PDF-(BOOS)-Reflections from Earth Orbit (Apogee Books Space Series)

A tremendous fascination and curiosity with space travel will be instilled in readers of this memoir by a former NASA astronaut In a vivid recount of several events on board the space shuttles Endeavor and Columbia the astronaut reflects on his life in space emphasizing the routine aspects of the experience that earthbound people can relate to and appreciate While his reflections intend to unravel the essence of living in space they are also the starting point of a parallel tale that describes the authors perseverance in overcoming lifes obstacles and becoming one of the select few to venture beyond the limits of Earth. If you can’t take a little bloody nose, maybe you had better go back home and crawl under your bed. It’s not safe out here! It’s wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross, but it’s not for the timid. – Star Trek. Interim Meeting. U of A Phase A2 Work Update.

Chronicles all of the details of the space shuttle Columbia\'s first five flights. The complete story of the Saturn V Rocket is presented in this detailed history of each stage of the construction and testing process. From the drawing boards of Boeing, North American Aviation, and the Douglas company, through shipping materials on massive Super Guppy air transports, prototype engine firings, and wind tunnel tests, and finally to the launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center, every stage of the planning, production, and actual flight of the rocket is meticulously documented. The lives of the first 45 rocket stages built for the Saturn project are charted, including unprecedented information on the dates, times, and performance parameters for each stage, the facilities used in production, rare documentation of the stages that malfunctioned and the engines that exploded along the way. Details on the development of the F1 and J2 rocket engines and recently declassified photographs of the Saturn project are also included. Originally published in 1931, this is the first book ever written in the English language to address the notion of spaceflight as a serious possibility. Guenter Wendt\'s autobiography is a ground shaking document of the glory days of manned spaceflight, told from the perspective of the launch pad.
