Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Chad Griffith (Jacket Photography) (illustratore). xiv, 313, [9] pages. Illustrations (some in color). Michael James Massimino (born August 19, 1962) is an American professor of mechanical engineering at Columbia University and a former NASA astronaut. He is the senior advisor of space programs at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. Selected as an astronaut candidate in May 1996, Massimino reported to the Johnson Space Center in August 1996. He completed two years of initial training and evaluation and qualified for flight assignment as a mission specialist. Prior to his first space flight assignment, Massimino served in the Astronaut Office Robotics Branch, and in the Astronaut Office Extravehicular Activity (EVA) Branch. He has served as a CAPCOM (spacecraft communicator) in Mission Control and performed other technical tasks in the Astronaut Office CAPCOM Branch. He flew on STS-109 Columbia (March 1-12, 2002) and STS-125 Atlantis (May 11-24, 2009). Derived from a Kirkus review: Massimino's memoir is a smooth combination of personal history and immersive storytelling. The author developed an obsession for the "reality of space travel" in his early years. Intensive academic studies at Columbia and MIT strengthened his resolve to pursue the space program. Being accepted into the NASA space program made his dreams come true. Massimino writes of training for six years prior to embarking on his first mission aboard the NASA space shuttle Columbia in 2002 on a mission to rendezvous with the Hubble Space Telescope. He suspensefully re-creates his second mission into space to repair the telescope. Massimino's memoir is stuffed with fascinating details about the unforeseen complications of weightlessness, the zero-gravity experience, and the intricate physical, psychological, and the situations involved in the actual spaceflight itself. Readers will find themselves glued to the page as the author makes a positive impact on the space program. A vivid, engrossing, and enthusiastically written memoir of aeronautic ambition. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].

An album of 134 original photographs and 16 documents and newspaper clippings providing glimpses into the life of an intrepid jack of all trades who served in both World Wars. Born in Cripple Creek, Colorado, Griffith (1900-60) attended Pueblo City Schools and appears to have spent part of his adolescence in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, where he enlisted for service in the First World War in 1917. The first image in the album is a studio portrait of a youthful Griffith in full uniform, and another shows him with seven fellow soldiers. According to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania records, he served with the 282nd Aero Squadron from December 13, 1917 to December 14, 1918. After the war, Griffith was employed as a trucker in a Pennsylvania steel mill, before moving to California and taking work as a riveter near Bakersfield. It was about this time he visited Yosemite and captured the 20 snapshots included in the album. Other images from this period show mining, ranching, and oil exploration, presumably in Kern County. The newspaper clipping included herein depict Griffith as cool and resourceful. The brief story "Kills Coyote With Rock" reads: "W.P. Griffith, who probably has had more experience with rattlers this summer than any one else in the community, had a new one this week. While working in the hay fields for John Tarped he spied a coyote intently watching something hidden in the tall meadow. Walking around to the far side of the animal he was approaching it when suddenly it ran at top speed toward him. Quickly picking up a rock he hurled it at the coyote and killed it." Another piece, published shortly after his move to Wenatchee, Washington, tells of the measures he took when a truck loaded with watermelons burst into flames: "Griffith wasted several minutes looking for water. Then he had an idea. He hurled watermelons at the blazing truck. They burst and water spouted out. The twenty-third melon put out the fire." Census records indicate Griffith worked as a self-employed tree surgeon in Los Angeles prior to his enlistment for service during the Second World War. The photographs and documents in the album suggest he joined the U.S. Navy, and later served as an electrician in the U.S. Coast Guard. There is also some indication that he visited the The Universities' Mission to Central Africa in Zanzibar, and also spent some time in Palm Springs, California. The photographs, which range in size from 1 3/4" x 1 3/4" to 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" (most are 4 1/2" x 2 3/4"), are mounted to black leaves, which are bound in a decoratively embossed oblong brown buckram album. A few of the images are labeled in the margins. Some minor edgewear, with a few faint spots to the front panel of the album; otherwise very good.
