April 13, 1970: Two hundred thousand miles from Earth and counting, an explosion rips through Jim Lovell's spacecraft. The crippled ship hurtles toward the moon at three times the speed of sound, losing power and leaking oxygen into space. Lovell and his crew were two days from the dream of a lifetime - walking on the surface of moon. Now, they will count themselves lucky to set foot on Earth again. From "Houston, we've had a problem" to the final tense moments at Mission Control, Lost in Outer Space takes readers on the unbelievable journey of Apollo 13 and inside the minds of its famous and heroic astronauts. Complete with photographs of the crew and diagrams of the spacecraft, this is an up-close-and-personal look at one of the most thrilling survival stories of all time.

Download or read book Jaredites the Missing Civilization X written by Jim Hendleman and published by Author House. This book was released on 2013-05-20 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the origin and archaeological development of selected categories of civilized elements identified as being Jaredite in origin. It is an attempt to elevate the Jaredite civilization into the light of day from the heretofore dark mists of history where science has forced it for the last 2,500 years. The Jaredite civilization spanned a possible 2,530 years, and its known achievements have far exceeded those of modern mans in many regards. In c. 2800 BC, the Jaredites built a pair of concrete superhighways over 2,700 miles, complete with paved exits and a secondary road network, nearly the entire length of the South American continent. Their civilization could answer the riddles of the Sphinx, the questions of who built the pyramids and why, the mystery and likely origin of UFOs, prove whether or not George Lucas had the only ET, detail what Noah brought aboard the ark besides three sons and their families, and provide an answer to the question posed to Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer by a student as to whether Alamogordos nuclear bomb in July 1945 was the first ever atomic bomb explosion in history. Many other possible but likely Jaredite achievements are incredibly fascinating and await only an honest archaeological effort to prove them. The historical facts exist; they are real and three-dimensional, but to date, standard classical science has relegated them to the dustbin of historys forgotten basement closet. Satan has made a tremendous effort since mankinds beginning to keep man blinded to the historical facts of our heritage, causing the deliberate destruction of millions of artifacts, scrolls, books, and whole libraries throughout the world to do so. This book is but a small effort to expose and make known a portion of mankinds previously hidden but rightful heritage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NOTHING IS SAFE ON EARTH; YOU NEED A BACKUP PLANET. YOU CAN NEVER FIND A PLANET LIKE EARTH; YOU CAN’T SEARCH FOREVER. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A PERFECT PLANET. Earth was once a beautiful planet with abundant natural resources. After making the planet uninhabitable, the humans escaped to Mars and to exoplanets in nearby galaxies. But, did they feel comfortable and safe on the new planets? After living happily on Mars for two millennia, who ever expected that Earth would haunt the human settlers on Mars once again? Halik, a young officer on planet Sulok in Triangulum, took the mantle of saving Mars from Earth. Before he could think about saving Mars, he had to learn a lot about Earth – why the humans left the planet, how they travelled across galaxies, how they made Mars and exoplanets liveable and the new species they encountered.

Download or read book Sky Alert written by Les Johnson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-02-26 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Sky Alert! What Happens When Satellites Fail” explores for the first time what our modern world would be like if we were suddenly to lose most, if not all, of our space assets. The author demonstrates humankind’s dependence on space satellites and show what might happen to various aspects of our economy, defense, and daily lives if they were suddenly destroyed. The book opens with a consideration of how our space assets might be lost in the first place: through orbital debris, war, and solar storms. The author then looks at what would happen if our satellites were lost, including the effect on weather forecasting, and the Global Positioning System, explaining GPS in detail and its importance to the military, including spy satellites and military reconnaissance, commerce, civilians, communications and remote sensing – both resource monitoring and locating and environmental monitoring and science. The effects of losing such assets as the International Space Station as well as such research satellites as the Hubble Space Telescope or the Chandra X-Ray Observatory are also considered. Part III of the book looks at how we can protect our satellites, preparing for the worst, reducing the growth and amount of orbital debris, preventing acts of war in space and hardening against space radiation. The book ends on an optimistic note: most spacefaring nations are now working together to develop new technologies to reduce the threat posed by orbital debris and in-space nuclear detonations and treaties exist to limit the development and use of weapons in space. Finally, it is hoped that it will not be long before we will be able to better predict and take precautions against solar storms. The global economy has now become so dependent upon satellites that their loss would be devastating – to the economy, to national security, and potentially, to the day-to-day survival of those who live in the world’s most advanced economies.

The book examines cutting-edge developments in government and commercial space stations, including NASA's Deep Space Habitats, the Russian Orbital Technologies Commercial Space Station, and China's Tiangong program. Throughout, Space Stations also charts the fascinating depiction of space stations in popular culture, whether in the form of children's toys, comic-book spacecraft, settings in science-fiction novels, or the backdrop to TV series and Hollywood movies. Space Stations is a beautiful and captivating history of the idea and the reality of the space station from the nineteenth century to the present day.
