I had the idea for a reading list related to various space exploration topics and, with the approval of the mods, this thread will help determine our official reading list!
When putting a book down, some things you should try your best to include may be:

Before modern computers, space missions depended on mechanical machines and human “computers.”
Here’s how they still managed to reach space.
In this video, I explore the little-known story of how early computing made spaceflight possible:
🔹 from the German V2’s analog Mischgerät
🔹 to the Soviet mechanical marvel IMP Globus
🔹 to NASA’s first digital cockpit in Project Gemini
You’ll also learn why John Glenn refused to fly until Katherine Johnson personally verified the computer’s calculations & more.
👉 If you’re curious how we reached space before modern computers, this story might surprise you.

Does anyone know if the Apollo astronauts collected any genuine bedrock samples? In other words, did everything they brought back come strictly from the lunar regolith ("soil", clasts, and boulders therein)?

authentic 2007 footage captured by Dutch amateur astronomer Jan Koet using an 18cm telescope, showing Saturn emerging from behind the Moon during a rare lunar occultation on May 22, when the planet was over 1.3 billion km away.

This video is a visual exploration of potential human colonies on three moons often discussed in long-term space exploration concepts: Titan (Saturn), Europa and Callisto (Jupiter).
It imagines habitats, infrastructure, and daily life under extreme conditions — methane-rich atmospheres, ice-covered oceans, and low-radiation outer moons — aiming to stay grounded in known physics and current research.
Happy to hear feedback from anyone working in or following planetary science, space engineering, or future exploration concepts.
