to get lost. Without resorting to wikipedia (which isn't bad for a quick reference), here are some sites I use.

Encyclopedia Astronautica - Extremely comprehensive site with everything you'd want to know about space history. (NOTE: This site has just been taken down by its publisher. That's a real shame, and a great loss.)

NASA History Publications - You can find complete books here (in pdf or html format), including Asif Siddiqi's essential "Challenge to Apollo", a history of the Soviet space program in the 1960s.

James Oberg's Pioneering Space - Thoughtful, informed information from an acknowledged expert.

Space.com - For all the latest news and some useful links to boot.
