Oplysning om flertydighed |
Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk. Judy A. Rumerman's U. S. Human Spaceflight: A Record of Achievement, 1961-1998 and U. S. Human Spaceflight: A Record of Achievement, 1961-2006 are sufficiently different that NASA assigned them different numbers in the "Monographs in Aerospace History" series (#9 and #41, respectively).
Especially -- though not solely -- for that reason, they should be treated as separate works. | |
