Infinity Beckoned illuminates a critical period of space history when humans dared an expansive leap into the inner solar system. With an irreverent and engaging style, Jay Gallentine conveys the trials and triumphs of the people on the ground who conceived and engineered the missions that put robotic spacecraft on the heavenly bodies nearest our own. These dedicated space pioneers include such individuals as Soviet Russia's director of planetary missions, who hated his job but kept at it for fifteen years, enduring a paranoid bureaucracy where even the copy machines were strictly regulated. Based on numerous interviews, Gallentine delivers a rich variety of stories involving the men and women, American and Russian, responsible for such groundbreaking endeavors as the Mars Viking missions of the 1970s and the Soviet Venera flights to Venus in the 1980s. From the dreamers responsible for the Venus landing who discovered that dropping down through heavy clouds of sulfuric acid and 900-degree heat was best accomplished by surfing to the five-man teams puppeteering the Soviet moon rovers from a top-secret, off-the-map town without a name, the people who come to life in these pages persevered in often trying, thankless circumstances. Their legacy is our better understanding of our own planet and our place in the cosmos. Purchase the audio edition.Binding Type: Hardcover

Good value, fit 2023 CRV 1.5L
These filters arrived wrapped in plastic in a cardboard box, shipped in a standard Amazon box.
Initial quality seems very good. I've previously used store brand filters and oem filters in our 2023 CRV 1.5L, and these look comparable. They fit fine. If you have not changed your filters, there are good youtube videos that show how to do it, the CRV is well supported and pretty straightforward without having to buy a bunch of special tools.
If you don't want to spend $100 at the dealership, these are a good value and only take about 5-10 minutes total to change once you have done it a few times. First time out, give yourself 30 minutes and be patient!

Fits Perfectly. Can't beat the price. Don't Hesitate....
Actually this filter combo fits my customers car perfect. Some after market filters you have to finagle a little to make them fit, however this engine air filter and cabin filter fit perfect...Great deal for both filters.
