Fast but not that fast. We also have been hearing that the secondary boat which its primary mission is securing the parachutes have buoys attached and two of the four mains and eyes on the other two and moving through that work quickly. The responsibility getting the parachutes together. Detaching from the spacecraft just before the deployment of the mains, mains automatt cli detaching detecting splash down. All of that happening right per the time lo the time line. We have talked about the hard wired buttons in the seats and the control displays and cutting the main chutes is one of those buttons in the event that they werent automatically cut after splash down and bob and doug would have the ability to do so. If the winds were stronger and they caught the parachutes it could create a condition where the capsule is moved unintentionally by the dragging parachutes and want to avoid that so thats one of the few buttons that are hard wired into the cabin for the crew. Again, right now we
Cosmosphere. Did not have a one bit of understanding of Space Exploration when i started here so early on Read Everything i could and today really enjoy early man Space Exploration. So for those of you who havent been to the cosmosphere. That mission was 60 years old yesterday. And so i had a big celebration but here today to talk about eisenhowers role in developing nasa. A lot of people dont really understand the role. The eisenhowers development of the creation of nasa. So i think its an incredibly important topic and the development of nasa something that obviously still resonates today as Space Exploration continues. To go forward but before nasa started the first entity that had oversight of aeronautics in this country was the naca the National Advisory council for aeronautics. It was developed in 1915 luminaries such as the Wright Brothers were part of that initial group, and it was developed to determine or look at how the United States could develop aeronautics coming out of w

Jeff comes to us from the west wing riders group, which he founded as a speech writing business along with a strategic operation and this comes from his experience as a speechwriter for president clinton, and he did a number of landmark speeches for the 42nd president. He also has a background in history from Brown University and was a Rhodes Scholar and so has a masters degree in history from oxford. His previous books are on fascinating. X in and of themselves one on Franklin Roosevelt and his tussle with the us supreme court. The other is speaking of tussles on the conflict between Robert Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, and so we were just talking before we went on camera. Jeff is just so good at developing dramatic tension and i would say about this book, which i thoroughly enjoyed and i think i may have mentioned to him. I certainly did others that when im getti
