Apollo 13: The Reconstruction $10.31 SOMETIMES the sequences of events are not known and the little events in which one participates are not realized until something or someone interacts with them to create a truly amazing result. This is a story of such a sequence of unconnected events that combine to form a realization of enormous proportions and danger. Has the Apollo 13 capsule outlived its usefulness? Maybe-just maybe-it can save yet another astronaut crew from a peril more severe than the original mission some thirty years ago. A NASA engineer faces a dilemma of survival aboard the International Space station when a military laser satellite loses control and punctures the station. Atmosphere containment is waning with no hope of rescuing the occupants because the space shuttle vehicle is grounded and Russians cannot rescue them before the air runs out.The actors in this drama include the President of the United States, a power-hungry Secretary of Defense, Green Peace workers, and a cast of politically astute characters. Can the ever-ready and innovative Mike Sherridin and his close friend and colleague, retired engineer Jim Carverneau, fight both the elements of space and time as well as the complex political machinations that stand in the way of rescuing the stranded astronauts? This is a wild and exciting yarn weaving real elements of the space program (past and present) in a tale fraught with intrigue, betrayal and heroism. About the Author: Raymond K. Seymour is a recent retiree of General Electric where he spent 37 years as a design engineer in the Electrical Equipment Industry. During his career he was awarded over sixty-two U. S. Patents, three software copyrights and wrote a lecture series on CircuitBreaker Design.

Confessions And Memoirs Of An Airline Pilot $23.2 Capt. Enrique (Henry) Horta was born the third child of the Horta Family in Ventura California. He grew up in other cities such as, Los Angeles, Watsonville, Cucamonga and San Diego.While spending some of his teen years in Mexico he learned about survival and the importance of appreciating and doing the best of what resources he had. When he returned to California he was a skinny kid with dreams and plans to be a Pilot, traveler and adventurer. His wild dreams of becoming an Astronaut and going to the moon where replaced by more realistic dreams such as wanting to become an Airline Pilot.When he turned 18 years old, he parted from his parents and had to join the working rat race starting out as a bag-boy at a local Safeway store. His plans to finish College were halted by his travelling bug so he took a break from school, sold his motorcycle, and went back-packing to Europe with only $1,000.00 Dollars in his pocket, a Euro-Pass train Ticket for a month, and a return airplane ticket home. Fatherhood in Germany at a young age made him become more responsible and serious about his dreams. He didn’t return alone to California and was now a young family man while working as a carpenter in construction and attending evening University and Flight School on weekends. His hard work, scholarships, grants, and student loans paid off and he graduated with an Airway Science Degree in addition to all his Pilot ratings and Certificates. Thereafter, his life became more of an adventure and he travelled around the world working for various Airlines as a Contract Pilot. |
