  • Social, Cultural, and Educational Legacies
    NASA Reflects America’s Changing Opportunities; Social, NASA Impacts US Culture Education: Inspiring Cultural, and Students as Only NASA Can Educational Legacies Social, Cultural, and Educational Legacies 459 NASA Reflects The Space Shuttle, which began flying in 1981 and ushered in an entirely new human spaceflight program, was a watershed for cultural diversity America’s within NASA and had substantial cultural impact outside the realm of Changing spaceflight. In the 1950s and 1960s, opportunities for American women and minorities were limited as they were often segregated into pink Opportunities; collar and menial jobs. NASA’s female and minority employees faced NASA Impacts similar obstacles. The Space Shuttle Program opened up opportunities US Culture for these groups—opportunities that did not exist during Projects Mercury and Gemini or the Apollo and Skylab Programs. NASA’s transformation was a direct consequence of a convergence of events Jennifer Ross-Nazzal Shannon Lucid that happened in the 1960s and 1970s and continued through the Helen Lane following 3 decades. These included: public policy changes instituted on the national level; the development of a spacecraft whose physical capabilities departed radically from the capsule concept; and an increase in the number of women and minorities holding degrees in the fields of science and engineering, making them attractive candidates for the space agency’s workforce. Over the course of the program, the agency’s demographics reflected this transformation: women and minorities were incorporated into the Astronaut Corps and other prominent technical and administrative positions. The impact of NASA’s longest-running program extends beyond these dramatic changes.

Thomas 281-483-9018 Typist: DA8/Karen.J. Chisholm 281-483-1091 281-483-5988 IN MEMORIAM Bob Legler April 4, 1927 - March 16, 2007 Bob Legler, the originator of this Space Shuttle Missions Summary Book, was born a natural Corn Husker and lived a full life. His true love was serving his country in the US Coast Guard, Merchant Marines, United Nations, US Army, and the NASA Space Programs as an aerospace engineer. As one of a handful of people to ever support the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Space Shuttle, and International Space Station missions, Bob was an icon to his peers. He spent 44 years in this noble endeavor called manned space flight. In the memorial service for Bob, Milt Heflin provided the following insight: “Bob was about making things happen, no matter what his position or rank, in whatever the enterprise was at that time…it might have been dodging bullets and bombs while establishing communication systems for United Nations outposts in crazy places…it might have been while riding the Coastal Sentry Quebec Tracking ship in the Indian Ocean…watching over the Lunar Module electrical power system or the operation of the Apollo Telescope Mount…serving as a SPAN Manager in the MCC (where a lot of really good stories were told during crew sleep)…or even while serving as the Chairman of the Annual FOD Chili Cook-off or his beloved Chairmanship of the Apollo Flight
