  • A Life in Space” As Requested
    These are sections of “A Life in Space” as requested. They have been selected at random and edited slightly so they flow better. On 12 April 1961, my mother, Marnie and I took a trip to London on the train from Epsom, Surrey to Waterloo Station. After doing some shopping, Mum and I went to a Lyons Corner House at the end of the Strand close to Trafalgar Square. I ate a huge lemon meringue pie with a thick layer of meringue that seemed to be a foot tall. As the years go by, the dimensions of the meringue topping reach epic proportions in my mind. Mum and I then walked to Leicester Square Underground station. Outside the station, the first editions of the Evening News and Evening Standard were being sold. The billboards displayed the words: “MAN IN SPACE”. This 12 year old was hooked. This is the story of a space nut. In the beginning, God created the heaven and the Earth - and I was born on the Ewell by-pass. My blast-off occurred on 14 April 1948 at the Wilmer Lodge nursing home just up the road from Ewell village, near Epsom, Surrey, England. Margaret Josephine “Marnie” Furniss gave birth to a 10.5 pounder, her third son in a row. At the time, at White Sands, New Mexico, USA, a two stage Bumper Wac - a former German V2 missile with a Corporal upper stage - was being prepared for a 79 mile altitude flight on America’s road towards exploring space. My father, John, was an ancestor of Raffe (Ralph) Furnisse (Furniss), who was born in Ewell in 1585, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1 and two years before Mary Tudor lost her head.

All links were working at the time I completed this Spaceport News Summary. From The January 4, 1968, Spaceport News From page 1, “Gemini 9 a Big Attraction As Tourists Throng the VIC”. A portion of the article reads “While it’s been more than a year and a half since the Gemini 9 spacecraft carried Astronauts Tom Stafford and Gene Cernan around the earth during their three- day flight, this vestige of the highly successful Gemini program is still very much a part of the space age. The Gemini 9 currently is capturing the attention of thousands from its new birth in the Spaceport’s Visitors Information Center… …Gemini 9 went on display last October…”.

    1972 Spaceport News Summary Followup From the Last Spaceport News Summary I am putting text I add or someone else provides, in a blue font, versus Spaceport News text, in black. I am putting hot links in purple font. Thank you Greg Koch! There are some responses and feedback to share which follow but first, since the President and Vice President were at KSC for the Demo-2 launch, Armando Oliu got Pete Chitko and I going on past launch visits by US Presidents. Thanks Armando and Pete! As of the launch of Demo-2, three in-office Presidents have watched a launch on- site. Here are some facts about Presidents who have watched launches. President Nixon, Apollo 12, viewing location; viewing area/stands north of the VAB. The below photo on the left is a screen grab from some Apollo 11 footage, showing the VAB viewing area where President Nixon was. This area is currently in the vicinity of C3PF. This viewing area has not been used since Apollo, to the best of my knowledge. The above mentioned footage is at the following site, no sound, including brief views of Johnny Carson and Jack Benny. The second photo below shows President Nixon, his wife Pat to his left in the photo, his daughter Tricia on the lower left and Thomas Paine, then NASA Administrator, holding an umbrella on the right.

A kilo of cocaine costs about £350 when it leaves Columbia. But by the time it re-appears on the streets of a major city like London, the value has soared to over £50,000 a kilo. My calculator won’t quite stretch to working out what percentage increase that is - but it’s a lot! Now there are special reasons for such a massive mark-up. The product is illegal for one thing. It has to pass through many hands to get to the end user, and every one of them runs the risk of getting locked up for a very long time if they get caught, or shot by rival dealers. They want a big return to compensate for that risk. But that’s only part of the story. You see what really ramps up the price is that supply is limited, and you simply can’t manufacture cocaine in the UK. Cocaine is still illegal in Columbia, but it’s relatively cheap. Why? Because there’s plenty of it, and it’s easy to make some more.

  • Conference Paper
    A Shuttle Full of Flags: Use of Flags in the Space Shuttle Program Anne M. Platoff Paper presented to the 25th International Congress of Vexillology (ICV25) in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, 5 August 2013. Publication pending in the conference proceedings. Abstract The Space Shuttle Program was the longest-running human spaceflight program of the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Spanning three decades (1981- 2011), the program consisted of 135 flights using a fleet of orbiter spacecraft. Throughout the history of the program, flags were used in many different contexts. The most traditional was using a flag as a national identifier on spacecraft, payloads, and spacesuits. In addition, flag motifs were used on the mission emblems designed by shuttle crews to represent their flights. On the emblems, flags indicated the nationalities of individual crew members, the use of hardware contributed by various nations, and the increasingly international nature of the program as it evolved from an American space program to a collaborative program where many nations cooperated to conduct individual missions and to construct the International Space Station. The Space Shuttle Program also spawned new flags to represent each orbiter, specific payloads, or selected missions. Finally, the Space Shuttle was the largest spacecraft designed to ferry both astronauts and equipment into orbit. This provided a unique opportunity to carry large numbers of flags into orbit. This paper will discuss these varied uses of flags during the Space Shuttle Program, documenting specific flags and demonstrating the dynamic role of flags in human spaceflight. Flags and Insignia on the Space Shuttle Orbiters One of the most traditional uses of flags in NASA’s human spaceflight program has been in the role of a “national identifier”.

  • Apollo Program
    Apollo program The Apollo program, also known as Project Apollo, was the third United Apollo program States human spaceflight program carried out by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), which succeeded in landing the first humans on the Moon from 1969 to 1972. First conceived during Dwight D. Eisenhower's administration as a three-man spacecraft to follow the one-man Project Mercury which put the first Americans in space, Apollo was later dedicated to President John F. Kennedy's national goal of "landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth" by the end of the 1960s, which he proposed in an address to Congress on May 25, 1961. It was the third US human spaceflight program to fly, preceded by the two-man Project Gemini conceived in 1961 to extend spaceflight capability in support of Apollo. Kennedy's goal was accomplished on theApollo 11 mission when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed their Apollo Lunar Module (LM) on July 20, 1969, and walked on the lunar surface, while Michael Collins Country United States remained in lunar orbit in the command and service module (CSM), and all Organization NASA three landed safely on Earth on July 24. Five subsequent Apollo missions also landed astronauts on the Moon, the last in December 1972. In these six Purpose Manned lunar landing spaceflights, twelve men walked on the Moon. Status completed Program history Apollo ran from 1961 to 1972, with the first manned flight in 1968. It [1] achieved its goal of manned lunar landing, despite the major setback of a Cost $25.4 billion (1973) [2] 1967 Apollo 1 cabin fire that killed the entire crew during a prelaunch test.
