Skylab

Mustang Ace: Memoirs of a P-51 Fighter Pilot , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 601min

When Bob Goebel left home to join the Army Air Corps in 1942, he was 19 years old and a high school graduate. Cadet Goebel worked his way steadily through Basic, Primary, and Advanced phases of military flight training, and found in himself an aptitude for flight. After graduation from flight school, with his new wings and new commission as a 2d Lieutenant, he and his classmates were posted to a fighter squadron defending the Panama Canal. By the spring of 1944 he was on his way to Italy and the 31st Fighter Group, one of the top fighter outfits of the war. He was also headed for a new aircraft, the legendary P-51 Mustang. After 61 combat missions now Captain Goebel was officially credited with 11 victories in his Mustang. Returning home in September 1944, he was not yet 21 years old. Goebel's memoir is a classic of combat aviation, giving the listener a true sense of what it was like to fly and fight as a World War II fighter pilot. It covers stories about the often overlooked 12th AF in Italy, and tales of flying the classic P-51D, America's ultimate piston-engined fighter. About the Author: Following the war, Robert J. Goebel attended college on the GI Bill, earning a degree in physics from the University of Wisconsin. Returning to the air force, he served on active duty for almost 30 years, retiring as a lieutenant colonel in 1966 after working on the Gemini launch vehicle for NASA. He then worked in the aerospace industry, including on the Skylab project. The author died in February, 2012, just days short of his 88th birthday. He was preceded into the unknown, in 2006, by his wife, June. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gary Goebel. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/111591/bk_acx0_111591_sample.mp3.

The Stargate Chronicles: Memoirs of a Psychic Spy, The Remarkable Life of U.S. Government Remote Viewer 001 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 717min

The Remarkable Life of U.S. Government Remote Viewer 001 Joseph McMoneagle is now known as the best Operational Remote Viewer in the history of the U.S. Army's Special Project-Stargate. His intelligence collection results have never been surpassed and rarely equaled. Among his achievements: He described the interior of a top-secret Soviet manufacturing plant and accurately predicted a new class of submarine under construction there. He sketched the location and described the thoughts of a kidnapped U.S. Army General being held by the Red Brigade in Northern Italy. Nearly a year in advance he accurately predicted when Skylab would leave orbit and where it would impact on the Earth's surface. After conventional reconnaissance failed, he and others were able to locate a downed Soviet bomber that had been carrying nuclear materials. He achieved these results using scientifically designed and tested double-blind protocols. And in the years since his retirement he has continued to demonstrate these abilities on camera for national television in three countries, in the lab at the famed Monroe Institute, and for private companies. Are his abilities a natural gift, or taught? Was it his largely unsuspected psychic ability that helped keep him alive in Vietnam, and aided in his invaluable contributions to the cold war effort, that made McMoneagle a first-class remote viewer? How much did he owe to his near-death experience in the 1970s? And why would he give up a safe and distinguished career as an advisor to the Commanding General of the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command to become Remote Viewer 001? This is his story. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kevin Pierce. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/019629/bk_acx0_019629_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

X-Ray Rider 3: Mileposts on the Road to Childhood's End: The X-Ray Rider Trilogy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 118min

Jonesing for a drive-in theater and a hotrod El Camino? It's the dawn of the 1970s, and everything is changing. The war in Vietnam is winding down. So is the Apollo Space Program. The tiny northwestern city of Spokane is about to host a World's Fair. But the Watergate Hearings, the re-entry of Skylab, and the eruption of Mount Saint Helens are coming...as are killer bees and Ronald Reagan. Enter "The Kid", a panic-prone, hyper-imaginative boy whose life changes drastically when his father brings home an astronaut white El Camino. As the car's deep-seated rumbling becomes a catalyst for the Kid's curiosity, his ailing, overprotective mother finds herself fending off questions she doesn't want to answer. But her attempt to redirect him on his birthday only arms him with the tool he needs to penetrate deeper - a pair of novelty X-Ray Specs - and as the Camino muscles them through a decade of economic and cultural turmoil, the Kid comes to believe he can see through metal, clothing, skin - to the center of the universe itself, where he imagines something monstrous growing, spreading, reaching across time and space to threaten his very world. Using the iconography of 20th century trash Americana - drive-in monster movies, cancelled TV shows, vintage comic books - Spitzer has written an unconventional memoir which recalls J. M. Coetzee's boyhood and youth. More than a literal character, The Kid is both the child and the adult. By eschewing the technique of traditional autobiography, Spitzer creates a spherical narrative in which the past lives on in an eternal present while retrospection penetrates the edges. X-Ray Rider is not so much a memoir as it is a retro prequel to a postmodern life - a cinematized reboot of what Stephen King calls the "fogged-out landscape" of youth.

Safely to Earth: The Men and Women Who Brought the Astronauts Home , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 528min

In this one-of-a-kind memoir, Jack Clemons - a former lead engineer in support of NASA - takes listeners behind the scenes and into the inner workings of the Apollo and Space Shuttle programs during their most exciting years. Discover the people, the events, and the risks involved in one of the most important parts of space missions: bringing the astronauts back home to Earth. Clemons joined Project Apollo in 1968, a young engineer inspired by science fiction and electrified by John F. Kennedy's challenge to the nation to put a man on the moon. He describes his experiences supporting the NASA engineering team at what is now the Johnson Space Center in Houston, where he played a pivotal role in designing the reentry and landing procedures for Apollo astronauts. He went on to work on Skylab and the Space Shuttle program, eventually assuming leadership for the entire integrated software system on board the Space Shuttle. Through personal stories, Clemons introduces listeners to many of the unsung heroes of the Apollo and Space Shuttle missions - the people who worked side-by-side with NASA engineers supporting reentry and landing for each Apollo mission, and the software team who fashioned the computer programs that accompanied the crews on the Space Shuttle. Clemons worked closely with astronauts who relied on him and his fellow engineers for directions to their destination, guidance on how to get there, control of their fate during their journeys, and a safe return. He reveals problems, challenges, and near-disasters previously unknown to the public and offers candid opinions on the failures that led to the loss of 14 astronauts in the Challenger and Columbia tragedies. Highlighting the staggering responsibility and the incredible technological challenges that Clemons and his colleagues took on in the race to reach the moon and explore the mysteries of space, this book is a fascinating insider's view of some of the greatest adventures of t ungekürzt.

DER URKNALL und die Entdeckung des Kosmos. Am Anfang war nichts. Doch dann, vor etwa 13, 7 Milliarden Jahren geschah etwas Unglaubliches. Der Big Bang' oder zu Deutsch der Urknall'. Er ist der Anfang von allem: von Raum und Zeit und Materie. In dem Bruchteil einer Sekunde wurden die Naturgesetze, wie wir sie kennen, geboren. Als Entdecker des Urknalls gilt der Astronom Edwin Hubble. Diese Dokumentation beschreibt die Urknall-Theorie und berichtet von den aktuellsten Forschungsergebnissen. Darüber hinaus wird die kosmologische Forschung gezeigt und das Streben des Menschen nach Antworten auf die ältesten Fragen der Menschheit: woher kommen wir und wohin werden wir gehen? Eine spannende Dokumentation über das faszinierendste Thema unserer Zeit. 2. DAS SONNENSYSTEM und die Eroberung der Sterne. Vor etwa 13, 5 Milliarden Jahren entstand unser Sonnensystem: die Milchstraße. Den Namen erhielt die Milchstraße, weil sie am Firmament wie ein heller, milchiger Pinselstrich erscheint., von dem unser Sonnensystem, mit seinen acht Planeten und zahlreichen Monden, nur ein winziger Teil ist, aber die Heimat unserer Erde darstellt. Diese Dokumentation befasst sich mit unserem Sonnensystem und stellt die Planeten und ihre gegenseitigen Einflüsse ausführlich vor.

April 1961 umkreiste Juri Gagarin als erster Mensch im Weltall die Erde. Dagegen konzentrierten sich die Anstrengungen der USA unter Präsident Kennedy auf die bemannte Mondlandung, die am 20. Juli 1969 (Apollo 11) mit einer halben Milliarde TV-Zuschauern das vielleicht größte Medienereignis zur Zeit des Kalten Krieges war. Neil Armstrong betrat als erster Mensch den Mond. Fünf weitere bemannte Mondlandungen des Apollo-Programms fanden in den folgenden drei Jahren statt. Erfahren Sie in dieser Dokumentation mehr über die Meilensteine der Raumfahrt. Erleben Sie einen Rückblick in die Zeit, als der Mensch es nicht mehr abwarten wollte, einen Blick in die aufregende Welt des Weltalls zu werfen. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DVD 7: Der Weltraum (Ref: 102088) Die unendlichen Weiten des Weltraums sind für uns nochimmer faszinierend und unbegreiflich.

Der Mars ist, von der Sonne aus gesehen, der vierte Planet in unserem Sonnensystem und der äußere Nachbar der Erde. Er zählt zu den erdähnlichen (terrestrischen) Planeten. Mit einem Durchmesser von knapp 6.800 km ist er etwa halb so groß wie die Erde. Wegen seiner orange- bis blutroten Farbe wird er oft auch als der Rote Planet bezeichnet. Aufgrund seiner großen Helligkeit war der Mars schon im Altertum bekannt. Im Unterschied zur Erkundung des Mondes stecken die Erforschungen des Mars nach wie vor in den Anfängen und eine bemannte Landung ist noch Zukunftsmusik Frederick Forell und andere
