  • Pete Aldridge Well, Good Afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen, and Welcome to the Fifth and Final Public Hearing of the President’S Commission on Moon, Mars, and Beyond
    The President’s Commission on Implementation of United States Space Exploration Policy PUBLIC HEARING Asia Society 725 Park Avenue New York, NY Monday, May 3, and Tuesday, May 4, 2004 Pete Aldridge Well, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the fifth and final public hearing of the President’s Commission on Moon, Mars, and Beyond. I think I can speak for everyone here when I say that the time period since this Commission was appointed and asked to produce a report has elapsed at the speed of light. At least it seems that way. Since February, we’ve heard testimonies from a broad range of space experts, the Mars rovers have won an expanded audience of space enthusiasts, and a renewed interest in space science has surfaced, calling for a new generation of space educators. In less than a month, we will present our findings to the White House. The Commission is here to explore ways to achieve the President’s vision of going back to the Moon and on to Mars and beyond. We have listened and talked to experts at four previous hearings—in Washington, D.C.; Dayton, Ohio; Atlanta, Georgia; and San Francisco, California—and talked among ourselves and we realize that this vision produces a focus not just for NASA but a focus that can revitalize US space capability and have a significant impact on our nation’s industrial base, and academia, and the quality of life for all Americans. As you can see from our agenda, we’re talking with those experts from many, many disciplines, including those outside the traditional aerospace arena.

  • Nasa Johnson Space Center Oral History Project
    JOHNSON SPACE CENTER ORAL HISTORY PROJECT EDITED ORAL HISTORY TRANSCRIPT WILLIAM F. READDY INTERVIEWED BY REBECCA WRIGHT WASHINGTON, D.C. – 20 MARCH 2012 WRIGHT: Today is March 20, 2012. This interview with Bill Readdy is being conducted in Washington, D.C. for the Johnson Space Center Oral History Project. The interviewer is Rebecca Wright, assisted by Jennifer Ross-Nazzal. How did you become interested in becoming an astronaut? READDY: How I became interested in being an astronaut—when I was in elementary school, there was no such thing as astronauts of course. Starting out, John [H.] Glenn’s flight—I was about nine years. Up to that point though, we were around airplanes, and there was a geography book that they used in school that was the story of an airline pilot and his son that flew around to all kinds of exotic places. That got me interested in geography and maps and flying, and we knew lots of fliers. My dad was a flier in Korea in the [U.S.] Navy, so aviation was something that always interested me. In the early ‘60s, all of a sudden there’s the Space Age. Not just the Sputnik orbiting piece of metal up there, but people, and that got me very very interested. I kept on following that, and when I was in high school we landed on the Moon. Then we landed on the Moon a few more times and then did the Skylab and Apollo-Soyuz [Test Project] as I was going through college. Then I was an aviator in the Navy, flying off aircraft carriers, and then a test pilot.

  • Amateur Radio on Human Spaceflight Missions—30 Years Frank H
    Amateur Radio on Human Spaceflight Missions—30 Years Frank H. Bauer, KA3HDO AMSAT V.P. for Human Spaceflight Abstract As I prepared for the enormous challenge of describing the entire 30 year history of Human Spaceflight Amateur Radio Operations in one paper, I was reminded of some sage advice I received 20 years ago from one of the founders and visionaries of this very unique and exciting endeavor. In 1993, as I prepared a forum presentation for the upcoming Dayton Amateur Radio Convention, I was lamenting to Roy Neal, K6DUE, about the challenges of stuffing all of our Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment (SAREX) efforts into a 30 minute presentation. Roy, a former NBC science correspondent and newscaster, retorted “Frank, if I can communicate all the world’s news in 30 seconds, then I am sure you will be able to present SAREX in 30 minutes.” With that unique perspective from a mentor I feel privileged to have known, I will do my best to live up to Roy’s expectations and provide a concise view of the highlights of ham radio development and operations on the Shuttle, Mir and ISS over the past 30 years. Throughout this paper, references will be cited to enable you to further delve into the comprehensive history of ham radio on human spaceflight. Please avail yourself to this more detailed information to learn more than I can convey in a few pages. Evolution of Amateur Radio on Human the Shuttle and Phase III sustained, long term Spaceflight operations on Mir and the ISS.

  • School Film Synopsis Space Station 3D
    IMAX SCHOOL FILM SYNOPSIS SPACE STATION 3D “Very few people can actually say they’ve been in space. But those who have been there - astronauts and cosmonauts – have said that IMAX is the next best thing to being there.” -Toni Myers, Producer, SPACE STATION 3D As astoundingly beautiful as it is technically dazzling, SPACE STATION 3D is the fi rst-ever IMAX 3D space fi lm. Audiences will travel 350km above Earth at 28,000km per hour to experience SPACE STATION 3D—the greatest engineering feat since landing a man on the Moon. Narrated by Tom Cruise, SPACE STATION 3D is the story of this unique partnership of 16 nations building a laboratory in outer space--a permanent facility for the study of the effects of long- duration exposure to zero gravity and the necessary fi rst step towards the global co-operative effort needed if man is to someday set foot on Mars. The new IMAX fi lm documents life aboard humanity’s new home-away-from-home. SPACE STATION 3D chronicles the challenges, setbacks and triumphs…and ultimately, the shared international victory of men and women whose dreams exceed the limits of life on this Earth. Produced by IMAX and sponsored by Lockheed Martin, in co-operation with the NASA, SPACE STATION 3D builds on the IMAX-Lockheed Martin-NASA heritage that began almost 20 years ago and has now produced fi ve major large-format IMAX fi lms such as The Dream Is Alive, Blue Planet, Destiny In Space and Mission To MIR that have been seen by 70 million moviegoers around the world.
