The Apollo missions are long past, and hopefully soon a new history will be
created with humans on the Moon.
It is good to remember those that helped make it happen before and hopefully
this will interest the generation coming up to help in the next quest.

What are your kids thinking about?

NASA Ambassador of Exploration Award
The Ambassador of Exploration Award recognizes the sacrifices and
dedication of the Apollo, Gemini and Mercury astronauts. Each astronaut
or their surviving families will be presented a lunar sample, part of
the 842 pounds of moon rocks and soil returned during the six lunar
expeditions from 1969 to 1972.

An inscription describes the rock as "a symbol of the unity of human
endeavor and mandkind's hope for a future of peace and harmony."

NASA HONORS LEGENDARY FLIGHT DIRECTOR GENE KRANZ

TOLEDO, Ohio - NASA will honor Eugene Francis "Gene" Kranz with the
presentation of an Ambassador of Exploration Award for his
involvement in the U.S. space program. Kranz will receive the award
during a ceremony at 2 p.m. CST on Dec. 6 at the Central Catholic
High School. Kranz is a 1951 graduate of Central Catholic. The award
will remain at the Toledo school for display. Reporters who would
like to attend the ceremony should contact Michele Jurek
(mjurek@centralcatholic.org) at 419-255-2306, ext. 148, by 3 p.m. on
Dec. 5.

The award is a moon rock encased in Lucite and mounted for public
display as inspiration to a new generation of explorers who will help
return humans to the moon and eventually travel on to Mars and
beyond. The rock is part of the 842 pounds of samples collected
during the six Apollo lunar expeditions from 1969 to 1972.

NASA is giving the Ambassador of Exploration Award to the first
generation of explorers in the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo space
programs for realizing America's vision of going to the moon. NASA
also is recognizing several key individuals who played significant
roles in the early space programs.

Kranz worked on NASA's Mercury, Gemini and Apollo space missions.
Kranz was the lead flight director during the Apollo 13 mission. An
explosion aboard the spacecraft during Apollo 13 required Kranz and
other team members to help resolve the crisis and safely bring the
astronauts back to Earth. Kranz was a co-recipient of the
Presidential Medal of Freedom for the Apollo 13 Mission. For

*Failure Is Not an Option (Kindle Edition)*
by Gene Kranz

*Amazon.com*
In 1957, the Russians launched /Sputnik/ and the ensuing space race.
Three years later, Gene Kranz left his aircraft testing job to join NASA
and champion the American cause. What he found was an embryonic
department run by whiz kids (such as himself), sharp engineers and
technicians who had to create the Mercury mission rules and procedure
from the ground up. As he says, "Since there were no books written on
the actual methodology of space flight, we had to write them as we went
along."

Kranz was part of the mission control team that, in January 1961,
launched a chimpanzee into space and successfully retrieved him, and
made Alan Shepard the first American in space in May 1961. Just two
months later they launched Gus Grissom for a space orbit, John Glenn
orbited Earth three times in February 1962, and in May of 1963 Gordon
Cooper completed the final Project Mercury launch with 22 Earth orbits.
And through them all, and the many Apollo missions that followed, Gene
Kranz was one of the integral inside men--one of those who bore the
responsibility for the /Apollo 1/ tragedy, and the leader of the "tiger
team" that saved the /Apollo 13/ astronauts.

Moviegoers know Gene Kranz through Ed Harris's Oscar-nominated portrayal
of him in /Apollo 13/, but Kranz provides a more detailed insider's
perspective in his book /Failure Is Not an Option/. You see NASA through
his eyes, from its primitive days when he first joined up, through the
1993 shuttle mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope, his last
mission control project. His memoir, however, is not high literature.
Kranz has many accomplishments and honors to his credit, including the
Presidential Medal of Freedom, but this is his first book, and he's not
a polished author. There are, perhaps, more behind-the-scenes details
and more paragraphs devoted to what Cape Canaveral looked like than the
general public demands. If, however, you have a long-standing
fascination with aeronautics, if you watched /Apollo 13/ and wanted
more, /Failure Is Not an Option/ will fill the bill. /--Stephanie Gold/

From a very young age, Eugene F. Kranz developed a unique interest in
space flight. Born in Toledo, Ohio, on August 17, 1933, Kranz formerly
declared his interest in the subject by writing a high school thesis
which explored the possibilities of flying a single-stage rocket to the
Moon. However, after graduating from Parks College of St. Louis,
Missouri, with a BS in Aeronautical Engineering, Kranz's interests
became more down to earth as he shifted from space travel to aviation.

Many things going on and I have been remiss in mentioning them.

In the military, it was, "No Excuse Sir."

There are two nations with satellites going around the Moon.
Having waited for years to see it happen, the days slip by without a word.

When I can sneak in some time, have been communicating with David
Robertson in England about building artificial neural networks using
LabVIEW as a programming language. Time flies and my LabVIEW software
was at version 7.1 and it is now at version 8.5 so playing with 30 days

not. Still, thinking about what would be helpful if I was building a

Many of you are doing interesting things and a time to be excited. Just
not enough hours in the day.

Have a daughter in Iraq and her kids will be glad when she is home
safe. She lost three men in her platoon the other day. Nice that we
have the Internet and e-mail to communicate with but not the same as
being state side. Maybe those that go to a Lunar Colony or a Martian

KAGUYA (SELENE)
Image Taking of Earth-Rise by HDTV

November 13, 2007 (JST)
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)
NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation)

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and NHK (Japan
Broadcasting Corporation) have successfully performed the world's first
high-definition image taking of an Earth-rise* by the lunar explorer
"KAGUYA" (SELENE,) which was injected into a lunar orbit at an altitude
of about 100 km on October 18, 2007 (Japan Standard Time. Following
times and dates are all JST.)

The Apollo project was the first mission to take images of Earth rising
over the Moon. The KAGUYA successfully shot high-definition images of
the Earth-rise showing an impressive image of the blue Earth which was
the only floating object in pitch-dark space. These are the world's
first high-definition earth images taken from about 380,000 km away
from the earth in space.

The image taking was performed by the KAGUYA's onboard high definition
television (HDTV) for space use developed by NHK. The moving image
data acquired by the KAGUYA was received at the JAXA Usuda Deep Space
Center, and processed by NHK.

The satellite was confirmed to be in good health through telemetry
data received at the Usuda station.

* Note: we use the expression "Earth-rise" in this press release, but
the Earth-rise is a phenomenon seen only from satellites that travel
around the Moon, such as the KAGUYA and the Apollo space ship. The
Earth-rise cannot be observed by a person who is on the Moon as they
can always see the Earth at the same position.

Review: The Wonder of It All - by Ronald A. Wells

I have not seen the movie, "The Wonder of It All", but it sounds like I should.

Others have mentioned that they had and my thanks to Ron for his
review as presented at The Space Review.

A snip below, but do go read.
Let me know what you think if you have seen the movie.
- LRK -

I think the more publicity of our past missions to the Moon the better
and hopefully we will see more to come.
Where will the future take us?
Nations have started back to the Moon and maybe we will see some space
type commerce in the future as well.
Here around Earth we now have communications satellites that were
predicted by Arthur C. Clarke and think nothing of it.
- LRK -

At NSS Space Settlement page http://www.nss.org/settlement/ we have this.
--------------------------
"Clarke's Law"

Arthur C. Clarke, inventor of the concept of using geosynchronous
orbit for communication satellites, once wrote that new ideas like
this pass through three stages:

* Stage 1: "It can't be done."
* Stage 2: "It probably can be done, but it's not worth doing."
* Stage 3: "I knew it was a good idea all along!"

When Clarke first published his idea of utilizing geosynchronous orbit
in 1945, that idea was in Stage 1 because it was technically
impossible to do so at the time. Today, of course, that idea is in
Stage 3, and our television programming and phone calls routinely go
through geosynchronous satellites.
--------------------------

And at http://www.lsi.usp.br/~rbianchi/clarke/ACC.Laws.html we see this.
--------------------------
In the book Profiles of the Future: An Inquiry into the Limits of the
Possible Arthur C. Clarke states his three Laws, which are formulated
as follows:

Clarke's First Law:
"When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is
possible he is almost certainly right. When he states that something
is impossible, he is very probably wrong."

Clarke defines the adjective 'elderly' as :"In physics, mathematics
and astronautics it means over thirty; in other disciplines, senile
decay is sometimes postponed to the forties. There are of course,
glorious exceptions; but as every researcher just out of college
knows, scientists of over fifty are good for nothing but board
meetings, and should at all costs be kept out of the laboratory". (in
Profiles of the Future.)

Clarke's Second Law:
"The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture
a little way past them into the impossible."

Clarke's Third Law:
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

Review: The Wonder of It All
by Ronald A. Wells
Monday, November 12, 2007

As the national interest slowly turns towards a deeper human
penetration into space, settlements on the Moon with later expeditions
to Mars are becoming more of a reality show than political leadership
of the past 35 years would belie This growing interest in space
received a huge boost a decade ago with the landing of a small robot
vehicle on Mars and from increasingly sophisticated Mars orbital
mapping spacecraft launched by NASA and later by ESA. An even greater
impetus stimulated the public's appetite about our neighboring worlds
when NASA landed two golf-cart sized rovers on opposite sides of Mars
in January 2004 which sent back thousands of photographs of their
treks across the surface. They are still roving and transmitting
pictures and data today, having recently survived one of the worst
dust storms since their arrival on the planet almost four years ago.
And the Vision for Space Exploration, as announced by President Bush
in January 2004, is intended to "�extend [a] human presence across the
solar system, starting with a human return to the Moon by the year
2020".

Although not greatly visible on the national public stage today as
they once were in the late 1960's and early 70's, an almost-forgotten
group of American heroes, the Apollo astronauts who traveled to the
Moon, including the scant dozen of them who walked on the surface for
times ranging from a few hours to three days, also returned to center
stage as actors about a decade ago in the cable TV series "From the
Earth to the Moon". The crew of Apollo 13, again as actors, was
featured in a movie by that name; and a special TV documentary,
"Failure Is Not an Option", narrated by Gene Kranz, the chief flight
director during the Apollo period, recounted the excitement of each of
the lunar missions with archival footage of actual events. Transcripts
of voice communications with the two Moonwalkers on each of the six
landed missions, together with supplementary photographs, mission
reports and related materials were provided by the Apollo Lunar
Surface Journal. Various books by and about the astronauts have also
been published.

But none of these media sources really bring to life the men
themselves who went to the Moon and walked on its surface. Two recent
productions have attempted to redress that situation: Jeff Roth's The
Wonder of it All and Duncan Kopp and Chris Riley's In the Shadow of
the Moon (see "Review: Two Shadows on the Moon", The Space Review,
September 24, 2007). It is worthwhile in this discussion, however, to
draw a few distinctions between the two because they approach their
subjects differently.

==============================================================
http://www.thespacereview.com/

Sustaining exploration: communications, relevance, and value

I---
It has become fashionable of late to critique and criticize NASA's
communications efforts, especially given the belief by many that NASA
has not done a good enough job communicating the importance of space
exploration to the general public. In the first of a two-part
report, Mary Lynne Dittmar argues that such criticism is focused too
much on tactics rather than broader strategic concerns.
http://www.thespacereview.com/article/1000/1

Exploding Moon myths: or why there's no race to our nearest neighbor
---
Recent and upcoming lunar missions, and even announcements of
proposed missions, have given the impression to some that there is
some kind of new race to the Moon developing. Dwayne Day find the
flaws the various explanations given for why these missions are all
taking place now.
http://www.thespacereview.com/article/999/1

Why "Save Mars" is worth the effort
---
Some space advocates have been pressing Congress to drop language in
the House version of the NASA budget that would prohibit spending on
any project exclusively intended to support human Mars exploration.
Chris Carberry explains why what appears to be a minor provision in
the overall bill is so critical.
http://www.thespacereview.com/article/998/1

Hillary Clinton's civil space policy
---
As the only presidential candidate of either party to release a
detailed science policy, Hillary Clinton's approach to space policy
has come under scrutiny. Taylor Dinerman examines what Clinton said
-- and did not say -- and its implications for the agency and its
exploration plans.
http://www.thespacereview.com/article/997/1

Review: The Wonder of It All
---
As a new generation of space exploration ramps up, there is a renewed
interest in that original generation of space explorers. Ron Wells
reviews the lesser-known of two new documentaries about the Apollo
astronauts and examines what sets it apart in its examination of the
only people to have walked on another world.

STS-120 is the 23rd shuttle mission to the International Space Station,
and launched an Italian-built U.S. multi-port module for the station.

Retired Air Force Col. Pamela A. Melroy commands the STS-120 mission
which took the Harmony Node 2 connecting module to the station. Melroy,
a veteran shuttle pilot, is the second woman to command a shuttle.
Marine Corps Col. George D. Zamka serves as pilot. The flight's mission
specialists are Scott E. Parazynski, Army Col. Douglas H. Wheelock,
Stephanie D. Wilson and Paolo A. Nespoli, a European Space Agency
astronaut from Italy. Zamka, Wheelock and Nespoli are making their first
spaceflight.

Expedition 15/16 Flight Engineer Clayton Anderson will return to Earth
from the space station aboard shuttle mission STS-120. That flight
carried his replacement, Daniel Tani, to the station. Tani will return
on shuttle mission STS-122.

Space shuttle Discovery descended to a smooth landing at Kennedy Space
Center, Fla., concluding a successful assembly mission to the
International Space Station. With Commander Pam Melroy and Pilot George
Zamka at the controls, Discovery landed at 1:01:17 p.m. EST. The mission
lasted 15 days, 2 hours, 24 minutes and 2 seconds.

During its stay at the station, which began Oct. 25, the STS-120 crew
continued the on-orbit construction of the station with the installation
of the Harmony Node 2 module and the relocation of the P6 truss.

The crew installed Harmony Oct. 26 and did four spacewalks at the
station. During the third spacewalk, the crew installed the P6 truss and
solar array pair in its permanent location outboard of the port truss.
The fourth spacewalk was changed during the mission so that the crew
could repair a torn solar array on the P6 truss. Following the
successful repair work, the crew was able to fully deploy the solar array.

Discovery also delivered a new station crew member, Flight Engineer
Daniel Tani.

STS-120 is the 120th shuttle mission and 23rd mission to visit the space
station. The next mission, STS-122, is slated to launch in December.

KAGUYA (SELENE)
World's First Image Taking of the Moon by HDTV

November 7, 2007 (JST)
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)
NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation)

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and NHK (Japan
Broadcasting Corporation) have successfully performed the world's
first high-definition image taking by the lunar explorer "KAGUYA"
(SELENE,) which was injected into a lunar orbit at an altitude of
about 100 km on October 18, 2007, (Japan Standard Time. Following
times and dates are all JST.)

The image shooting was carried out by the onboard high definition
television (HDTV) of the KAGUYA, and it is the world's first high
definition image data acquisition of the Moon from an altitude about
100 kilometers away from the Moon.

The image taking was performed twice on October 31. Both were eight-
fold speed intermittent shooting (eight minutes is converged to one
minute.) The first shooting covered from the northern area of the
"Oceanus Procellarum" toward the center of the North Pole, then the
second one was from the south to the north on the western side of the
"Oceanus Procellarum." The moving image data acquired by the KAGUYA
was received at the JAXA Usuda Deep Space Center, and processed by NHK.

The satellite was confirmed to be in good health through telemetry
data received at the Usuda station.


Moon Images Shot by the Onboard HDTV of the KAGUYA

(1) North Pole Area
(still image cut out from the first image shooting)
http://www.jaxa.jp/press/2007/11/20071107_kaguya_e.html#pict01
This is a still image taken out from the first moving image shooting
when the KAGUYA flew from the northern area of the "Oceanus Procel
larum"(*1) to the center of the North Pole.
As the altitude near the North Pole is high, the angle of the coming
sunlight was lower, thus the shade of the crater topography looks
long in the image.
The moving image was taken at 4:07 a.m. on October 31, 2007 (JST) by
eight-fold speed intermittent shooting (eight minutes is converged to
one minute) from the KAGUYA, and the data was received at the JAXA
Usuda Deep Space Center on the same day.

(*1) Oceanus Procellarum:
The dark area on the Moon's surface called "ocean." It is located at
the left end of the northern hemisphere on the front side of the Moon
when we look up at it from the Earth.


(2) The western side of the "Oceanus Procellarum"
(cut out from the second image shooting)
http://www.jaxa.jp/press/2007/11/20071107_kaguya_e.html#pict02
This is a still image taken out from the second moving image shooting
when the KAGUYA flew from the south to the north on the western side
of the "Oceanus Procellarum."
The dark part on the right of the above image is the Ocean (Oceanus
Procellarum,) and the light area on the left is called the "highland."
The moving image was taken at 5:51 a.m. on Oct. 31, 2007 (JST) by
eight-fold speed intermittent shooting (eight minutes is converged to
one minute) from the KAGUYA, and the data was received at the JAXA
Usuda Deep Space Center on the same day.


(3) The west side of the "Oceanus Procellarum"
(cut out from the second image shooting)
http://www.jaxa.jp/press/2007/11/20071107_kaguya_e.html#pict03
This is a still image taken out from the end part of the second moving
image taking.
We can observe a crater called "Repsold," whose diameter is 107 km, at
the center on the near side of this image. The channel that crosses
this crater is called the "Repsold Valley," and its length is about
180 km (equivalent to the distance between Tokyo and Shizuoka on the
Tokaido Line in Japan.) The shooting time was the same as the above (2.)

Space Robotics - When A Mind of Their Own?

Watch the Sci-Fi movies and the robots that think for themselves.
Read the Sci-Fi books and do battle with robots run a muck.

Do you want to do all the work by yourself or will you use labor saving
devices?
Will they be smart enough to do some of the assigned tasks by themselves?

Some have said, 'Send in the ROBOTS' well maybe not in those exact words.
Still, there is a thirst to know our own mind and could we just hand off
some of the thinking to a robot.

You may have seen some of those 'HELPFUL' robots on TV or in the movies.
Well maybe there was someone inside or maybe it was just computer
graphics, BUT, could it ever be?

Some time back I read a short science fiction story about a robotics
technician being sent out to a small asteroid where the mining robots
seemed to be doing a dance rather than cutting through rock. After
checking everything out at the mainframe computer that was in charge of
all the mining robots, the conclusion was that the system had been over
loaded and that the mainframe computer couldn't make up its mind what to
do next and was DRUMMING ITS FINGERS, that is,- the mining robots seemed
to be doing a dance. :-)

Shall we look up and see how the robots in space are doing?
Then again, the astronauts did a fine job of fixing the solar panels on
the ISS.

Space Station Extravehicular Activity

A New Generation of Space Robotics
To build and maintain the International Space Station, space walking
astronauts will work in partnership with a new generation of space
robotics. The space shuttle's mechanical arm and a new space station arm
operate both as "space cranes" to precisely maneuver large modules and
components and also as space "cherry pickers" to maneuver astronauts to
work areas.

The shuttle's Canadian-built mechanical arm has been enhanced with a new
"Space Vision System" (SVS) that helps the operator literally see around
corners. Tested on past space shuttle missions STS-74, STS-80 and
STS-85, the SVS uses video image processing and a series of markings on
the objects being maneuvered to develop a graphical laptop computer
display to assist the arm operator. It allows the shuttle arm to be
operated with great precision even when visibility is obstructed, and
the system was used operationally during the first assembly mission as
Astronaut Nancy Currie, with her view partially obstructed, attached the
first station component, the Zarya Control Module, to the second
component, the Unity Connecting Module.

HAL 9000 (Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer) is a fictional
character in Arthur C. Clarke's Space Odyssey saga. The novels, along
with two films, begin with 2001: A Space Odyssey, released in 1968. It
was ranked #13 on a list of greatest film villains of all on the AFI's
100 Years... 100 Heroes and Villains.

HAL is an artificial intelligence, the sentient on-board computer of the
spaceship Discovery. HAL is usually represented only as his television
camera "eyes" that can be seen throughout the Discovery spaceship. The
voice of HAL 9000 was performed by Canadian actor Douglas Rain. In the
book, HAL became operational on January 12, 1997 (1992 in the movie)[1]
at the HAL Plant in Urbana, Illinois, and was created by Dr. Chandra. In
the 2001 film, HAL is depicted as being capable not only of speech
recognition, facial recognition, and natural language processing, but
also lip reading, art appreciation, interpreting emotions, expressing
emotions, reasoning, and, of course, chess.

*The Wall Street Journal: Arctic Thaw Defrosts a Sea Treaty*

When we start landing on the Moon again, having found something worth
digging up and selling to space travelers or shipping back to Earth,
there are sure to be discussions as to who has the right to dig, right
here, where I am standing.

Something not so far away is what is under the ocean, like gas, oil, and
other hard to find minerals.
Who has the right to drill here, right where my ship is anchored?

*The Wall Street Journal: Arctic Thaw Defrosts a Sea Treaty*

By NICK TIMIRAOS
November 3, 2007

The Senate moved closer to ratifying a sweeping international treaty
that governs every aspect of maritime law, from ocean shipping to
deep-sea mining. A 17-4 panel vote sent the Law of the Sea Treaty to the
full Senate, where it must win a two-thirds vote for ratification.

The treaty enjoys an odd mix of support from the Bush administration,
top diplomats and military leaders, the oil industry and
environmentalists. But it is opposed by conservatives who worry it would
undermine U.S. sovereignty, and Senate critics repeatedly have blocked
the 25-year-old treaty, to which 155 nations have signed on.

Who will get the taxes and fees involved in setting up and running an

Just a thought.

Look up, look down, look around, now where did I put that purse full of

Must get back to patching up my fish net, drag gear, under water

Rejecting the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST)
Abstract
The United States Senate must reject the United Nations Convention on
the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS or Law of the Sea Treaty�LOST) because it
places constraints on commercial development of untapped resources in
unclaimed parts of the Earth's oceans. Ratification would set a bad
precedent for the future development and settlement of outer space.
While the National Space Society (NSS) has little quarrel with most
of LOST, Part XI establishes an international regime of approval,
oversight, technology transfer, and taxation that interferes with
private enterprise to an unprecedented and unnecessary degree.
Because LOST is an all-or-nothing treaty, NSS urges the Senate
and the President to renegotiate LOST or to continue complying with
all of its provisions except Part XI. This paper details how
'common heritage' treaties like LOST and the Moon Treaty do not
just discourage, but they actually inhibit, development of resources
from the unexplored reaches of our world and solar system. These
treaties prevent space development in two ways. First, by stating that
resources in unexplored places are "the common heritage of all mankind,"
they ensure that no one person will attempt to develop them privately.
Second, resources necessary to the future health of our civilization
will be subject to, as well as confiscated and redistributed by the UN,
an organization with a long history of opposing the United States. The
very future of our civilization will depend upon the resources and
technologies gained by exploring new worlds. We should not restrict
that future through short-sighted decisions today. Accepting the UN's
mandate on future resource development will mean a dimmer future for all-not
just the U.S. Free enterprise must be allowed to continue to expand, on
this world and others for the sake of our civilization.

*Spacewalkers Complete Array Repair, Deployment*

Mission Specialists Scott Parazynski and Doug Wheelock successfully
repaired a torn solar array today during STS-120�s fourth spacewalk. The
7-hour, 19-minute excursion wrapped up at 1:22 p.m. EDT.

Shortly after the spacewalk began, Parazynski rode the station�s robotic
arm up to the damaged area of the array. He was secured in a foot
restraint on the end of the Orbiter Boom Sensor System, or OBSS � the
extension to the shuttle robot arm used for inspection of the orbiter�s
thermal protection system.

After reaching the area of the damage, Parazynski went to work
installing the cufflinks that were built by the crew. Once the five
cufflinks were in place, the crew inside then deployed the array half a
bay at a time until the array was fully deployed.

Mission Specialist Paolo Nespoli coordinated today�s spacewalk activities.

Hi Larry

Here is an interesting piece by Christopher Riley, co-producer &
assistant director of In the Shadow of the Moon. This statement caught
my eye "We are now looking for footage to accompany interviews we are
conducting with some of the 400,000 engineers and scientists who worked
on Apollo. The resulting series for the Discovery Science Channel will
air next summer - bringing a fresh insite (sic) into just how hard it
was to go to the Moon. Something we will perhaps never fully grasp until
we attempt to do it again."
