Space Race: The Epic Battle Between America and the Soviet Union for Dominion of SpaceIn many ways, the tensions of the Cold War were epitomized by the struggle for dominance in outer space. But for decades we only knew part of the story of this clash between the United States and the Soviet Union.

In many ways, the tensions of the Cold War were epitomized by the struggle for dominance in outer space. But for decades we only knew part of the story of this clash between the United States and the Soviet Union. That all changed after the downfall of Communism, when decades of formerly classified files unmasked the true heroes and villains behind one of the most exciting -- and frightening -- races in history.

Historian Deborah Cadbury brings this tale to life in a fascinating story that takes a behind-the-scenes look at both superpowers. At the center of Space Race are Werner von Braun, the media-friendly former Nazi scientist who led the American rocket design team, and Sergei Korolev, the chief Soviet designer and former political prisoner whose identity was a closely guarded state secret. Cadbury has unearthed many documents that were previously unknown, even to the Soviet government, to tell a story that is sure to rewrite the history of space exploration.

Deborah Cadbury is an Emmy award-winning science producer for BBC TV. She is also the highly-acclaimed author of The Lost King of France, Terrible Lizard: The First Dinosaur Hunters and Dreams of Iron and Steel.

" A] wonderfully written account of the Cold War dash to the Moon ... Cadbury skillfully weaves together politics, technology and biographical detail to produce a gripping tale of the moves, countermoves, bluffs and intrigues that defined this ruthless struggle." -- Slava Gerovitch, Moscow Times--Kirkus Reviews (starred)

Holds it all and easy to use!
Style: 16 Quart Drain Pan
I bought this oil drain pan when preparing to teach myself how to change my own oil on my Toyota Tundra 1794. Yes. Youtube and I…we be mates. Anyway! This drain pan easily held all of the old nasty oil and made it easy to complete a dirty job in a relatively clean way!

Good
Style: 16 Quart Drain Pan
I have had no issues with leaking. Just double check the o rings are good and in place and you shouldn't either. Although I'll be honest it's pretty over priced. You can go to home depot or o Reilly and find the same exact thing for a third of the price. All the same it's holding my oil just fine.

Not so good - oil splashes all over !!!
Style: 16 Quart Drain Pan
I am SO glad I just saw this pop up in my "purchased" items category...I am not only a Do it yourselfer but I also perform service work for a group of clients as well and I have to say I had a version of this before and threw it out after many years of service due to the fact it started dripping/leaking and I did not want to waste time trying to find it! with that said I purchased this and "What a mistake" every time I change the oil if it does not hit exactly the right angle or area the oil just ricochets off the surface and splashes all over the garage surface (especially when working with 0w20 type oil - thin)...I think this one will be seeing the can soon as well even after only 30-40 uses!!

Rare Small Leaks
Style: 16 Quart Drain Pan
These work well but i have noticed that they leak in small amounts from time to time. Can be a little annoying when transporting used oil or coolant to be recycled.
