  • Mr. James Desantis, Astronaut Memorial Foundation
    To: Mr. James DeSantis, Astronaut Memorial Foundation NASA Kennedy Space Center November 11, 1996 "Veterans Day" is a good moment to reflect on people who have died in the service of the United States, and in particular, on people who have died in the service of the manned space activities of this country. We are still trying to establish in your mind that Major Robert Lawrence was one such person. Regarding your correspondence with Mr. Roger Blanchard of the AF Personnel Center, I want to make sure you have the "big picture" regarding whether or not he should be formally recognized as a "dead American astronaut" on the "Astronaut Memorial Foundation". A recent exchange of letters between you and the AF indicates to me that, while you are being technically accurate, you both are still missing the point. Whether or not Major Lawrence ever earned (or deserved) "Air Force Astronaut Status" is irrelevant, since that is not what is necessary to gain recognition by the AMF, as you realize. Neither USAF Major Charles Bassett, nor USAF Captain Theodore Freeman, ever earned that status, yet they are both on the memorial BECAUSE THEY WERE KILLED IN TRAINING FOR THE ASTRONAUT PROGRAM. So they were undeniably "real astronauts" even if they did not have formal USAF "astronaut status". Unless it is your position that both Bassett and Freeman are on the memorial erroneously and should be removed (and of course you don't advocate that, nor do I), you must accept that Major Lawrence's case is a precise analog of theirs.

  • Skylab: the Human Side of a Scientific Mission
    SKYLAB: THE HUMAN SIDE OF A SCIENTIFIC MISSION Michael P. Johnson, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2007 APPROVED: J. Todd Moye, Major Professor Alfred F. Hurley, Committee Member Adrian Lewis, Committee Member and Chair of the Department of History Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Johnson, Michael P. Skylab: The Human Side of a Scientific Mission. Master of Arts (History), May 2007, 115pp., 3 tables, references, 104 titles. This work attempts to focus on the human side of Skylab, America’s first space station, from 1973 to 1974. The thesis begins by showing some context for Skylab, especially in light of the Cold War and the “space race” between the United States and the Soviet Union. The development of the station, as well as the astronaut selection process, are traced from the beginnings of NASA. The focus then shifts to changes in NASA from the Apollo missions to Skylab, as well as training, before highlighting the three missions to the station. The work then attempts to show the significance of Skylab by focusing on the myriad of lessons that can be learned from it and applied to future programs. Copyright 2007 by Michael P. Johnson ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis would not be possible without the help of numerous people. I would like to begin, as always, by thanking my parents. You are a continuous source of help and guidance, and you have never doubted me. Of course I have to thank my brothers and sisters.

  • Project Gemini Sets the Pace
    Project Gemini Sets the Pace A rare unnumbered Morris W. Beck cacheted cover is shown for primary recovery ship USS Lake Champlain’s recovery of the Gemini 2 spacecraft from the Atlantic Ocean on January 19, 1965. by Steve Durst Copyright © 2008 by Steve Durst, all rights reserved. Preface If Project Mercury proved that Astronauts can achieve space flight, then its successor, Project Gemini, proves that Astronauts can live and work in space. Project Gemini additionally gives us the vantage point of seeing our solar system and the Earth traversing the universe in a fragile “spacecraft.” All of us are, then, to some degree, Astronauts on Spaceship Earth. At once, we are both part of Earth and journeying as a traveler through the far reaches of the Universe. As in my previous work, Project Mercury Points the Way, written earlier this year, I have relied heavily on original NASA source documents, historical accounts, and NASA photographs to highlight key Gemini precursor events, significant Gemini events, and development of an overall synopsis for each of the twelve flights of Project Gemini as seen through NASA documents, postal history, and astrophilately. I also have relied heavily upon NASA historians Barton Hacker and James Grimwood’s excellent work for Project Gemini, On the Shoulders of Titans: A History of Project Gemini, underwritten by NASA and published in 1977. The authors’ work is still very pertinent today and remains an epic work for this important space program that positioned the Apollo Program to send Astronauts to the Moon. As before, I am indebted to my core group of fellow stamp and cover collectors in both the Universal Ship Cancellation Society and the American Philatelic Society and American Topical Association’s Space Topics Study Group.

He became a central figure in New York’s cultural institutions, leaving his presidency of the Juilliard School to become the first director of Lincoln Center in 1961. All the while he was active as a composer. He received the inaugural Pulitzer Prize for music in 1943. He shared a fondness for wind music with his Juilliard contemporaries Vincent Persichetti and Peter Mennin, from which came many classic works for wind band. Schuman was a major power in American music in the mid-20th century, and in 1989 he received the Kennedy Center Honor “for an extraordinary lifetime of contributions to American culture.” Chester is the third movement of the New England Triptych, a collection of three pieces based on tunes by the colonial-era New England composer William Billings.
