Today's Webtip: Encyclopedia Astronautica
The encyclopedia Astronautica is a massive collection of articles on humanities attempts at getting into space. They cover all of the standard stuff, and include a lot of things that you probably haven't heard of before. Information on projects that never made it beyond the drawing board, on the Chinese and Iranian space programs, and, best of all, translations of the diaries of Nikolai Petrovich Kamanin. He was head of the Russian Cosmonaut training program from 1960-1971. This seems to be the only source of english translations of his writing.
It's a lot to dig through, but for space freaks and hobby historians, it's well worth a visit.
