The celebrated English auto repair publisher Haynes is now offering an “Owner’s Workshop Manual” for Apollo 11’s Saturn V rocket, command module, service module, and lunar module. That’s good nerdery.



Also available, manuals for Baby, Woman, and Man.

about

Explainist is a blog about the art of explaining. Check out the first post to get a sense of the blog mission and see why I'm such an explanation nerd.

I earned my explaining merit badge as one of the original writers and the mid-aughts Editorial Director for HowStuffWorks.com. These days, I'm an independent Web project consultant, freelance writer and part-time crazy dog person. You can learn more about me here.

Fellow explainist and citizen on patrol Dave Coustan also shows up to explain now and then. You can learn more about Dave here.

If you have any thoughts about Explainist, I'd love to hear from you. You can reach me at tom at explainist dot com

Thank you for visiting,
