Als die NASA, die National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 1958 ihren Betrieb aufnahm, war das auch ein Akt der Psychohygiene für eine geschockte und hysterisierte amerikanische Nation, über die seit einem Jahr piepend russische Sputniks hinwegzogen. Wenige Jahre später hatte sich das Häufchen von Rocketmen, Technikern und Testpiloten , die schon früh von PR-Profis Unterstützung erhielten, zu einem führenden Technologieunternehmen und einer Mythenfabrik gemausert. Astronauten wurden zu neuen Nationalhelden, und Programme wie Mercury, Gemini und schließlich Apollo fesselten Millionen, lenkten vom atomaren Wettrüsten und kriegerischen Konflikten wie in Vietnam ab und machten Cape Canaveral zu einer nationalen Pilgerstätte. Die Mondlandung, das berühmte Bild der "Blauen Murmel" , das ein Bewusstsein für das "Raumschiff Erde" weckte, die Shuttle-Flüge und zahllose Sondenmissionen durch das Sonnensystem und mit Voyager über seine Grenzen hinaus, aber auch Katastrophen wie der Verlust der Challenger- und Columbia-Mannschaften schrieben Technik-, Wissenschafts- und Mediengeschichte . Wer erinnert sich nicht an die Bilder von Armstrong und Aldrin auf dem Mond , von startenden und landenden Raumfähren, vom Aufbau der ISS-Weltraumstation , von Astronauten auf Außenmission, an die faszinierenden Ansichten des Universums, die das Hubble-Weltraumteleskop geliefert hat, oder an die Marspanoramen der Rover-Fahrzeuge ? Heute verfolgen Millionen von Menschen weltweit die Arbeit der NASA über die sozialen Medien; allein das erste Foto von Pluto in hoher Auflösung brachte der NASA auf ihrem FacDigital-Profil innerhalb eines Tages mehr als 320.000 Interaktionen und über 152.000 neue Follower ein. Diese Sammlung, die in Zusammenarbeit mit der NASA entstand, zeichnet mit über 500 historischen Fotografien und seltenen Konzeptdarstellungen , die unter Einsatz modernster Techniken neu abgetastet und überarbeitet wurden, die Geschichte der National Aeronautics and Space Administration von den Anfängen bis den aktuellsten Missionen nach. Texte des Wissenschafts- und Technikjournalisten Piers Bizony , des ehemaligen NASA-Chefhistorikers Roger Launius und des Apollo-Historikers und Bestsellerautors Andrew Chaikin runden diese umfassende Darstellung ab.

True to size & Use a Drill
Color: Beige, Size: 3 Panel-102‘’-Round Pad, Color: Beige, Size: 3 Panel-102‘’-Round Pad
Love this! Works perfectly for where I wanted it. I did measure my room incorrectly and thought it would be smaller, thankfully it’s not and thankfully it’s not bigger than the room itself. I did like how the whole thing was move-able but it was a bit annoying so I just added extra clips to the left of the middle one and unscrewed the right of the middle at the bottom so it opens like a door, this did make it a bit flimsy but duck taping it to the wall as anchor it works. 100% recommend, but do suggest a drill and a second set of hands to put it together, due to its size it can be a bit difficult to maneuver putting together yourself. Also if you have a clingy cat like I do, and think this will help keep them out, no, my cat who is very large can manage to squeeze underneath it.

waste of money
Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel-136‘’W-Round Pad
This is a total waste of money. Its only going to free stand if you arent moving it. If you are planning on dividing a room, and then folding these for space and then dividing the room again, itll last a few days. The poles kept coming off of the screws that holds the fabric on the poles together. Was fixing this EVERY DAY. Finally got tired of doing this and just threw it out. Lot of money spent on garbage. Get a sheet room divider, or something that isnt cheaply made. Was simply making an office type space in a bedroom, to seperate the two areas for work, and folding it kept making the poles come off those twisted screws. just not worth it.

Absolutely love this room divider!
Color: Beige, Size: 3 Panel-102‘’-Round Pad, Color: Beige, Size: 3 Panel-102‘’-Round Pad
When they say you can't see anything through it, they are correct. As you can see by the video, the cars are traveling by with the sunlight on the divider and you still can't see any cars passing nor can you see the ones in the parking lot. You can also tell it blocks out the sunlight too which is a definite plus for our store. Quality material on the divider. Material is nice and snug on the poles with no ripples. I also like the base of these, they make the divider nice and sturdy and can be adjusted if floor is uneven. Also the design of the legs allow them to go under your furniture. Also putting them together is pretty easy. Just make sure you when you are putting the poles together to make sure at the top of the pole that the indent screw hole faces out. This makes for a better look. The directions don't say which way to turn and at 1st, I had one, one way and the other was another way as both ways work that way but I wanted a uniform/better look.

Works well, need power tool to assemble
Color: Beige, Size: 3 Panel-102‘’-Round Pad, Color: Beige, Size: 3 Panel-102‘’-Round Pad
Sturdy enough, especially when feet are positioned for balance. Works perfectly to create a WFH “cubicle”. Can adjust the size to provide complete privacy or fold back a panel when I want more openness. The fabric panels are not perfectly taught, but pretty close. The only negative is that without my husband’s power drill/screwdriver we wouldn’t have been able to put it together. It would take the strength of Thor to do it with just a manual screwdriver.

Now I don't have to see the "black hole" that used to be my family room!
Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel-136‘’W-Round Pad
I have an adult child living at home and his bedroom is tiny, so he's pretty much taken over the family room. We are both much happier now that the divider is up. It is about 12 feet long and gives him privacy to watch his movies and play his video games. And I don't have to see all the shoot-em-up stuff he likes to watch. I put the divider together with just a screwdriver (not a power one, that would be nice but I don't have so I had to use a little elbow grease.) It took a couple hours. The instructions are straightforward. I did have to use my long dining room table to attach the feet to the divider panels, which was a bit tricky. But I'm really pleased with the end result. I'm NOT a handywoman, so I feel proud that I did it "all by myself." He wanted the black fabric, but I think the lighter colors would have been better for a room that gets hot in the summer. Just my opinion. Whatever color you choose, I think you'll like the end result.
