If there’s anything which makes me think of Kentucky sour mash whiskey more than a bathhouse in a Turkish harem, it’s…well, pretty much everything, really.

Propaganda posters of the Soviet space program, circa 1958-1963

Powerful cold war propaganda or Nostalgic images of a begone era?

Probably both.

Never the the less, it is such a a shame we don’t feel this level of excitement about space exploration. Nowadays it’s all about the latest mobile phone handset, the latest game console..

All posters are from the Collection of the Memorial Museum of Сosmonautics in Moscow.

newfleshontheblock:

wait what are there seriously no waffle houses in nebraska

that seems really weird to me for some reason

There are two Waffle Houses directly on my route to and from work. There’s third maybe a two-minute drive from my house, and a fourth a similar distance from my office. They are, to say the least, accessible here.

And this seems relevant.

LZ 86 served on the Eastern Front until it crashed over Romania in fall of 1916. Seen in profile here, it offers a good view of the placement of the upper machine gun platform, one of the crewmen standing there to offer scale.
