Air Chief Marshal Sir Philip Bennet Joubert de la Ferté, KCB, CMG, DSO (21 May 1887 – 21 January 1965) was a senior commander in the Royal Air Force during the 1930s and the World War II. At the start of the Second World War, Joubert de la Ferté was Air Officer Commanding Air Forces in India. On his return to Britain he occupied a number of senior staff appointments and returned to his former post as Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief Coastal Command. It was there that he pioneered several innovations. These included Planned Flying and Maintenance and the introduction of a torpedo version of the Beaufighter. In February 1943 he became an Inspector-General of the RAF. On 23 November 1943, Joubert de la Ferté was appointed as the Deputy Chief of Staff (Information and Civil Affairs) at the South East Asia Command.

Are we ready to provide an adequate atmospheric milieu for the astronauts? The present volume represents the first integrated attempt to answer this question on a scientific level and on a broad basis of physical and mechanical, biological, biochemical and medical factors. The main features of this work were presented at a symposium of the division of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry of the American Chemical Society, held in Atlantic City on September 13, 1965. The volume is an expanded and reorganized treatise base on, but not merely proceeding from, the symposium. More

Tuscaloosa, AL: University of Alabama Press, 1994. Hardcover. x, [2], 190, [6] pages. Notes. Bibliography. Index. The author was a professor at Indiana University Southeast. The author examines the Kennedy administration's rhetoric to understand why Project Apollo received so little opposition. The administration's rhetoric "sold" the space project as a great frontier adventure story. By describing space as the New Frontier, the Kennedy administration shaped the way Americans interpreted and gave meaning to space exploration. The frontier narrative established a presumption in favor of massive commitments of the nation's resources to staffed space flight. The continuing influence of the frontier mythology is perhaps nowhere more evident than in the decision to develop the space shuttle program. Ultimately, the shuttle's attraction may have been the symbolic importance of the fact that the astronauts flew the craft as a plane, thereby reaffirming the rugged individualism and daring of the frontier myth.

Illustrations (color). The NASA Technology Transfer program ensures that innovations developed for exploration and discovery are broadly available to the public, maximizing the benefit to the Nation. The nation's lead launch center and first spaceport, the John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC) performs preflight tests and prepares and launches manned and unmanned space vehicles for NASA. KSC develops new technologies that support its three major missions: Launch and Vehicle Processing Systems, Payload and Payload Carrier Systems and Landing and Recovery Systems. KSC prioritizes new work commitments to the development of technologies that support the creation and operation of new spaceport facilities for Earth, in space and on other planets. Under the Innovative Partnerships Program, NASA secures patents on technologies and makes these inventions available to industry through Technology Transfer or Patent Licensing which is administered by the NASA Office of General Counsel, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC. NASA has the authority to grant licenses on its domestic and foreign patents and patent applications pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 207-209. NASA has implemented this authority by means of the NASA Patent Licensing Regulations, 37 CFR § 404.
