KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, NASA GP-969 SPACEPORT NEWS INDEX DECEMBER 1962 - FEBRUARY 1972 KENNEDY SPACE CENTER LIBRARY APP (Mrs'JL. B. Ruase KSC Librarian / Date /"' FOREWORD The preparation of an index may appear to some people as a fruitless exercise in the compilation of past events. To some others, however, to index is to capture for reference the march of events. This Index, compiled by Mrs. Olive C. Ankersen, Documents Department, KSC Library, Kennedy Space Center, Florida, was prepared with this in mind. The "Spaceport News Index" is intended to serve as a ready reference tool for the names, places and events that comprise the history of John F. Kennedy Space Center. The period covered by the Index is December 1962 through February 1972, The arrangement is alphabetical by subject; under each subject, entries are arranged alphabetically by title. To facilitate use, cross references and scope notes have been provided. ABBREVIATIONS ADMINISTRATION DIRECTORATE Skylab has own set of odd initials.

  • Sam Davis • Critical Essay by Elizabeth Howie
    weep not for the future: the photographs of Sam Davis • Critical Essay by Elizabeth Howie Sam Davis’s work, in particular images from his portfolios Tragic Heroes, Rocketships, and Tin, consists of a variety of approaches to exploring our longstanding fascination with outer space. Utilizing such devices as pinhole, medium format and 4x5 cameras, as well as processing ranging from daguerreotypes to tintypes, silver gelatin, and Chromira C-prints, Davis shows us our memories, dreams, and fantasies about our hopes and fears of the universe around us. Tragic Heroes, consisting almost entirely of panoramic shots, brings us into the proximity of solitary moon-suit clad figures. They are reminiscent of spacemen of cinema and television, such as the 1939 Buck Rogers movie serial, the 1952 serial Commando Cody, Earth vs. the Flying Saucers of 1956, 1959’s When Worlds Collide, or the all-too-earnest space travelers of the original Star Trek, which ran from 1966-69. The gadgets and spacecraft (also made by Davis) evoke even earlier examples, such as ray-guns from the 1936 film Flash Gordon. The above classic early sci-fi vehicles utilized special effects, which now appear quite clunky, to try to demonstrate the wonders and threats of the future.[1] Despite their retro stylings, Davis’s heroes have arrived in that future, and strangely, things have not advanced all that much. But some things are definitely different. Countering the myth of the NASA astronaut as idealized he-man, someone who possesses “the right stuff,”[2] Davis’s figures—and perhaps" spacemen" is a better word than "astronauts," to suggest their relation to science fiction— demonstrate instead a kind of wistful vulnerability we would never have been permitted to observe in the Apollo age.

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. Page 1 President Clinton, STS-95, John Glenn’s flight, viewing location; roof of the Launch Control Center. The following is a photo from collectSPACE, with Bill and Hillary Clinton on the left.
