A quick reminder of where we are...we posted this picture on our website in 2005, that was two years before the Aries IV plans started to be revealed. This beautiful model of Shuttle C was on display in Titusville, we decided to put it in the VAB. It even had the worm logo! Finally...maybe force meets inertia. Good luck Artemis team!

Hello space fans. Just a quick FYI. We finally decided to activate SSL on our website. We never really needed it because we don't store or process any customer information on our shopping cart (absolutely ALL of that is handled by Paypal) but we've noticed that a lot of new browsers are giving security alerts when they encounter other domains in the page code (such as Apogeebooks.com, apogeespacebooks.com etc) so we've stripped all of the internal code back to cgpublishing.com. All of the other domain names will still work. But if you were wondering why you were getting those alerts, that's why. Just want to stress again, we store absolutely NONE of your payment details at our end. If you purchase from our cart, when you check out, it takes you to Paypal to process credit cards etc. Thanks for your support! New space (and music) books coming soon!
