A space traveler lives out his recurring nightmare foretelling the impending destruction of Earth—and the horrific fate of humankind. Raised by his grandparents on a Midwestern farm, Jag is selected as one of twelve prodigy students enrolled in the first-ever Space University on board the International Space Station. There he competes against fellow classmates to create an invention that will propel humanity into intergalactic travel. Overcome with jealousy, a fellow classmate sabotages Jag’s creation and sends him spiraling into deep space, where he is enslaved by ruthless pirates, sent to prison for a crime he didn’t commit, and put in a position where he ultimately holds the salvation of Earth in his hands. Can Jag overcome his bitterness and forgive those who harmed him in time to save humanity?
Gus Grissom
Author: Ray E. BoomhowerPublisher: Indiana Biography Series
ISBN: 9780871951762
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Selected as one of NASA's original Seven Mercury Astronauts, Gus Grissom would go on to become the first man to fly in space twice and later give his life to the NASA space program. This book unearths the story of Indiana's first astronaut by offering a more complete picture of Grissom's life and character and the events that led up to his death. In the most comprehensive biography on the subject yet, Gus Grissom: The Lost Astronaut offers a more personal side and fuller picture of Grissom's life and character. Hours were spent interviewing Grissom's family and friends, who were all more than eager to talk about the astronaut, sharing in the belief that this story is one worth telling to a new generation that knows little about his illustrious career.
Inventing the American Astronaut
Author: Matthew H. HerschPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137025298
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
Who were the men who led America's first expeditions into space? Soldiers? Daredevils? The public sometimes imagined them that way: heroic military men and hot-shot pilots without the capacity for doubt, fear, or worry. However, early astronauts were hard-working and determined professionals - 'organization men' - who were calm, calculating, and highly attuned to the politics and celebrity of the Space Race. Many would have been at home in corporate America - and until the first rockets carried humans into space, some seemed to be headed there. Instead, they strapped themselves to missiles and blasted skyward, returning with a smile and an inspiring word for the press. From the early days of Project Mercury to the last moon landing, this lively history demystifies the American astronaut while revealing the warring personalities, raw ambition, and complex motives of the men who were the public face of the space program.
