In PART 1 of this fictionalized series of that flight, the crew comes into first contact with alien extraterrestrials who discover the Atlantis space shuttle as they are finishing their last few orbits around Earth. If earthlings are stunned at this UFO sighting, the aliens are even more stunned. . .

Book Description
What is the future like? And I mean, way into the future, like 50,000 years. Henry Matthew knows. He was in stasis for 50,000 years until his revival. You might say he’s the luckiest man in the universe. By pure chance, his head along with all his thoughts and memories were protected and preserved, allowing him to stay alive for 50,000 years. * What does this future hold? * Total peace? * Long life? * Enlightened Democracy? . . . or something else. 50,000 years into the future Henry Matthews is about to embark on a journey of great discovery. What does this future think of him? Since their own ancient record of human existence only goes back 35,000 years, trillions of people are startled to discover the existence of an unknown ancient history when Henry awakens. However, some refuse to believe human history is older than 35,000 years, so that could only mean one thing. Henry Matthews must be something other than a human being. . . . but what? This novel also tries to establish relationships between 'ancient' and 'new' by comparing a few aspects of the different cultures and languages that you would expect to change over these vast periods of time: does the hero of the story manage to figure out what the new languages he encounters evolved from? PART 1 - How Henry Matthews finds his way to 50,000 A.D. PART 2 - How he is discovered and what anxiety and/or thrills it causes in these future societies in both a political and spiritual way. PART 3 - Henry is revived and his relationship to this new era is exposed. PART 4 - Opps! sorry no spoilers (but you will be intrigued by what happens). youtube promo video: http://youtu.be/hALUeaaRsgQ

Shuttle, Houston
Author: Paul Dye
Publisher: Hachette Books
ISBN: 0316454540
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 341
Book Description
From the longest-serving Flight Director in NASA's history comes a revealing account of high-stakes Mission Control work and the Space Shuttle program that has redefined our relationship with the universe. A compelling look inside the Space Shuttle missions that helped lay the groundwork for the Space Age, Shuttle, Houston explores the determined personalities, technological miracles, and eleventh-hour saves that have given us human spaceflight. Relaying stories of missions (and their grueling training) in vivid detail, Paul Dye, NASA's longest-serving Flight Director, examines the split-second decisions that the directors and astronauts were forced to make in a field where mistakes are unthinkable, and where errors led to the loss of national resources -- and more importantly one's crew. Dye's stories from the heart of Mission Control explain the mysteries of flying the Shuttle -- from the powerful fiery ascent to the majesty of on-orbit operations to the high-speed and critical re-entry and landing of a hundred-ton glider. The Space Shuttles flew 135 missions. Astronauts conducted space walks, captured satellites, and docked with the Mir Space Station, bringing space into our everyday life, from GPS to satellite TV. Shuttle, Houston puts readers in his own seat at Mission Control, the hub that made humanity's leap into a new frontier possible.

Pages : 332
Book Description
Addressing a field that has been dominated by astronomers, physicists, engineers, and computer scientists, the contributors to this collection raise questions that may have been overlooked by physical scientists about the ease of establishing meaningful communication with an extraterrestrial intelligence. These scholars are grappling with some of the enormous challenges that will face humanity if an information-rich signal emanating from another world is detected. By drawing on issues at the core of contemporary archaeology and anthropology, we can be much better prepared for contact with an extraterrestrial civilization, should that day ever come.

Comm Check...
Author: Michael Cabbage
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0743266986
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 358
Book Description
On February 1, 2003, the unthinkable happened. The space shuttle Columbia disintegrated 37 miles above Texas, seven brave astronauts were killed and America's space program, always an eyeblink from disaster, suffered its second catastrophic in-flight failure. Unlike the Challenger disaster 17 years earlier, Columbia's destruction left the nation one failure away from the potential abandonment of human space exploration. Media coverage in the immediate aftermath focused on the possible cause of the disaster, and on the nation's grief. But the full human story, and the shocking details of NASA's crucial mistakes, have never been told -- until now. Based on dozens of exclusive interviews, never-before-published documents and recordings of key meetings obtained by the authors, Comm Check takes the reader inside the conference rooms and offices where NASA's best and brightest managed the nation's multi-billion-dollar shuttle program -- and where they failed to recognize the signs of an impending disaster. It is the story of a space program pushed to the brink of failure by relentless political pressure, shrinking budgets and flawed decision making. The independent investigation into the disaster uncovered why Columbia broke apart in the sky above Texas. Comm Check brings that story to life with the human drama behind the tragedy. Michael Cabbage and William Harwood, two of America's most respected space journalists, are veterans of all but a handful of NASA's 113 shuttle missions. Tapping a network of sources and bringing a combined three decades of experience to bear, the authors provide a rare glimpse into NASA's inner circles, chronicling the agency's most devastating failure and the challenges that face NASA as it struggles to return America to space.

Book Description
Think the NSA is in trouble now?If dealing with espionage and politics all over the world is dangerous, try dealing with intelligent life from outer space. In 2018 A.D., National Security Agency (NSA) scientist Daniel Preadon travels through a wormhole and arrives in scientific heaven. When he gets there, he discovers medieval people who had arrived at the same location in 1200 A.D., but they think they are living in hell. * How does the NSA scientist handle this? The medieval people's descendants are surprised to hear Dan's assertions that they are not in hell but are living on a different planet. * So what's going on? As the medieval people's descendants gradually accept Dan's point of view, Dan discovers things that neither science nor the NSA can explain -- at least not yet. Maybe this will change if he gets back to earth and informs the NSA that there could be other intelligent life forms on this planet that might have had links with earth thousands of years ago -- or will it? To solve these mysteries, order a copy of NSA Wormhole Secrets today.

Vietnam and Other Alien Worlds
Author: Joe Haldeman
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1497692431
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
The author of The Forever War presents a collection of writings ranging from our past in Southeast Asia to our future among the stars. Nebula and Hugo Award–winning author Joe Haldeman burst onto the literary scene with the hugely popular novel The Forever War, but his career also took off on the strength of his short fiction. This brilliant collection brings together examples of his science fiction as well as his writing on Vietnam—and reveals the inexorable connections between the two. The works included in Vietnam and Other Alien Worlds are united by its title essay, in which Haldeman explains how his past informs his envisioned futures. One of these futures is a grouping of four stories from the Confederación universe, which includes his novels All My Sins Remembered and There Is No Darkness. An anthropological expedition goes awry as a research team’s subjects become murderous, and trade negotiations fall apart, comically lost in translation. The collection closes with one of Haldeman’s most affective works about Vietnam—the moving narrative poem “DX.” Vietnam and Other Alien Worlds proves to be an anthology as versatile and multifaceted as the author who wrote it. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Joe Haldeman including rare images from the author’s personal collection.
