Help Contacting Astronautix

I was reading on astronautix, on the Soyuz 7K-LOK page,
and the main body of text came to a sudden, mid-word end.

"After four days transit to the moon, with two mid-course
corrections, the Block D would fire to place the assembly
into a 175 km circular lunar orbit at 98.5 hours into the
flight. The Block D would shape the orbit to a final 40 km
x 175 km orbit on maneuvers on the fifth and 27th orbits.
The LOK was to conduct photographic sessions of
potential future landing sites on orbit 14, 17, 34, and 36.
After 3.7 days in lunar orbit, the LOK's forward living
compartment would separate and the Block I engine
would fire to put the spacecraft on a translunar
trajectory. Eight minutes prior to re-entry the descent
module would separate, c"

So, I looked at the "Contact Us" link, but it neither
gives an e-mail address nor brings up any sort of
form to fill out, to contact Mr. Wade or anyone who
might look after such an issue.

Any ideas ?

Works fine on my machine for that page; clicking on his name brings up a
email form for him.
His email address is:
Make your subject line: "Comment on Encyclopedia Astronautica"
....and start your message with: "In reference to your page on"

OK, it just doesn't work on mine. Clicking on "Contact Us"
at the bottom of the L7-LOK page gets me to a Contact
page, with another contact link, but clicking on that one
goes nowhere.

His email address is:

Google Groups munged what you wrote after the "nau"
part. I presume that that is the site name,
astronautix, followed by the @ and then the gmail.com
part, yes ?

I just sent a message off that way, so I'll see what
happens.

Make your subject line: "Comment on Encyclopedia Astronautica"
...and start your message with: "In reference to your page on"

That's exactly the way that I wrote it. I don't want to get it stuck
in their spam traps.

This Google Groups sounds like a hidden Trotskyite wrecker!
A weak link in the chain of socialism...
Minus the http:// part it's: www.astronautix.com/craft/soy7klok.htm

Kewl. Yeah, it does appear that a function on Google Groups
is replacing some of the letters of any e-mail address that is
contained within a post with several periods.

But, we have it covered now. Thanks to both Pat and OM.

We'll cross our wires that it does, eh ?

I can also sympathise with your impending water rising issues.

I came home last month to the effects of a busted water heater
bottom that wet a good part of my basement. Most of what got
ruined was the bases of several bookcases (But, their contents
were fine, due to the lowest shelf still being several inches off of
the floor.), and I'm doing very well in procuring exact replacements
for relatively little outlay.

I still have to wait for the new drywall to go in before I can start
to reassemble the library down there, but the worst is well over.

It may take him a while to get back in touch with you, as he stated.

Our basement sewer system backed up when I was a kid, destroying some
books I had down there.

That's OK, my concern was for him to know about the apparent
text break/loss in the article. It's far less important that he let me
know what the trouble was.

That's always a pain in the tuchis.

In this instance, while some books did buy the farm, they were
mostly older and less crucial pocketbooks. All of the trade and
hardcovers, which form the majority of my personal library,
fared intact, ditto with all of the CDs, DVDs, and audio and
video tapes.

At this point, the repair crew needs to replace the removed
drywall, and such, then I can begin the process of re-creating
the den.

Lots of work, but easier and less nerve wracking than getting
things out of there while it was still wet.

That's how you spell it?
When I was a kid I assumed it was spelled "tokus" from the way my mother
pronounced it.
As to why a Roman Catholic/Episcopalian family was referring to our rear
ends in Yiddish slang is a very good question.
Nothing in Yiddish about a penis being a "tinkler" or a BM being a
"plunk" is there? :-D

Ever notice a thing about men and basements?
The women head upstairs to set up their place, the men inevitably seem
to head for the basement.
I had a friend who was single and lived alone, and he set up a bar and
den in his basement, despite having two empty bedrooms on the ground floor.
I think this somehow hearkens back to a troglodyte past. :-\

Well, that's a spelling that I am familiar with. I make no claim that
it
is a definitive English spelling.

Yes, and I can explain why that is.

When one is in the main floor of many homes, one finds that it
tends to have several traffic flow-throughs. In through at least
one door from the outside (At times, 3, if there is a back door,
and an entrance from the garage.). Unless one has such a
commodious home as to have a family room that sits on one
side of the house (Such that into the house and through the
kitchen traffic flows don't come into/through it.), then a basement
is the most likely space where such a non traffic flow pattern
will be found.

In every house that I have been in, save one, the basement
was a pathway to nowhere but the basement (The one
exception was a townhouse where the door to the below
ground level car park was through one side of the basement.),
thus anyone who is using a room down there will not have
other residents passing through, to disturb their reading,
TV watching, or video playbacking.

Not many homes have dedicated dens or family rooms above
the main floor.

The women head upstairs to set up their place, the men inevitably
seem to head for the basement.

Women tend to like the kitchen, and the master bathroom.

Also areas that affect main floor traffic flow patterns and uses.

I had a friend who was single and lived alone, and he set up a bar and
den in his basement, despite having two empty bedrooms on the ground floor.
