Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Out of this World tells the stories-ranging from hair raising to humorous-of people and animals who worked to develop powerful liquid-fuel rockets, determine the hazards of cosmic radiation, examine the physical and psychological effects of weightlessness, test spacecraft components and safety equipment, devise and implement procedures to evaluate astronaut candidates, search the skies for destinations, scrutinize UFO appearances and possible alien landings on Earth, train astronauts for Moon missions, and-ultimately-construct the first purpose-built spaceport for recreational and commercial flights. New Mexico has provided fertile soil for cultivating space travel for fun and profit.What People are Saying about this Book:'We must rekindle the sense of adventure and the irresistible urge for exploration beyond this planet that took us to the Moon and, I hope, will take us to Mars. In her entertaining, inspiring Out of this World, Loretta Hall reveals the grit, determination, daring, and down-to-earth humanness of adventurers who brought us to the verge of making space travel available to everyone.'Buzz Aldrin, Gemini and Apollo Astronaut'I knew Spaceport America was an extension of important New Mexico space history. I had heard the names and I knew the basic storylines: Goddard, von Braun, Stapp andHam. But I didn't know, in detail, the drama, the intrigue, and the level of risk and passion until I read Loretta Hall's Out of this World: New Mexico's Contributions to Space Travel. Iknow it's a cliché, but here goes: I couldn't put this book down. I was absolutely riveted by the very human stories. Goddard battling tarantulas and rattlesnakes in Roswell. Kittinger'sparachute line wrapping his neck on his first jump. Ham dodging the reporters and cameras after his successful launch, flight and recovery. And Stapp's eyes filled with blood after his record-breaking rocket-sled ride. Most importantly, this book truly establishes New Mexico's vital role in the history of space travel. It makes me very proud to be a New Mexican and honored to help carry on the state's leading role through our work at Spaceport America.'Rick Homans, Founding Chairman, New Mexico Spaceport Authority'This is a well-written, engaging and informative look at New Mexico's past, present, and future ties to space. A special tip of the helmet visor goes to Hall for her excellent research and writing skills. It's a must-have book to carry along on any voyage to New Mexico, the signpost up ahead that marks the history-making and future-creating role of the state.'Leonard David, Space Journalist.…
