Space and Aviation
Challenger Space Shuttle Disaster Presidential Commission Report
1986. Space and Aviation Presidential Commission on the Space Shuttle Challenger Accident. Report to the President: Report at a Glance. Washington D.C.: U.S. Government Printing Office 1986. First edition. Volume I totaling approximately 30 pages which includes the main findings. This abbreviated summary of the Report to the President by the Presidential Commission on the Space Shuttle Challenger Accident offers a concise and accessible overview of the findings surrounding the catastrophic failure of STS-51-L which disintegrated 73 seconds after liftoff on January 28 1986 killing all seven crew members aboard. <br /> <br /> Commonly known as the Rogers Commission Report this document distills the conclusions of a body convened by President Ronald Reagan and chaired by former Secretary of State William P. Rogers with members including astronauts Neil Armstrong and Sally Ride. This "Report at a Glance" was issued for broader circulation and comprehension a key part of the Commission's goal "to document our findings and make recommendations for your consideration." The pamphlet opens with a solemn "In Memoriam" page bearing the official crew portrait of the Challenger astronauts including Commander Francis R. Dick Scobee Pilot Michael J. Smith Mission Specialists Ellison S. Onizuka Judith Resnik and Ronald E. McNair and Payload Specialists Christa McAuliffe and Gregory B. Jarvis. Beneath the image appears a poignant quote from Reagan's televised address: "The future is not free: the story of all human progress is one of a struggle against all odds. It was built by men and women like our seven star voyagers who answered a call beyond duty." A letter from Rogers to President Reagan dated June 6 1986 reaffirms the national pain and resolve: "The nation's task now is to move ahead to return to safe space flight. There could be no more fitting tribute to the Challenger crew than to do so."<br /> <br /> The core of the report identifies a systemic failure in NASA's risk assessment and engineering culture. The immediate cause of the explosion detailed in Chapter IV was "a combustion gas leak through the right Solid Rocket Motor at field joint" attributed to O-ring failure exacerbated by the unusually cold temperatures on launch day. The report states bluntly: "The consensus of the Commission. is that the loss of the Space Shuttle Challenger was caused by a failure in the joint between the two lower segments of the right Solid Rocket Motor." A diagram on the facing page maps acronyms and component systems central to understanding the shuttle's propulsion including ET External Tank LOX Liquid Oxygen and SSME Space Shuttle Main Engine. Findings were unflinching: "Launch site activities. were not considered as direct causes of the accident" yet "weaknesses in NASA's decision-making structure" were. This offering Volume I contains the report which summarizes the main findings and appendices A-D while Volumes II and III contain the rest of the appendices and Volumes IV and V contain hearings of the Presidential Commission. Light foxing to cover small owner's name written on upper right. Interior pages clean and well-preserved. Overall very good condition. unknown

Sparks, Billy R (signed)
Takhli Tales and Other Stories signed
Privately Published 2013. INSCRIBED to "Beast" and SIGNED by the AUTHOR on a bookplate affixed to the front inside cover. SIGNED copies are SCARCE. Very Good condition. Bright and shiny. Flat uncreased spine. Mild corner bumps but NO text is affected. NO fading chips or tears. Previous owner's tiny address label. NOT a library discard. NOT a remainder. Pages are clean and unmarked. NO underlining. NO highlighting. NO margin notes. Memoirs of decorated Vietnam-era fighter pilot Billy R. Sparks Lt. Col. Ret. USAF. Bound in the original pale green pictorial wraps stamped in black. From a 2013 review by John D. Williams: "Takhli Tales knocks it out of the park! Billy Sparks is both a fighter pilot and a tale-teller par excellence! This tour de force sets the standard for military writing on an understandable level for those who do not drive supersonic metal on a daily basis. His sense of humour honour and patriotism combine to create a unique mixture of ingredients that lead to a total success. I flew CF104 Starfighters with Billy in Baden West Germany where he served admirably on exchange with the Canadian Armed Forces - but my foremost memory of Billy Sparks revolves around the ten minute standing ovation he received from about 500 fellow fighter pilots at the San Antonio River Rats Practice Convention when he entered the hall. Leading the ovation was Robin Olds. If you have to ask who he is - you would never understand! Many of those cheering pilots believed they owed their very lives to Billy and his Wild Weasels. All-in-all this is a superb book from an outstanding source. No one knows more about the Weasel role or about a war that while mismanaged from on high provided an opportunity for a host of men to demonstrate their courage dedication inventiveness and airmanship to the world than Billy Sparks. All the thumbs up in the world! Bravo!.". INSCRIBED / SIGNED by the AUTHOR. 1st ed No additional printings listed. Softcover. Very Good condition. Illus. by NOT a library discard. xiv 246pp. Great Packaging Fast Shipping. Privately Published Paperback
