Good overall course. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because of dead links in some required readings and typos in some slides. The course could use a refresh to ensure that all links are current and that mistakes in the presentation are corrected.

There are many broken links on the PDFs for each unit. There are a few significant errors on the quizzes. Enjoyed the course. Would have enjoyed hearing the history of the Space Shuttle program and the beginning of the International Space Station program.

Really fun and interesting class if you want to learn a lot more details about a fantastic time in science history. Videos could be improved somewhat avoiding repeating information included in lecture pdfs. Other than that, everything was great!

Its very wonderful course to learn about the entire history of how the space station was created and achieved huge success for space exploration. I am really useful by this course and got more knowledge about the space station.

It's a pretty interesting course. It is very simple and it feels that the content could be updated a bit, especially with the NASA websites that have been archived. Overall, it was worth the knowledge gained.

Excellent material although I found the interface between the course and tests to be clunky.

It would have been interesting to her more about the Soyuz missions.

A good introduction to the History of Spaceflight, was great to learn more about how the mankind could to start exploring the space.

Good course, would be perfect with a second part (space disasters, apollo 13 in detail, the 80's and the Shuttle program)!

nice videos, good compilation of materials that make learning about this part of history easier than if on own

very informative. seemed to be some information repeated during videos. preferred shorter videos.

Many interesting knowledge about the history of space exploration, perhaps a little more details.

A good course, but a few slight errors and the lack of the last modules leave it at 4/5 stars.

This was very enjoyable to learn about and to get your foot into the human spaceflight world.

Good course overall but there are many links that no longer work and need to be updated.

good clips but annoying music almost in the foreground, hard to hear voices sometimes.

Enjoy the subject matter very much. I didn't care for the layout at all.

At the rate we are probing space, I think we should all take this course.

I'm very happy to learn this interesting course and I've enjoyed it well

Clear easy overview with great archival video

Great! Now I can understand what happen

interesting, but choppy presentations

Beautiful Content...really like it.

Good Course

This is an older course, obviously. Some of the forums have had no entries for over 2 years. There is no lecture portion to this course, just reading online and watching historic video clips. Many of the online links no longer work. Much of the video is of very poor quality - even the video that is not limited by the technology of the time - some of it was recorded off of a television screen using a video camera pointed at the TV. This course needs to be updated badly. The information contained in the course is still interesting and valid, but the way it is presented is sadly lacking. That being said, I still enjoyed the course and I found it very informative and historically significant.

Great topic and content. But there are several things that make this course cumbersome. It would be better to have a few shorter videos than to have one file of 30 to 60 minutes. Also please do not use hardcoded subtitles in the video, because there already is a option to enable subtitles. The last recommendation is to not mix videos and resources. Use the videos to lecture material, to narrate a story or show clips, but put all the resources (mandatory or optional) on a separate HTML page (as other courses usually do).

Thank you for making the history of spaceflight come to live for me!
