FAQ-2-B: sci.space.tech reading list
Okay, here's the first update, based on part of the feedback (don't
worry, I'm not ignoring HGH's comments, etc). Reading lists and recommended references are a recurrent theme in sci.space.* This occurs so often that it seems like there is a FAQ missing here. This prototype for a FAQ is being offered by a non-expert (pure wannabe, as I haven't even made it through my Baker and Makemson), but it's based on recommendations made in various sci.space.* threads. This list includes a couple of "space history" books because they have useful overviews, but focuses mainly on technical references and theory works. (Jenkins, *Space Shuttle*, kinda falls into both groups, I gather). This is the reading list for those who are going to design the X-Prize OSP-replacement. Er, that is, those who want to know numbers, check models, and do BOTE calculations for any kind of spaceflight, manned, robotic, reentering or interstellar. I've also included Tuftes so that you can communicate usefully about your findings and results. Most of the "space history" books should be, I think, in a seperate FAQ, and I may get around to drafting that one of these days. But why wait for that when you can chew this rag? Because various local experts have various favorites (and decry certain other selections), I thought it would be useful to include information on who recommended the book, or who suggests *not* using it -- thus the Votes For and Votes Against portion of the entries. This is a early second draft. I am willing to do a couple more drafts, but in the long term a suitable steward should named Keeper of the FAQ, and really make this useful, and it should probably go out when the moderator's FAQ goes out. The format used here is a temporary one; it should be done in html-compatible citation format, but that's a later step. Note that I've left out most publication data for now. I have access to some of that information already (I saved the list from one of the schools that was posted a bit ago), but I won't spit in your face if you send me reminders about that. And there are some references so familiar that no one bothers to post the whole identification, and I've missed some of those because I haven't sipped from that cup yet. Note: "name-hearsay" in a vote means that "name" knows of the source, but has not reviewed it directly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A: NASA T: Introduction to the Aerodynamics of Flight, NASA SP-367 P: [publication data TBD] Votes For: shafer, berndt Votes Against: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A: Murray and Cox T: P: [publication data TBD] Votes For: kevinw Votes Against: om -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A: Wiesel T: P: [publication data TBD] Votes For: JRF Votes Against: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A: Bate, Mueller, and White T: P: [publication data TBD] Votes For: JRF Votes Against: spencer -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A: Prussing and Conway T: P: [publication data TBD] Votes For: JRF-hearsay, spencer Votes Against: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A: Eckart T: Lunar Base Handbook P: [publication data TBD] Votes For: Cate Votes Against: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A: Larson and Pranke T: Human Spaceflight -
