Описание: On January 28, 1986, NASA space shuttle orbiter Challenger lifted off into the clear blue skies over Florida on mission STS-51L, carrying a crew of seven, including teacher Christa McAuliffe. Just seventy-three seconds into the launch, a massive explosion tore Challenger apart. This newly revised edition of Teacher in Space tells the story of how McAuliffe graduated from her role as a much-loved high school teacher to occupying a seat on the veteran orbiter’s tenth and last flight into space.
McAuliffe’s dream was to carry out science projects while in orbit around the earth that were to be telecast live to school students across the United States. Her dream came to a sudden and tragic end that terrible day. Nevertheless, that ambition to educate from space remained an inspiration to many and, in her name and those of the Challenger crew, manifested itself in the establishment of hundreds of youth education programs and institutes of learning across America and around the world.
Teacher in Space is a remarkable story of renewed faith, cooperation, and hope for the future and of a dedicated and much-loved teacher who came to symbolize the best of human achievement.

United States Space Force: Project Jupiter is a stand-alone novel. On June 25, 2018, right after President Donald J. Trump announced he would pursue establishing the United States Space Force, author Paul D. Escudero saw how enormous that decision was and immediately started writing this book.
The United States Space Force concept goes beyond NASA, manned space flight, and American and International Space programs. There is a great possibility that aliens exist on multiple planets scattered throughout the universe. America is great at mitigating every threat known to mankind, except the alien threat.
United States Space Force is a fictional tale that describes how this all manifested into a galactic-bound space force.
About the Author
Paul D. Escudero started his journey in electronics in 1972. His initial training included vacuum tubes and transistor circuits because they existed in large numbers at the time. A lot of thoughts that go into this story are derived from the fact that Escudero worked on equipment used in the Venus Space probe, Space Shuttle, nuclear-powered submarines, ships, aircraft carriers, and certain other aircraft. He continues dabbling in electronics.

Must read for all Space Force personnel and highly recommended for anyone interested in its activities, per the Introduction:
"This Chief of Space Operations' Planning Guidance (CPG) provides foundational direction for the Space Force to advance National and Department of Defense (DoD) strategic objectives. This authoritative Service-level planning guidance supersedes previous guidance and provides the context and outline for our new Service design. In some areas, the CPG will define specific actions, timelines and offices of primary responsibility. In other areas, the CPG describes my intent and desired outcomes. This guidance is intended to empower space professionals at all echelons to take initiative consistent with their delegated authority and mission focus to implement Service priorities. To enable initiatives, I will also specify several efforts that should be deprioritized to generate resources for reinvestment.
This CPG communicates my intent and defines the capabilities and culture the USSF will pursue over my tenure. I will update intent, expand on guidance and review the progress of transformation initiatives via Force Design guidance annually. I expect all echelons to read, understand and implement this guidance.
This durable hardcover case laminate edition offers a high quality reading experience that can be a preferable alternative to flipping through dogeared printouts or squinting at a PDF on the big screen.

Описание: This engaging and unprecedented work captures the compelling story of John F. Kennedy's role in advancing the United States' space program, set against the Cold War with the Soviet Union. The stunning collection of history and photographs crafted by authors John Bisney and J. L. Pickering illustrates Kennedy's close association with the race to space during his legendary time in office. In addition to the exhaustive research and rare photographs, the authors have also included excerpts from Kennedy's speeches, news conferences, and once-secret White House recordings to provide the reader with more context through the president's own words. While Kennedy did not live to see the fruition of many of the endeavors he supported, his legacy lives on in many ways--many of which are captured in this important work.
