In the process of researching a book, one learns a great deal. I'm going to share the most interesting links (to me at least), every so often.
The Golden Record of the Voyager Probes
This site has all the content that we've sent off on Voyagers 1 and 2. Listen to Bulgarian folk music (or perhaps a war song. I can't tell, but Izlel Je Delyo Hagdutin, track 23, is incredible). See a picture of a man grilling fish (picture 80). Check it out, you won't be sorry.
China's Space Plane Program (PDF)
A study from 2011. It covers the suspiciously military-seeming nature of Chinese space planes. It looks at current projects like the Shenlong "Divine Dragon", and where they could go.

Ford Class Aircraft Carriers
They have stealth features, carry drones, and are expected to mount lasers. These are to remain in use till 2110. Important to bear in mind for near-future writing.
