Listserv Readers:
We are very pleased to announce the availability of Asif Siddiqi’s
Beyond Earth: A Chronicle of Deep Space Exploration
(NASA SP-2018-4041).
Humans likely have used tools for more than a million years but for only sixty years, have we been able to send specialized tools, robotic spacecraft, into the heavens and leave
our mark on the cosmos. This book is a chronicle of our attempts to send these robotic travelers beyond Earth orbit, to the Moon, to other planets and their moons, to the Sun, to comets, to minor planets, to dwarf planets, and ultimately beyond the solar
system. This is a significantly revised and updated version of the author’s
Deep Space Chronicle (NASA SP-2002-4524). E-book versions are available free
online and hard copies are also available free by contacting the NASA HQ Information Center (202-358-0000,
info-center@hq.nasa.gov).
For those of you in the Washington, DC area, please join us for an engaging brown bag talk on Wednesday, October 10 by Zach Pirtle,
“Parallel Paths in Systems Engineering: Historical Lessons on Uncertainty and Independence in Complex Systems Development.” The debate about whether to build multiple, parallel engineering developments traces to the origins of systems
engineering in the 1950s. NASA managers can learn from this history, with a key lesson about how to confront deep uncertainty. The talk will be from noon to 1 pm at NASA HQ, Room MIC 6. If you plan to come and do not have a NASA badge or have any questions,
please contact Nadine Andreassen (202-358-0087,
nadine.j.andreassen@nasa.gov).
Last but not least,
happy 60th anniversary to NASA today! Thanks for your interest in NASA history.
