Her byline appeared regularly and readers looked for it. In 1960, Hamblin was based in New York City, serving in a series of posts at Life. One plum project, lasting from February 1967 to December 1969, was covering the cutting-edge U.S. space program from Houston. She conducted interviews with astronauts, their wives and families, but also explained the brand-new space technology in a way Americans could understand. Readers were fascinated. This resulted in a 1970 book, "First on the Moon, a Voyage with Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin Aldrin," written with Gene Farmer, that detailed the Apollo 11 mission. More

The editors were associated with the Harvard College Observatory (HCO) and the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) is known as the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA). The combination of Harvard University astronomers and Smithsonian Institution astronomers explore the cosmos together. Since the Space Age began a quarter-century ago, astronomers have been able to reach out and often touch celestial bodies that formerly could only be dimly viewed from afar. Probes have flown by or landed on many of the planets. Astronauts have made direct observations from Earth orbit and on the Moon. Most important, a host of satellites in Earth orbit have recorded the emissions of X-ray, infrared, and ultraviolet radiation from distant sources normally invisible beneath the atmosphere. And when the Space Telescope goes aloft, man's vision of the cosmos will be extended further still. More
