As an aerospace engineering student, I gained historical background about my profession. I hope there will be a second part of this course.

I really enjoyed this course and learned a lot from it. Information for the course is provided in different formats which is nice too. The links to old footage and audio from spaceflight in the past were fascinating. I wouldn't mind doing this course again in a few years time when my memory of the specifics has faded!

Fascinating overview but was hoping for a bit more depth. Did learn new things though, particulalry about the not so well publicised Apollo missions and the early Russian efforts. A couple of quiz questions were marking right answers as wrong but course team got them sorted fairly quickly

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 It is very simple and it feels that the content could be updated a bit, especially with the NASA websites that have been archived.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.

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

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

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

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