Mini-Livre ATV Jules Verne de 2007
1) En janvier 2007, la maison d'éditions Biotop sortent dans leur collection ''Le Mini-Livre'' un volume consacré à l'ATV.Ce volume est consacré au 1er ATV nommé Jules Verne et donc consacré aussi à l'écrivain qui illustre le dos de ce mini-livre.2) Conçu et écrit par l'ami journaliste Frédéric Castel, en partenariat avec l'ESA, ce mini-livre contient 74 pages (si j'ai bien compté) richement illustrées.3) Il y a une préface du Directeur de l'ESA de l'époque Jean-Jacques Dordain et le texte consacré à l'ATV est en anglais.Il y a un extrait du roman de Jules Verne ''de la terre à la Lune'' d'une dizaine de pages (mais en français).4) Ce mini-livre est un des plus rares de la collection. Il est très recherché. Son tirage limité à 25 000 exemplaires seulement y est pour beaucoup.Il existe 500 exemplaires numérotés de 001 à 500 existent également mais ces exemplaires sont introuvables.5 et fin) Il y aura d'autres Mini-Livres consacrés à l'espace, notamment en 2008 et 2009 mais j'en parlerai demain 😉Happy Collecting !

"VOICE OF NASA" HUGH HARRIS HAS DIED AT AGE 90Called "The Voice of NASA" for many years by the world's television networks, Hugh Harris has died at age 90.Harris devoted 35 years with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to telling the story of the United States space program.Hugh was a monthly guest on ASM's "Stay Curious" video podcast, sharing his unique insight about America's space program past and present. He most recently read the Apollo 1 biographies at the January Astronaut Memorial in Titusville, Florida, and was master of ceremonies for the ShuttleFest I in April 2022.The ASM team has been blessed with Hugh Harris' participation in our programs, and we send our deepest sympathies to his family. Funeral arrangements by the family are pending.Although Harris is best known to the public for his calm, professional commentary on the progress of launch preparations and launch of the Space Shuttle, his primary accomplishments were in directing an outreach program to the general public, news media, students and educators, as well as business and government leaders.As the third director of Public Affairs for NASA's Kennedy Space Center, he built on the groundwork of Gordon Harris and Chuck Hollinshead by overseeing the largest major construction program in the history of the Kennedy Space Center's Visitor Complex and tours that have hosted more than three million visitors a year. The Saturn V Center, which was part of that new construction, won the Award for Outstanding Achievement from the Themed Entertainment Association in 1997.He also is particularly proud of his role in the creation of "The Chroniclers," the wall of honor for retired media members.The recipient of two NASA Exceptional Service Medals and the NASA Equal Opportunity Medal, Hugh was most pleased with being included in more than 25 group achievement awards.Harris served in the U.S. Army as an information specialist from 1952-54. There he began his career as a member of the news media. He worked as a reporter and broadcaster for radio station WMTR in Morristown, N.J., and as a reporter, photographer and bureau chief for two newspapers. From 1961 to 1963, he was a writer for internal and external house organs for Standard Oil of Ohio.Since retirement in 1998, he has shared his NASA experience and lessons learned with nuclear industry leaders through conferences held by the United Nations' International Atomic Energy Agency in Europe and Japan and in this country through the Nuclear Energy Institute.He also has been consulting in the fields of contingency planning, business management and public relations. He is presently serving on the Board of Directors of the Florida chapter of the NASA Alumni League.A graduate of Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, he and his wife Cora reside in Cocoa Beach, Fla. He is survived by 2 sons, 1 daughter, 6 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
