New edition 9.09.2018

Toutatis and Gironde created dozens of add-ons with new space vehicles.
The guides for the SPACE EXPLORATION series have lost relevance. It requires fast update of the guides of the SPACE EXPLORATION series.
The update can be made by the user himself, without reinstalling the entire graphical interface or Celestia itself.

First, I recall the procedure for working with the Guides. If you have Lua Universal Tools v5.0 beta (LUT-5) installed, then when you turn on Celestia, the LUT-5 graphical interface is located in the upper right corner in a compact form:



The green arrow indicates the [>] button, which visualizes the mini-buttons that include themed guides. Click it (step 1).
On the mini-buttons are inscriptions of 1-4 characters, indicating the theme of the guidebooks. For an inexperienced user these symbols may not be clear.
Press the [Guide] button (step 2), an information panel will appear with the decryption of the symbols on the mini-buttons.

Choose a thematic guide, for example, The Road to Space. Click on the mini [Te1] (step 3). The Road to Space guide appears: it's an interactive panel:



When you press a key, for example [Appolo-Soyuze-19], the following spacecraft will appear:
