Good course, would be perfect with a second part (space disasters, apollo 13 in detail, the 80's and the Shuttle program)!
An absolutely great course! As a huge space fan I enjoy every minute in this course (including the quiz)! So many interesting materials, especially the historical videos about USA/USSR missions which I find very fascinating. Highly recommend.
excellent!

The course is a gem, but it lacks the second part, like the disasters and so on. Special gratitude for chronicles in different languages.
