Wonders all around : the incredible true story of astronaut Bruce McCandless II and the first untethered flight in space / by McCandless, Bruce,III,author.;

"It's one of the most powerful and popular images in the history of space exploration: an astronaut in a snow-white spacesuit, untethered and floating alone in an expanse of blue. Bruce McCandless II is the man in that spacesuit, and Wonders All Around: The Incredible True Story of Astronaut Bruce McCandless II and the First Untethered Flight in Space is the thoroughly engrossing, extensively researched story of his inspiring life and groundbreaking accomplishments, as told by his son, a gifted writer and storyteller. Bruce McCandless II, a Navy fighter pilot, joined NASA in 1966. He was Houston's capsule communicator-the person talking to the astronauts-as Apollo 11's Neil Armstrong made his giant leap for mankind in 1969. McCandless supported subsequent Apollo flights and developed technology and techniques his fellow astronauts used during the Skylab program, working behind the scenes until he was chosen to ride Challenger into space on the tenth shuttle mission. When he stepped into the cosmos to test the Manned Maneuvering Unit, he became a space flight icon. But the road to that incredible feat was not the sure bet it should have been for such a gifted man. Bruce McCandless II was an astronaut for 24 years, and his story encompasses the development of the space agency itself-the changes in focus, in personnel, in approach, and in the city of Houston that grew up with it."--Publisher's description.

Space mission art : the mission patches & insignias of America's human spaceflights / by Price, Luke Wesley,author.;

Since 1961, our country has launched men and women into the hostile vacuum of space. For the adventures on which they were about to embark, astronauts, associates and designers commemorated each mission by creating a unique insignia that the crew could wear with pride on their spacesuits. Space Mission Art collects every one of these iconic designs, plus sticker sheets, to celebrate the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab and Space Shuttle programs. They are presented in full color and glorious detail alongside the stories behind their design. There are also crew photos, mission facts and trivia that reveal the human face of space exploration, capturing the comedy, tragedy, bravery and beauty of these extraordinary adventures into the unknown.

Cernan, Michael Collins, Charles Conrad Jr., Richard F. Gordon Jr., Alan L. Bean, John L. Swigert Jr., Stuart A. Roosa, James B. Irwin, T. Kenneth Mattingly II, Charles M. Duke Jr., Harrison H. Schmitt.In July 1969, the space race ended when Apollo 11 fulfilled President John F. Kennedy's challenge of "landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth." No one who witnessed the lunar landing will ever forget it. Twenty years later, Al Reinert constructed a documentary that imparts the unforgettable story of the twenty-four astronauts who traveled to the moon as part of NASA's Apollo program, told in their words and in the voices, using the images they captured. With its awe-inspiring, other-worldly footage and a haunting atmospheric soundtrack by Brian Eno, For All Mankind stirs us with a profound sense of compassion for the "pale blue dot" that is our home, and it remains the most radical, visually dazzling work of cinema that has been made about this earthshaking event.4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray, region A; 1.33:1 aspect ratio; System requirements: 4K ultra HD blu-ray player required. 4K television required for full 4k UHD effect; can also be viewed using a 1080 television without full 4K UHD effects.Blu-ray; NTSC, region A, anamorphic wide screen (1.33:1) presentation; Dolby Digital Audio 5.1; requires Blu-ray player.

Now, you can do better than that! You can actually make what they eat in your own kitchen! And while you're waiting for your delicious (hah!) space food to cook, you can read about the history of the space program, space food preparation methods, and even get to know many of the astronauts that have dined in space. Did they find the food appetizing? What did they miss most when they were in space? How has NASA try to improve the food over the years? Charles Bourland is a retired long-time director of the NASA space food program, and Gregory Vogt, also a former NASA education specialist, helped train the astronauts. Both veterans of the U.S. space program have combined here to provide authentic recipes not only of foods that were actually served during various space missions (including Skylab, Apollo, the space shuttle, and the International Space Station) but also some of the astronauts' favorite recipes and even space recipes from famous TV chefs Rachael Ray and Emeril Lagasse! You will be amused and amazed at the information you find here. And you will be ready to impress your friends and family with your new culinary skills. Finally, you will have a much better understanding of what it really is to live in space, for weeks or even months at a time. Any volunteers for a trip to Mars? If you are a food lover, maybe not after you read this book and serve up some of its culinary treat.
