This month we celebrate a bumper crop of space-related anniversaries with the 60th anniversary of human spaceflight, the 40th anniversary of STS-1 the first space shuttle mission and the 20th anniversary of Yuri's Night - The World Space Party.

This year also marks 40 years since the founding of 'The Space Association' as a public spin-off group from the Monash Astronautical Society at Monash University (prior to its incorporation as the Space Association of Australia Inc. in 1983) and the 30th anniversary of the first broadcast of The Space Show - our now weekly radio program broadcast on 88.3 Southern FM and streamed online.

Plus, we have a very limited number of Searching for Skylab Blu-ray Discs available for purchase at $35.00.
