NASA History Listserv Subscribers,
Many of you already know that we have a Twitter account (@NASAHistory), but did you know that we've just gone live on Facebook as well? You can find us at:
http://www.facebook.com/NASAHistoryOffice We are just getting started on Facebook, so if you have any ideas or suggestions of things you would like to see there please drop me a note at bill.barry@nasa.gov And, feel free to "like" our page.
Also, we just selected our summer interns for 2013. They are: Drew Simpson, a doctoral candidate at Carnegie Mellon, and Cody Knipfer, a sophomore at McDaniel College. It was a really tough selection this time. We had 40 qualified applicants and narrowing the field was a real challenge. Drew and Cody will both start with us in August and end their internships in/around early August. The deadline for applications for next fall's internship program is June 1st. If you know someone who is a student (and also a US citizen) please encourage them to apply. You can find details at:

Finally, our friends in Aeronautics have released another new book "Crash Course: Lessons Learned from Accidents Involving Remotely Piloted and Autonomous Aircraft." This is another excellent book by Pete Merlin. It is available as a free eBook or PDF from the NASA eBook portal. Here:

All the best,
