Hello Folks,
I am pleased to announce the general availability of "Ambassadors from Earth". This is a nontechnical and lighthearted review of the early and often left-footed days of unmanned space exploration. It covers Sputnik I through the Voyager 2 Neptune Encounter. I have to offer many original interviews, including James Van Allen, George Ludwig, Jim Burke, Charley Kohlhase, Bud Schurmeier, and Charles Sonett, among others. I have many previously unpublished pictures. I have excerpts of Ludwig's personal journal from the Explorer I-IV days, never seen in print before now. I also offer an in-depth examination of the whole "Flandro/Minovitch" controversy, including original interviews with both of those gentlemen. You can find out more at: http://www.nebraskapress.unl.edu/product/A...rth,674133.aspx For part of the last five years, I've wondered if it would stand the test of the UMSF'ers. Please let me know what you think! Sincerely, Jay Gallentine |
