Pull out Bill Nye worksheet . From the acclaimed author of Imagine Wanting Only This--a timely and moving meditation on isolation and longing, both as individuals and as a society.There is a silent epidemic in America: loneliness. Shameful to talk about and often misunderstood, loneliness is everywhere, from the most major of metropolises to the smallest of towns.In Seek You, Kristen Radtke\'s wide-ranging exploration of our inner lives and public selves, Radtke digs into the ways in which we attempt to feel closer to one another, and the distance that remains. Through the lenses of gender and violence, technology and art, Radtke ushers us through a history of loneliness and longing, and shares what feels impossible to share.Ranging from the invention of the laugh-track to the rise of Instagram, the bootstrap-pulling cowboy to the brutal experiments of Harry Harlow, Radtke investigates why we engage with each other, and what we risk when we turn away. With her distinctive, emotionally charged drawings and deeply empathetic prose, Kristen Radtke masterfully shines a light on some of our most vulnerable and sublime moments, and asks how we might keep the spaces between us from splitting entirely. As command module pilot for the Apollo 15 mission to the moon in 1971, Al Worden flew on what is widely regarded as the greatest exploration mission that humans have ever attempted. He spent six days orbiting the moon, including three days completely alone, the most isolated human in existence. During the return from the moon to earth he also conducted the first spacewalk in deep space, becoming the first human ever to see both the entire earth and moon simply by turning his head. The Apollo 15 flight capped an already-impressive career as an astronaut, including important work on the pioneering Apollo 9 and Apollo 12 missions, as well as the perilous flight of Apollo 13.Nine months after his return from the moon, Worden received a phone call telling him he was fired and ordering him out of his office by the end of the week. He refused to leave. What happened in those nine months, from being honored with parades and meetings with world leaders to being unceremoniously fired, has been a source of much speculation for four decades. Worden has never before told the full story around the dramatic events that shook NASA and ended his spaceflight career. Readers will learn them here for the first time, along with the exhilarating account of what it is like to journey to the moon and back. It\'s an unprecedentedly candid account of what it was like to be an Apollo astronaut, with all its glory but also its pitfalls. Eleven Seconds into the Unknown: A History of the Hyper-X Program is a sequel to the authors first book on the X-43A/Hyper-X project, Road to Mach 10: Lessons Learned from the X-43A Flight Research Program. \"
The inside, lesser-known story of NASA\'s boldest and riskiest mission: Apollo 8, mankind\'s first journey to the Moon on Christmas in 1968. A riveting account of one of the most dangerous space flights ever, from the

New York Times

bestselling author of

Shadow Divers.

In early 1968, the Apollo program was on shaky footing. President Kennedy\'s end-of-decade deadline to put a man on the Moon was in jeopardy, and the Soviets were threatening to pull ahead in the space race. By August 1968, with its back against the wall, NASA decided to scrap its usual methodical approach and shoot for the heavens. With just a few months to prepare, the agency would send a crew to the Moon. In a year of historic violence and discord--the Tet offensive, the assassinations of MLK and RFK, the Chicago DNC riots--the Apollo 8 mission was a stark test of what America could do. With a focus on the three astronauts of Apollo 8, and their wives and children, Rocket Men is a vivid, gripping, you-are-there narrative that shows anew the epic danger involved, and the singular bravery it took, for man to leave Earth for the first time--and to arrive at a new world.\" The sixth edition of this classic, indispensable reference work continues to provide a comprehensive collection of the most commonly used engineering data specifically related to aerospace design. The AIAA Aerospace Design Engineers Guide, Sixth Edition has fully adopted the AIAA policy of using SI (International System of Units) as the primary system of units for its technical publications. Where practical, all reference material, data, formulas, and graphs now use SI units as the primary system of units or contain SI in addition to the units used in prior editions. Developed by aerospace professionals, the AIAA Aerospace Design Engineers Guide is a reliable source of information that aerospace students and professionals alike keep nearby for quick, convenient everyday reference. Examines the many facets and puzzles of our Moon, including its phases and eclipses, its early discoveries and modern exploration, and its possible origins and future prospects.
