  • Igniting Innovations JSC Column
    National Aeronautics and Space Administration Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center June | 2010 Igniting innovations JSC Column season is upon us once Hurricane again, and I want to remind our Johnson Space Center community that now is the time to get prepared. The JSC Hurricane Prep Kit 2010 brochure lists actions you should seriously consider. Hurricane Ike hit us hard just two years ago, but Mother Nature doesn’t remember and seldom takes a break, so we need to get ready for every hurricane season. I have a few personal observations after sitting through Hurricane Alicia in 1983 with two small children. The storm severely damaged our home and left us without power for more than two weeks in the August heat. I would advise anyone with NASA PHOTO small kids to strongly consider early evacuation when a hurricane of any type threatens. Fortunately, my daughter and her husband took our two little grandchildren to Dallas during Hurricane Ike, so they missed the 110-mph winds that can be frightening to anyone—especially young ones. On the cover: If you decide to evacuate, don’t wait—do it as soon as it’s feasible. At JSC we will err on the side of safety in granting liberal leave and closing the center as soon as we possibly can, but you should also The Pad Abort 1 test provided consider setting aside a few days of “hurricane leave” to allow yourself an early evacuation. Unfortunately, a gorgeous view for spectators we can’t always assume there will be adequate warning and time for an evacuation.

    NASA Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center News Vol.22 No.8 April 29, 1983 National Aeronautics and Space Administration President requests new stationstudy President Reagan last week re- quested the Senior Interagency Group (SIG) for Space to conduct a high level study to establish the basis for an Administration deci- sion on whether to proceed with NASA development of a perma- nently based, manned space station. The interagency group, chaired by National Security Advisor Judge William P. Clark, will consider four scenarios for possible paths the nation's space program might take following completion of the devel- opment of the Space Shuttle pro- gram. The scenarios include: the Shuttle and unmanned satellites, the Shuttle and unmanned plat- forms, the Shuttle and an evolu- tionary space station, or the Shuttle and a fully functional space station. The issues addressed by the study will include how a manned space station would contribute to U.S. leadership in space and how an international program could best fulfill national requirements versus other means of satisfying them. Foreign policy and national security implications, as well as overall economic and social im- pacts, will also be considered. A working group, chaired by NASA and including Department of State, Department of Defense and other representatives of the SIG for Space, has been estab- lished to conduct the study.
