NASA-the National Aeronautics and Space Administration created in
the wake of the Space Act-has and continues to accomplish those
precepts every day. With many hundreds of satellites launched into
space and close to 200 human spaceflights, NASA is a proven leader
in space exploration. Most of the US space exploration efforts have
been led by NASA, including the Apollo moon-landing missions, the
Skylab space station, and later the Space Shuttle. Currently, NASA
is supporting the International Space Station and is overseeing the
development of the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, the Space
Launch System and Commercial Crew vehicles. NASA is also
responsible for the Launch Services Program which provides
oversight of launch operations and countdown management for
unmanned NASA launches. The Historical Guide to NASA and the Space
Program contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an
extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 500
cross-referenced entries on space missions, astronauts, technical
terms, space shuttles, satellites and the international space
station. This book is an excellent access point for students,
researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about NASA and space
exploration.
Written specifically for stay at home moms and dads, Domestic
Commando extends the courtesy of validation and respect for those
who have made the very personal decision to be home to raise their
families. Carpenter virtually redefines "stay-at-home" as she
embraces a pro-active, focused (it's all about family), and
light-hearted approach to full-time, work-at-home parenting. This
is the go-to book for helpful tips, facts and recipes that never
forgets that your greatest asset is a sense of humor. Whether
you're staying home for a few weeks or a few years, Domestic
Commando is a must-have for anyone looking to enlist and take
charge of their stay-at-home parenting decision by wearing the
badge with honor.
