"A Kansan Conquers the Cosmos" presents the story of Alan Glines,
who began working with NASA in 1966 and was part of Mission Control
during the height of the space program. Full of fun and excitement,
Glines's autobiography offers a first-person glimpse into four
decades of the field of aerospace.
He traces his own history from the beginning of his career
through to the present and shares interesting anecdotes and
histories of NASA and the American space program. From his days a
science fiction-obsessed youth who ran a theater as if it were
mission control to his various experiences in NASA, Glines attained
the Mission Control spirit and dedication that he has lived for
decades-that is, being on the playing field and being all you can
be, all the time. Over four decades, he has acquired an
extraordinarily rich tapestry of experience in the aerospace worlds
of research and development, and command and control, exploring no
fewer than seven geographical and intellectual career paths over
the years.
As a man whose career, teaching, and speaking efforts continue
to inspire others today, Glines's story is a detailed and unique
and the aerospace industry in America from the inside.
