Historical Thursday: The Voskhod Program

Apr. 14, 2011

x

Happy Thursday all! It’s been a fun couple of weeks here at There I Fixed It. Between the announcement of our new book and Jay Leno doing a segment about us on The Tonight Show last night, it’s safe to say we’ve had our hands full. But there will always be time for the glory that is Historical Thursday.

With the 50-year anniversary of Yuri Gagarin’s world-altering trip to space just days behind us, this seems as good a time as any to delve into some of the lesser-known Russian space (mis)adventures.

Captain’s Log – Star Date 1004.03

Thanks to Fixer Fixeditfan for pointing me towards the origin of this nerdy kludge!

Favorite Comment: Fixer Dogmeat says, “Captain’s log, supplemental:
Since I have moved…I mean… arrived, all indigenous life I have encountered in this part of the terra firma quadrant has only manifested hostility. With one exception, hails to come aboard my ship and begin negotiations for a peace treaty have gone unanswered. The location for the talks was set to take place in my holodeck which was running an early-21st-century-suburban-backyard-with-pool-and-grill program. Unfortunately, the decontamination chamber at the entrance of my shuttle bay malfunctioned upon their arrival. I will have to get those fire extingui…I mean…viral elimination injectors fixed as soon as possible.”

The Next Best Thing To Space Camp

Hey there Fixers!

So remember when last week, I posted this epic kludge? Well turns out, NASA knows I exist. And while that brings up many disturbing questions about what OTHER government agencies are keeping tabs on me, it also brought a squeal of science girl delight to receive a special submission from the International Space Station! In fact, just typing that nearly sent me into another fit that should only be reserved for teen idols.

The engineer that was kind enough to forward these images along also wrote a heartfelt and inspiring email, which is posted, along with the OTHER PHOTOS! (Squee) after the jump.
