Download or read book Gorby and the Lady Astronaut written by and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-26 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bonnie Pandya, the author of this book, is the mother of an astronaut, Suni Williams. While her daughter served aboard the International Space Station (ISS) for nearly six months in 2006-2007, Bonnie would regularly create short stories about the antics of their beloved pets. When Bonnie completed each story, she would email them to Suni aboard the ISS. Suni then would read them aloud to the rest of the crew of the ISS before they all retired for bed. Bonnie wrote nearly three dozen of these amusing stories. On the heels of Suni's (her name is pronounced "Sunny") 2020 mission which she will command, Bonnie decided to release the stories in the form of a children's book. The stories have been edited for girls and boys from seven years-of-age and above. This children's book has been fully-illustrated with inclusive artwork, and it features an addendum of real-life "snapshots" of Suni' and many of the characters illustrated in the stories. It also has a Glossary-of Terms written in plain language for the young reader.The book was written to be both educational and entertaining. Specifically, it offers the perfect complement to middle school instruction designed around the inaugural mission of NASA's new Boeing "Starliner" capsule (Crew Space Transportation, CST-100,) which is scheduled to be launched for the first time to the ISS in late 2020 or early 2021.

In this uplifting memoir, the former NASA astronaut and professional athlete offers an examination of the intersecting role of community, determination, and grace that align to shape our opportunities and outcomes.

His personal insights illuminate how grit and grace, are the keys to overcoming adversity and rising to success.
Download or read book Sigh, Gone written by Phuc Tran and published by Flatiron Books. This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For anyone who has ever felt like they don't belong, Sigh, Gone shares an irreverent, funny, and moving tale of displacement and assimilation woven together with poignant themes from beloved works of classic literature. In 1975, during the fall of Saigon, Phuc Tran immigrates to America along with his family. By sheer chance they land in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, a small town where the Trans struggle to assimilate into their new life. In this coming-of-age memoir told through the themes of great books such as The Metamorphosis, The Scarlet Letter, The Iliad, and more, Tran navigates the push and pull of finding and accepting himself despite the challenges of immigration, feelings of isolation, and teenage rebellion, all while attempting to meet the rigid expectations set by his immigrant parents. Appealing to fans of coming-of-age memoirs such as Fresh Off the Boat, Running with Scissors, or tales of assimilation like Viet Thanh Nguyen's The Displaced and The Refugees, Sigh, Gone explores one man’s bewildering experiences of abuse, racism, and tragedy and reveals redemption and connection in books and punk rock. Against the hairspray-and-synthesizer backdrop of the ‘80s, he finds solace and kinship in the wisdom of classic literature, and in the subculture of punk rock, he finds affirmation and echoes of his disaffection. In his journey for self-discovery Tran ultimately finds refuge and inspiration in the art that shapes—and ultimately saves—him.

Download or read book The NASA Archives written by Piers Bizony and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 1, 1958, the world's first civilian space agency opened for business as an emergency response to the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik a year earlier. Within a decade, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, universally known as NASA, had evolved from modest research teams experimenting with small converted rockets into one of the greatest technological and managerial enterprises ever known, capable of sending men to the moon aboard gigantic rockets and of dispatching robot explorers to Venus, Mars, and worlds far beyond. In spite of occasional, tragic setbacks in NASA's history, the Apollo lunar landing project remains a byword for American ingenuity; the winged space shuttles spearheaded the International Space Station and a dazzling array of astronomical satellites and robotic landers, and Earth observation programs have transformed our understanding of the cosmos and our home world's fragile place within it. Throughout NASA's 60-year history, images have played a central role. Who today is not familiar with the Hubble Space Telescope's mesmerizing views of the universe or the pin-sharp panoramas of Mars from NASA's surface rovers? And who could forget the photographs of the first men walking on the Moon?

Download or read book Through the Lens of Ourselves written by Suni Miller Zmich and published by Shiitake Press, LLC. This book was released on 2021-06 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adoption is an amalgam of grace, fear, joy, anger, and love, which pushes us to know WHY we exist. Through the Lens of Ourselves captures 34 stories of the adoption triad: adoptee, adoptive parent, and birth parent. This collection portrays the life-long effects as biology and circumstance collide - the craving for identity, the yearning for normalcy, and the grieving over that which was lost. Fewer than 5% of Americans are adopted, yet nearly all Americans know someone touched by adoption. By illustrating the primal nature of human relationships, these poignant narratives draw in adoption community members as well as those who do not have a direct connection to adoption.
