please, need review on plot summary?
2064, a group of astronomers called “Section 8 Exploration Squadron (S8ES)” conducts its mission of retrieving uncollected data from space deep in the milky way galaxy by sending astronauts along with a probe into space. Traveling at warp speed, the team hopes to go further than ever explored into the galaxy. By 2067 the team and its probe reaches far beyond the point of any explored region of space by humans. Around this time, the team experiences malfunctions with their spacecraft, which causes them to lose contact with the probe, weeks later the team learns from their commutations center on earth, that their probe had been destroyed thousands of miles away, this inciting the S8ES to explore the area of the destroyed probe. The story follows Thomas Wilkers (main character), Chelsea Nordstrom, Bill Crow and Phillip Gregor, all member of the S8ES exploration squad.
the story goes further, but this is the basic idea
*pffffft*
Good luck writing that, good person.
I think that it is . . . an interesting story line and I don’t know how far you could go with it, but I say GO FOR IT!!!!!! Stephanie Meyer was succesful with breathy, sparkling, gay-as-hell vampires, so you can get away with just about anything now. Good luck.

Gemini Spacecraft Replica $259 Gemini Spacecraft 1/48 Scale Replica Project Gemini was the second human spaceflight program of the United States of America. It operated between Projects Mercury and Apollo, during the years 1963-1966. Its objective was to develop techniques for advanced space travel, notably those necessary for Project Apollo, whose objective was to land men on the Moon. Gemini missions involved extravehicular activity and orbital maneuvers including rendezvous and docking.The Gemini Program was conceived after it became evident to NASA officials that an intermediate step was required between the projects Mercury and Apollo. The major objectives assigned to Gemini were: To subject two men and supporting equipment to long-duration flights, a requirement for projected later trips to the Moon or deeper space. To effect rendezvous and docking with other orbiting vehicles, and to maneuver the docked vehicles in space, using the propulsion system of the target vehicle for such maneuvers. To perfect methods of reentry and landing the spacecraft at a pre-selected land-landing point. To gain additional information concerning the effects of weightlessness on crew members and to record the physiological reactions of crew members during long-duration flights. After 10 successful flights, the Gemini program clearly placed the United States in the lead over the Soviet Union in manned spaceflight. The flight of Gemini VIII included the successful emergency recovery of the tumbling orbiting capsule by Neil ArmstrongThis Gemini Spacecraft 1/48 Scale Replica is by expert modeler Nick Proach. Please allow 3 to 6 months from the time of order to delivery, as these models are custom made upon ordering. An additional shipping and handling charge of $30 will be added to your order.

Manned Spacecraft Center Reports: 1964-1969 DVD $24.99 Manned Spacecraft Center Reports: 1964-1969 The Manned Spacecraft Center Progress reports DVD contains 11 reports produced by the Center (later the Johnson Space Center) in Houston.

Running times for each report vary from 27 minutes to 12 minutes, and each report covers a period of six months.The Manned Spacecraft Center reports were transferred from a video master, and do not represent as crisp a quality as some of our other material. However, we feel the unique nature of the reports overcomes any shortfall in picture quality. Of course they are of similar quality to just about any non-Spacecraft Films product on early space exploration, but we wanted you to know they were of lesser picture quality than our standard.

Apollo 10 Mission Patch $4.95 4 inch patch. This spacecraft was the second Apollo mission to orbit the Moon, and the first to travel to the Moon with the full Apollo spacecraft, consisting of the Command and Service Module, named “Charlie Brown,” and the Lunar Module, named “Snoopy.” The primary objectives of the mission were to demonstrate crew, space vehicle and mission support facilities during a human lunar mission and to evaluate Lunar Module performance in cislunar and lunar environment. The mission was a full “dry run” for the Apollo 11 mission, in which all operations except the actual lunar landing were performed.On May 22, Thomas Stafford and Eugene Cernan entered the Lunar Module and fired the Service Module reaction control thrusters to separate the Lunar Module from the Command Module. The Lunar Module was put into an orbit to allow low-altitude passes over the lunar surface, the closest approach bringing it to within 8.9 kilometers (5.5 miles) of the Moon. All systems on the Lunar Module were tested during the separation including communications, propulsion, attitude control and radar. The Lunar Module and Command Module rendezvous and redocking occurred 8 hours after separation on May 23. Thirty-one lunar orbits were achieved.

"Longest Four Minutes I Ever Spent" Giclee Print 11 x 14 or 18 x 24 $45 “Longest Four Minutes I Ever Spent” – Giclee Print 11 x 14 or 18 x 24 Please select 11 x 14, which his $45 or 16 x 24, which is $85 In this scene, the spacecraft is actually moving from right to left. Upon approaching the moon, the spacecraft was oriented with the service propulsion engine facing in the direction of travel. Communication with Earth was temporarily interrupted as the spacecraft swung around the far side of the moon. On their own, the crew performed the complicated procedure which fired the engine for a little over 4 minutes thereby slowing the speed of the spacecraft just enough to place it into lunar orbit. This was a critical maneuver and everyone was more than just a little tense as the engine had never been tested in lunar orbit before this mission. Any malfunctions or deviation in burn time could have lead to disastrous consequences.. Jim Lovell later stated it was the longest four minutes he had ever spent. Everyone was relieved as the engine performed flawlessly and on Christmas Eve the crew of Bill Anders, Frank Borman and Jim Lovell became the first human beings in history to orbit another celestial body other than the planet earth. The Matt Size for the 11″ x 14″ is 13″ x 16″.
