Hello to all

15 years ago this forum member @Graham1973 (also known as @graham2001 elsewhere) started a monumental project.
To make a long story short... to feed the Orbiter addon community, he started combing NASA NTRS for its most interesting Pdf, related to the Apollo-era.
It was a fantastic project when you think about it. Imagine: NASA thousands of paper studies turned into Orbiter addons and CGI. Kind of a dream come true for us, space nerds.
The end result was that truly awesome page http://nassp.sourceforge.net/wiki/Future_Expansion
Alas, a dark day of 2012, Senator Franz Wolf in his crusade against China, got NTRS shut down and reborn (killing all the links) only because he tracked down a supposed chinese spy - whose laptop in the end proved he had spied, NOT NASA NTRS but PORN SITES.
(facepalm)
NASA put back the NTRS in order - but all the links were dead: either documents removed (facepalm) or re-created differently (double facepalm).
Luckily, the Internet Archive saved the day. Behold: @Graham1973 page as it stood early May 2012, just before what I call the Blitz Wolf.

ALL THE PDFS CAN BE DOWLOADED AGAIN - YEEEPEEEEEE !!!!
I will copy-paste that message at NASAspaceflight forums, too. Feel free to do the same at every space forums that count: the more, the merrier.
Cheers !
