Celebrating 50 Years of Human Space Exploration Commemorative Patch $7.95 CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF HUMAN SPACE EXPLORATION This is a new patch designed by Tim Gagnon, celebrating the achievement that sparked the imagination of people everywhere.In 1961 two countries began what came to be known as the Space Race – the USSR and the USA. Its goal was to showcase to the world the technical prowess of each country. The results of the Space Race were advances in science, medicine, engineering and technology that benefitted the entire world.Its focus is the outline of a human in a spacesuit, arms outstretched as if to say “look what we have done.” The globe and laurel wreath are borrowed from the United Nations Emblem to illustrate what the exploration of space has been done to promote the peaceful benefit to humanity.The three larger stars represent the three nations that have launched people into space.

Sex In Space $17.95 Sex In Space by Laura S. Woodmansee, author of Women Astronauts and Women of SpaceAs hoteliers design zero-gravity hotel suites for out-of-this-world unions and with the first honeymoon in space already scheduled, this provocative account reveals the truth about romantic rendezvous in Earth’s orbit and beyond as well as the advantages and difficulties of having sex in space. Questions the space agencies are too embarrassed to discuss ? such as Has anyone “done it” in space? What will happen to the first baby conceived in space? and Have astronauts and cosmonauts practiced “docking maneuvers” while in orbit? ? are thoughtfully answered, while science-fiction myths about interstellar intercourse are dispelled. From chemistry to psychology, this exploration runs the reproductive and sexual gamut, from lust and sexual mechanics to conception, pregnancy, and birth in low-gravity situations. This title may not be suitable for all audiences. Parental guidance suggested. FEATURES: Paperback: 136 pages Publisher: Collector’s Guide Publishing, Inc.

Kids to Space: A Space Traveler’s Guide $29.95 Kids to Space: A Space Traveler’s Guide In the interest of getting kids interested in science, math, space, ……..Lonnie Schorer invited 6000 students, in 99 schools in every state in the US and from Canada, to take an imaginary trip to space – each asking 3 questions prior to launch. This resulted in 18,000 questions, answered by 83 experts. So, this is: An art book: there are 146 student illustrations in the book and another 1000+ on the CD/ROM accompanying the book, set to Hawkwind soundtracks. A science teachers textbook: packed with science information in 94 different categories. A reading literacy book: a children’s story, in large font, precedes each chapter – introducing younger children to the material in the chapter in simple everyday terms. A career guide: a mini-bio for each of the 83 experts is included so that kids can see that one doesn’t have to be a rocket scientist to participate in the space effort. An adult book: The average adult does not know 85% of the information in the book. It would seem an investigative expedition, where children think about tomorrow, learn techniques for problem solving to reach a goal, explore the unknown and express their visions for the future is, as an educational exploration, as relevant as a land-based expedition. It is essentially the first private citizens guide to space – generated by children. These children are our future explorers, and we need to encourage and reach them now. Kids To Space Special Edition Author: Lonnie Jones Schorer Reading Level: Ages 9-12 Format: Paperback Pages: 384 Includes CD-ROM Publisher: Collector’s Guide Publishing (Apogee Books) Date: 2006 |

NASA Exploration Patch $5.5 click images for larger view The Vision for Space Exploration is the United States space policy announced on January 14, 2004 by U.S. President George W. Bush. It is seen as a response to the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster, the state of human spaceflight at NASA, and a way to regain public enthusiasm for space exploration.The Vision calls for the space program to:Complete the International Space Station by 2010 Retire the Space Shuttle by 2010 Develop the Orion spacecraft (formerly known as the Crew Exploration Vehicle) by 2008, and conduct its first human spaceflight mission by 2014 Develop Shuttle Derived Launch Vehicles Explore the Moon with robotic spacecraft missions by 2008 and crewed missions by 2020 Explore Mars and other destinations with robotic and crewed missions When the Vision was announced in January 2004, the U.S. Congress and the scientific community gave it a mix of positive and negative reviews. For example, Rep. Dave Weldon (R-Fla.) said, “I think this is the best thing that has happened to the space program in decades,” while physicist and outspoken manned spaceflight opponent Robert L. Park said that robotic spacecraft “are doing so well it’s going to be hard to justify sending a human.”[1]Others, such as the Mars Society have argued that it makes more sense to avoid going back to the Moon and instead focus on going to Mars first.[2]In a position paper issued by the National Space Society (NSS), a return to the Moon should be considered a high space program priority, in order to begin development of the knowledge and identification of the industries unique to the Moon. The NSS believes that the Moon may be a repository of the history and possible future of our planet, and that the six Apollo landings only scratched the surface of that treasure. Features: The Exploration patch depicts NASA’s vision for space exploration, with an arc that extends over the Earth, and then proceeds to extend to the Moon, Mars and beyond. 4″ embroidered patch |
