Wayne Hale Helen Lane Executive Editor Chief Editor Kamlesh Lulla Gail Chapline Editor Editor An agency-wide Space Shuttle book project involving contributions from all NASA centers Space Shuttle book: September 2010 Wings In Orbit A new, authentic and authoritative book written by the people of the Space Shuttle Program • Description of the Shuttle and its operations • Engineering innovations • Major scientific discoveries • Social, cultural, and educational legacies • Commercial developments • The Shuttle continuum, role of human spaceflight Vision Overall vision for the book: The “so what” factor? Our vision is to “inform” the American people about the accomplishments of the Space Shuttle and to “empower” them with the knowledge about the longest-operating human spaceflight program and make them feel “proud” about nation’s investment in science and technology that led to Space Shuttle Program accomplishments. Vision (continued) Focus: • Science and Engineering accomplishments (not history or hardware or mission activities or crew activities) • Audience: American public with interest in science and technology (e.g., Scientific American Readership: a chemical engineer, a science teacher, a physician, etc.) Definition of Accomplishment: • Space Shuttle Program accomplishments are those “technical results, developments, and innovations that will shape future space programs” or “have affected the direction of science or engineering” with a focus on unique contributions from the shuttle as a platform. Guiding Principles: • Honest • Technically correct • Capture the passion of the NASA team that worked on the program Editorial Board “…to review and provide recommendations to the Executive Editor on the contents and the final manuscript…” Wayne Hale, Chair of Board Iwan Alexander Steven A.

    Latinxs in STEM: Ellen Ochoa Representation matters. “When a girl sees herself as a scientist, or a boy sees someone with his skin color as a law student, it plants a seed that this is possible.” Eva Longoria LEARNING OBJECTIVES This resource incorporates activities aligned to the following Common Core Standards: 1. Reading Standards for Informational Text: • Key Ideas and Details: Through the text and interview about Ellen Ochoa, students will analyze the evidence provided to iden- tify challenges Ochoa faced in addition to her inspiration, accomplishments and future goals.(1) “Cite textual evidence to sup- port analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text;” (2) ”Determine a central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details; provide a summary of the text distinct from personal opinions or judgments;” (3) ”Analyze in detail how a key individual, event or idea is introduced, illustrated and elaborated in a text (e.g. through examples or anecdotes).” 2. Writing Standards: • Text Types and Purposes & Production and Distribution of Writing: After reading the text and watching the video interview of Ochoa, students will need to select evidence from both sources to determine and articulate whether Ochoa should be con- sidered a hero. In their writing, students will need to demonstrate their organizational skills to clearly articulate theirpin o ions while also using evidence. (1) “Write arguments to support claims with clear reasons and relevant evidence;” (2) “Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization and style are appropriate to task, purpose and audience.” 3.

First, I would like to thank everyone for submitting your comments for presentation to the Special Baldwin County Planning and Zoning meeting that was held on June 19th, I was impressed by the number of responses that we received. I was afforded an opportunity to speak on behalf of the association and while I was not able to voice all your concerns, I feel that many of the “hot button” issues facing our District were brought up. We hope to see some new ordinances adopted by the County soon that will help to resolve some of the issues in our community. The Executive Board has been very busy in the past week and I expect we will have a few items to vote on at the coming meeting. As always, I encourage each member of our association to help spread the word about the Fort Morgan Civic Association. If your neighbors aren’t members yet, invite them to a meeting! I hope I will see you at our next meeting on July 8th.
