Human Spaceflight: 09 Nov 1967. A huge milestone for the Apollo programme as the colossal Saturn V rocket is launched for the first time. Designated Apollo 4, this was an all-up test of the massive, 3-stage launch vehicle that would hopefully send astronauts to the Moon before the end of the decade.

Human Spaceflight: 07 Nov 1967. Surveyor 6 makes a successful lunar landing, sending back nearly 30,000 images from its TV cameras and conducting various experiments on the surface regolith. This was the final Surveyor mission intended to support the upcoming Apollo missions.

Human Spaceflight: 30 Oct 1967. 3 days after the launch of Kosmos 186, a second uncrewed Soyuz, this time designated Kosmos 188, was launched. Barely an hour later, these two spacecraft completed a totally automated rendezvous and docking, the first time such a thing had been done without a pilot!

Today's 'Victor Meldrew' moment: Seeing yet another social media post about how 'people are only today learning how such-and-such really happened'. There are ALWAYS people learning things for the first time today, tomorrow or any given day. Today's example involves learning where the Titanic sank.

Human Spaceflight: 27 Oct 1967. The Soviets launch what is officially designated Kosmos 186. This turns out to be an uncrewed Soyuz launch, with a spacecraft modified after the disaster of Soyuz 1. This time it enters orbit and deploys its solar panels correctly.

62 years since millions of UK viewers first heard two of the most iconic sounds in TV history: that theme tune and the TARDIS. For a show that was at one point only guaranteed a 13-week run it's not done too badly! At this point I cannot imagine what my life would have been like without it.

The third part of my missing episodes podcast will drop at midday. There’s a lot of it :)
AND it’s got Russell T Davies’ choices.

Human Spaceflight: 08 Sep 1967. Exploration of the lunar surface by probes continues as Surveyor 5 is launched on this day, successfully landing in the Sea of Tranquility a few days later. Apollo 11 would land just a few miles from Surveyor 5. Almost 20,000 images were returned.

How many more times? There is NO reliable way to identify a trans person by appearance, and NO sensitive way to question any person about if they have a cock or not (which is what it boils down to). This will harm anyone who does not conform to gender stereotypes. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Trans people could be barred from services based on appearance
The new code of practice on access to single-sex services cannot gain legal force until it gets sign-off from ministers.

Human Spaceflight: 01 Aug 1967. The Lunar Orbiter series comes to an end with the launch of Lunar Orbiter 5. Altogether they have managed to map 98% of the lunar surface in unprecedented detail. Among the images this probe took were those of the future landing site for Apollo 11.

Human Spaceflight: 04 May 1967. NASA continues mapping the lunar surface with Lunar Orbiter 4. Despite a few technical issues, this probe manages to photograph almost all of the near side and a little of the far side. It also got a lovely picture of a crescent moon with a crescent Earth behind it.

Human Spaceflight: 23 Apr 1967. The year started badly for NASA. Sadly, it would be no better for the USSR. Soyuz 1 lifted off on this day with Vladimir Komarov as the pilot. Things went wrong almost immediately, and Komarov died the following day when the parachutes failed to open after re-entry.

Human Spaceflight: 17 Apr 1967. Continuing their efforts to understand the lunar surface better before landing with a crew, NASA sends Surveyor 3 to the Moon. The probe lands in the 'Ocean of Storms' and sends back many monochrome and colour images of the surface via its TV camera.

Human Spaceflight: 10 Mar 1967. Kosmos 146 is launch on a Proton rocket, later revealed as a test flight of a Zond spacecraft. Zond was a simplified Soyuz craft that could potentially carry cosmonauts on a circumlunar trip. The test appears to have been successful though it didn't go to the moon.

Human Spaceflight: 07 Feb 1967. The third unmanned Soyuz test flight, listed only as Kosmos 140, is best by problems when the spacecraft fails to maintain the correct orientation for its solar panels to power it properly, uses excessive fuel to try and orient itself, and lands short after re-entry.

Human Spaceflight: 05 Feb 1967. Lunar Orbiter 3 continues the photographic reconnaissance of the lunar surface to identify future landing sites, with resolution down to 1m. Among the over 550 images returned was one that showed Surveyor 1 sitting on the surface, where it had been since May 1966

Human Spaceflight: 27 Jan 1967. Apollo 1. At 6.31pm during a routine ground test, an electrical fault ignites a fire that quickly spreads across the spacecraft interior. Unable to escape due to the inward-opening hatch, the crew of Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffe are dead 30 seconds later.

Human Spaceflight: 14 Dec 1966. A second attempt at an uncrewed Soyuz launch goes badly wrong. At ignition the engines shut down. Just under half an hour later the automatic escape rockets fired, which led to a fire on the rocket that eventually blew it up. Three men lost their lives as a result.
