The November/December 2012 issue of AIAA-Houston “Horizons” is available to download (has been for a while). This issue has two things which I’ve contributed:

Man On The Moon: The Exploration,” Collier’s magazine, October 25, 1952 : the third in the series of eight articles reprinting the famed “Man Will Conquer Space Soon!” articles from Collier’s magazine. I scanned a vintage copy and cleaned up the images for this.

Hubble meets Skylab:” a short article on an early Lockheed design study for a Hubble-predecessor which was to have been attached to Skylab. This was when what would become Hubble was planned to use film rather than digital imaging, and would require regular and fairly frequent visits by astronauts to change out the film canisters.

A with the previous issues with the Collier’s reprints, this issue is available in both high and low resolution, from the AIAA-Houston website HERE.
