Infinity Beckoned illuminates a critical period of space history when humans dared an expansive leap into the inner solar system. With an irreverent and engaging style, Jay Gallentine conveys the trials and triumphs of the people on the ground who conceived and engineered the missions that put robotic spacecraft on the heavenly bodies nearest our own. These dedicated space pioneers include such individuals as Soviet Russia's director of planetary missions, who hated his job but kept at it for fifteen years, enduring a paranoid bureaucracy where even the copy machines were strictly regulated. Based on numerous interviews, Gallentine delivers a rich variety of stories involving the men and women, American and Russian, responsible for such groundbreaking endeavors as the Mars Viking missions of the 1970s and the Soviet Venera flights to Venus in the 1980s. From the dreamers responsible for the Venus landing who discovered that dropping down through heavy clouds of sulfuric acid and 900-degree heat was best accomplished by surfing to the five-man teams puppeteering the Soviet moon rovers from a top-secret, off-the-map town without a name, the people who come to life in these pages persevered in often trying, thankless circumstances. Their legacy is our better understanding of our own planet and our place in the cosmos. Purchase the audio edition.Binding Type: Hardcover

Nice body care need not cost a fortune.
Scent: Palo Santo, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The Cremo product line is a favorite and Palo Santo is one that tops the list for us. We like the Cremo body care line's execution, variety, quality, anti- elitist price and inclusive availability. Palo Santo is softly sweet with just enough cardamom spice and papyrus for a round, smooth aroma with no sharp edges to annoy those around you. Just enough of the Cremo body wash frangrance lingers to keep you feeling fresh all day. This product lathers nicely and is neither too heavy nor too thin to use with a traditional wash cloth, loofah, natural or synthetic sponge, pouf or bath brush. Cremo body wash makes a nice foot soak and hand wash too. We fill a bottle to keep by the kitchen and bathroom sinks. Our wish is that the company produces large, minimally packaged refills to spare the plastic. Until then, please reuse and / or recycle the containers. NOTE: When selecting fragrance, ignore marketing and wear what appeals to you. Treat gender, age, price category snobbery and other target market gimmicks as irrelevant. Wear / use what you like, and not because it is purported to be "exclusive", someone told you to or that you cannot possibly be cool / alluring / beautiful / handsome or appear wealthy or celebrity-adjacent without it.

Scent: Bourbon & Oak, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The scent is incredible — warm, slightly sweet bourbon with a rich oak finish. It smells high-end without being overpowering. It lingers just enough to notice but doesn’t clash with cologne.
Performance-wise, it delivers. It cleans thoroughly without stripping and leaves hair soft and manageable instead of dry or heavy. For a 2-in-1, it actually conditions well — which isn’t always the case with combo products.
I originally bought it as part of a gift set for my father, and he’s since had me repurchase it four times — so that says everything.
If you like warm, masculine, slightly woody scents and want something that performs as good as it smells, this one truly hits the ball on the head. Definitely a repeat buy.

Husbands Favorite!
Scent: Bourbon & Oak, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This brand is my husband's favorite! He uses the shampoo/conditioner and the body wash. He says it lathers and suds up pretty well. The smell is great and lasts a good while. The only thing is he wishes it came in a bigger bottle.

Next Level "Hotel" smells
Scent: Bourbon & Oak, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have been searching for a shampoo that not only leaves my hair feeling clean, but also smells great. Cremo has frequently checked a lot of boxes, and this shampoo is no exception.I adore the bourbon and oak scent. Despite giving some hotel shampoo vibes, it smells great once in the air, and I feel good showering with it. It leaves my hair feeling clean and no oily, but still soft. I have thicker hair, but this works in easily. Bottle came perfect, no leaks! Only complaint is I would like a larger bottle with a pump to user easier in the shower!
