Ach ar an mbealach ar ais, tugann Seoirse faoi deara go bhfuil rud éigin amú – chas siad faoi dheis nuair ba chóir dóibh casadh faoi chlé, rud atá á dtabhairt níos faide ó bhaile.

  The Space Race - The History of...

  Today the Space Race is widely viewed poignantly and fondly as a race to the Moon that culminated with Apollo 11 “winning” the Race for the United States. In fact, it encompassed a much broader range of competition between the Soviet Union and the United States that affected everything from military technology to successfully launching satellites that could land on Mars or orbit other planets in the Solar System. Moreover, the notion that America “won” the Space Race at the end of the 1960s overlooks just how competitive the Space Race actually was in launching people into orbit, as well as the major contributions the Space Race influenced in leading to today’s International Space Station and continued space exploration.  
  	Of all the goals the Bolshevik Revolution aimed to bring about, perhaps nowhere were Russian promises delivered on more than in the success of the Soviet Space program of the 1950s and 1960s. As a result of Russian innovation and technology, but also due to incredible drive to modernize and compete with the United States for world power, Russia was finally and triumphantly modernized in the eyes of her own people and the world. Neil deGrasse Tyson recognized the Soviet legacy in space in his Space Chronicles, citing the Soviets’ “important measure[s] of space achievement: first spacewalk, longest spacewalk, first woman in space, first docking in space, first space station, longest time logged in space.”[1] 
  	In fact, the Soviet Union spent much of the 1950s leaving the United States in its dust (and rocket fuel). President Eisenhower and other Americans who could view Soviet rockets in the sky were justifiably worried that Soviet satellites in orbit could soon be spying on them, or, even worse, dropping nuclear bombs on them. Dovetailing off their success developing intercontinental ballistic missiles, the Soviets were the first to make enormous advances in actual space exploration.

  It is important for you to know that Yoga is a way of being in the world based on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali 
  There are people who approach the practice of Yoga, because they have seen other notable changes or someone has told you that the practice of Yoga is good, well, you don’t need to be a doubtful Thomas, as this book is embedded with all important and effective approach that will influence your yoga sutra of pantajali in no time. 
  But ... what is this Yoga, which is becoming so fashionable? And what are its origins 
  Yoga is an ancestral philosophy that was born in India about 5000 years ago. Our ancestors were people who retired in search of a connection and internalization, which has little to do with the way in which Yoga is practiced today in the West. 
  And this is not bad, life evolves and with it also changes around us to meet the needs of today's society. But I think it is important to take into account the origins of this discipline, because, at least for me, it makes a lot of sense to my practice. 
  When I talk about my practice, I don't mean just the time I spend on the mat moving my body or meditating, I mean everything that accompanies me throughout the day, from when I wake up until I go to bed. 
  Therefore, I want to transfer the teachings I have received about this way of being and being in the world, because knowing, even a little, its origin, you can better understand what you do or what is achieved with the constant practice of this discipline. That was the reason why this audiobook is birthed. 
  The Yoga Sutra of Patanjali also provide the method or the means to achieve said “goal” all these approaches are mentioned with quality pictures just for your perusal and fast understanding. 
  As you can see there are no secrets, everything is achieved through practice and more practice.
