Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 1978. presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. [6], 89, [1] pages. Black and white illustrations. Rear cover has a creased corner. Rear cover torn at spine from top to about 1/3 of the way down. The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was a U.S. federal agency founded on March 3, 1915, to undertake, promote, and institutionalize aeronautical research. On October 1, 1958, the agency was dissolved, and its assets and personnel transferred to the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). NACA was pronounced as discrete letters, rather than as a whole word (and after NASA first was established, its acronym was pronounced as discrete letters in the early years). Among other advancements, NACA research and development produced the NACA duct, a type of air intake used in modern automotive applications, the NACA cowling, and several series of NACA airfoils which are still used in aircraft manufacturing. During World War II, NACA was described as "The Force Behind Our Air Supremacy" due to its key role in producing working superchargers for high altitude bombers, and for producing the cutting-edge wing profiles for the North American P-51 Mustang.[3] NACA was also key in developing the area rule that is used on all modern supersonic aircraft, and conducted the key compressibility research that enabled the Bell X-1 to break the sound barrier.

Anousheh Ansari (born September 12, 1966) is an Iranian-American engineer and co-founder and chairwoman of Prodea Systems. Her previous business accomplishments include serving as co-founder and CEO of Telecom Technologies, Inc. (TTI). The Ansari family is also the title sponsor of the Ansari X Prize. On September 18, 2006, a few days after her 40th birthday, she became the first Iranian in space. Ansari was the fourth overall self-funded space tourist, and the first self-funded woman to fly to the International Space Station. This book contains the Dare-to-Dream story of Anousheh Ansari, the first Iranian woman in space. Ansari's incredible journey takes us from her early life under an oppressive regime, to America, where she found love and became a successful entrepreneur, to the space station and the fulfillment of her childhood dreams as the first-ever female commercial space flight participant. In "My Dream of Stars," Anousheh Ansari allows readers to experience the magic of space while sharing the triumphant story that brought her there. Her story is a testament to the power of conviction and to the understanding that through true commitment and unwavering focus, even the unimaginable is possible. Homer Hickam is the acclaimed author of the New York Times best-selling book Rocket Boys, which was adapted into the major theatrical release October Sky. He is the author of ten other books as well.
