It was also the last Shuttle mission of the 2000s. STS-129 focused on staging spare components outside the station. The 11-day flight included three spacewalks. The payload bay carried two large ExPRESS Logistics Carriers holding two spare gyroscopes, two nitrogen tank assemblies, two pump modules, an ammonia tank assembly, a spare latching end effector for the station's robotic arm, a spare trailing umbilical system for the Mobile Transporter, and a high-pressure gas tank. STS-129 was the first flight of an ExPRESS Logistics Carrier. The completion of this mission left six Space Shuttle flights remaining until the end of the Space Shuttle program, after STS-135 was approved in February 2011. STS-129 was the final Space Shuttle crew rotation flight to or from the ISS. More

It used the orbiter Atlantis and hardware originally processed for the STS-335 contingency mission, which was not flown. STS-135 launched on July 8, 2011, and landed on July 21, 2011, following a one-day mission extension. The four-person crew was the smallest of any shuttle mission since STS-6 in April 1983. The mission's primary cargo was the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM) Raffaello and a Lightweight Multi-Purpose Carrier (LMC), which were delivered to the International Space Station (ISS). The flight of Raffaello marked the only time that Atlantis carried an MPLM. On January 20, 2011, program managers changed STS-335 to STS-135 on the flight manifest. This allowed for training and other mission specific preparations. On February 13, 2011, program managers told their workforce that STS-135 would fly regardless of the funding situation via a continuing resolution. Until this point, there had been no official references to the STS-135 mission in NASA documentation for the general public. More

Inscribed by the author on the fep. Inscription reads: To Dick from Earl with best wishes. Hole you lke it, Dick. Regards to wife. E.C. Earl Conrad (17 December 1906 - 17 January 1986), birth name Cohen, was an American author who penned at least twenty works of biography, history, and criticism, including books in collaboration. At least one that he 'ghost' wrote was the autobiography of actor Errol Flynn, titled My Wicked, Wicked Ways. Conrad wished to be a writer from a young age, and his early experience included a stint at the Auburn Advertiser-Journal. He worked as a journalist for the newspaper PM in New York City, and other papers. As the Harlem Bureau Chief for The Chicago Defender, an African American title, he investigated lynchings in the south. This work brought him into contact with Haywood Patterson. In 1950, Conrad co-wrote Patterson's memoir, Scottsboro Boy, about his experience as one of the group of nine men accused of rape in Alabama in 1931. Some of his papers are in the local history collection of the Cayuga Community College in Auburn. Other papers are in the collection of the university of Oregon. His interests as a writer included biographies of show business personalities, such as his memoir of Errol Flynn and his biography of Dorothy Dandridge; and issues related to African Americans, such as his biographies of Harriet Tubman. His work on Jim Crow America is considered by some to be a civil rights classic. More

Alexandra de Borchgrave's and John Cullen's biography of her great-grandfather's rise from penniless and prospectless young German immigrant to prominence and wealth has the fast pace and rich detail of a good novel and the meticulous research of a good history. A Civil War correspondent who invented the news syndicate and knew and was admired by President Lincoln, he then entered the world of finance to tussle with the likes of J. P. Morgan in the building of American railroads and the founding of what became General Electric. Almost ruined in the panic of 1883, he returned to rebuild his empire and regain his place both in business and society. Alexandra decided early on to realize her daring dreams, to capture history through photographs, to co-author a biography of her great grandfather, railroad magnate and financier Henry Villard. More

New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1992. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. 24 cm, 284, [4] pages. Maureen Dean was born on October 10, 1945, in Los Angeles, California, the USA as Maureen Elizabeth Kane. She is a writer, known for Blind Ambition (1979) and The Mike Douglas Show (1961). She was previously married to Michael William Biner and George Owen. In one of her marriages, her high school sweetheart died in a car accident two years after they were married. The other was never official because she found out after the brief marriage that the football scout hadn’t divorced his first wife. On Nov. 13, 1970–“Friday the 13th,” Mo met John Wesley Dean III, during a trip to California looked her up on the recommendation of Rep. Barry Goldwater Jr. Two days later, John Dean asked her to spend Thanksgiving with him in the Virgin Islands, and they began a whirlwind courtship that ended six weeks later with Mo moving to Washington. He proposed, and they were married in October 1972, four months after the break-in at Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate complex. That summer of 1973, she stoically stood by her husband no matter what. Impeccably dressed, flawlessly made up, her hair pulled back into a polished bun, she mesmerized the nation with the silent vigil she kept behind her husband’s witness table day after day at the Watergate hearings while his testimony brought down a President. Her presence got national attention at the time. Her best known written work is “Washington Lives,” which was covered by People in 1987. The book was set in 1989 and described as a “steamy literary debut with a tale of passion on the Potomac.”. More
