Pascal Lee Wins Children’s Book Prize The Prize was awarded on February 14, at the Association’s Annual Meeting in By: Seth Shostak San Jose, California. 23rd January 2015 Human journeys to Mars could become a reality in the 2030s, says NASA. Con- sequently, some of today’s kids already have their eyes set on becoming to- morrow’s Mars explorers. To help them prepare for this epic voyage, SETI In- stitute scientist Pascal Lee has written Mission: Mars, a nonfiction children’s book that reads like a training manual. The AAAS is the world’s largest general scientific society and the publisher of the renowned journal Science. Its annual Science Books & Films (SB&F) prize, co-sponsored by Subaru of America, Inc., celebrates outstand- ing works that foster an understanding and appreciation of science in young readers. Mission: Mars earned the top prize in the Middle Grades category. Published by Scholastic, Mission: Mars is geared for kids ages 8 to 13. Besides being scientifically probing and technically rigorous, the book is written in lively language and is richly illustrat- ed. The book also draws on ongoing research at NASA and elsewhere to make human missions to Mars a reality, including Lee’s own efforts at the SETI Institute and at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California. Pascal Lee was born in Hong Kong and grew up in France. He studied physics and geology at the University Pascal Lee, a planetary scientist at the SETI Institute located in NASA Research Park of Paris, and got his doctorate in astron- authored the award winning children’s book ‘Mission: Mars’.

Sometime in late 2016, a small robotic spacecraft the size of a coffee table will attempt to soft land on the surface of the moon. If it does so successfully, the new MX-1 lunar lander spacecraft from Moon Express would not only win the $30 million Google Lunar X PRIZE — it would also help to usher in a new era of commercial space exploration. Soft-landing on the moon is a feat that has only been accomplished before by three superpowers – the United States, Russia and China.

Vasper’s patented technology is based on liquid cooled compression cuffs that are placed over the body’s upper arms and thighs. The cooled compression cuffs place a gentle compression over the arms and legs, which increases the lactic acid burn feeling in the muscles that is typically experienced only with high intensity exercise. The user then performs exercise using a Vasper enhanced elliptical trainer and custom designed software protocols for 20 minutes. Photo Credit: Vasper
