Shuttle cap com center shows tremendous change

I think it took a hell of a president to stand before a Texas university audience and proclaim that by the end of this decade, that we would place the presence of Earth based mankind on the surface of the moon.

President John F. Kennedy spoke these words and did so eloquently.
In time the goal was met and a series of moon landings under the title of The Apollo Space Program had been launched.

These launches went all successful. There was the ill fated Apollo Thirteen launch that was attempted, had a blowout on the pressure containment side of the service module for the lLEM.
What was important about Apollo Thirteen, is that people then stuck together, used the very best of their imaginations and ingenuities and got the crew home safe.

Now its some fifty years later.

What is a regular site now at the shuttle command room, is men and woman working side by side. Also to people who feel that we culturally socially get to know one another more, is that the camp com room, is racially integrated.

These are little steps, as Astronomer Carl Sagan would have espoused in his novel Contact.

For NASA, at this point in time, the program looks good and we are all very proud of you.

Other notes for this day, is that the space shuttle Endeavour, managed to orbit on only two if its three main engines.
Somewhere in the mirth of what makes heaven and Earth, I do feel at times there is someone watching over.

The Endeavour and crew sailed into a lower orbit, “But hey’ got there”! and this is what counts.

For the student in aerospace, you have the shuttle main liquid oxygen and hydrogen brown cryo-store in-flight tank. All the did was shut one engine down, then take Endeavour into low orbital entry, utilizing those two mains.

If you factor the combined thrust of the two main Morton Thiokol solid rocket motors, plus those two mains minus the one shut down engine, you still get mass moving in motion with velocity and range, then take this craft into the perigee of insertion.

Computers helps, but always remember, “cool heads it seems, almost always prevail”?

Note, at this time people of Earth it seems to not by and large make contact with it seems as what is perceived as aliens.
This process for a number of reasons, seems to be discouraged.
Having any alien persona, in the public eye with certain opposing forces now registered, is about the same feeling that you would get as being the author of the book Malcolm X.

If some aliens per say were to land and make themselves known, then more than likely if things were left up to society, they’d get them jobs at malls, stores and try to make them fit in, as something human-like

This would be even if they had glowed in the dark and had tentacles instead of arms and legs.

In how history becomes fantasy, there was a reports within UFO contacts of the said 1950s, to where two young delightful ladies, of proper upbringing, were said to have made contact with beings that very strongly fit the description of a mythical Mr. Spock of the Gene Roddenberry Star Trek series.

The social fill on the said contact however, is that these said Vulcan looking aliens, were said to be feliciticous and joyful.

Another instances associated with said Vulcan beings lore, is a small planetoid that had orbited Earth’s sun, observed said in the late 1800s, via technology of that time.

This rock was given the title Vulcan, by the astronomer discovering it.

It seems at this time, that an extended hand to any perceived aliens or a noting of what information has been garnered by many qualified observers, is more or less pushed to the way side.

Through circumstance, meeting aliens might be a too far of a step for Earth based mankind to be made at this juncture?

Thank you’ Phil
