The site has explanatory commentary and personal accounts regarding certain relevant radio transmissions. I recommend exploring it if you enjoy this sort of stuff. You might find interesting things, such as this quote, one of my favorites:
"I was absolutely dumbfounded when I shut the rocket engine off and the particles that were going out radially from the bottom of the engine fell all the way out over the horizon, and when I shut the engine off, they just raced out over the horizon and instantaneously disappeared, you know, just like it had been shut off for a week. That was remarkable. I'd never seen that. I'd never seen anything like that. And logic says, yes, that's the way it ought to be there, but I hadn't thought about it and I was surprised."
