Shuttle, Houston: My Life in the Center Seat of Mission ControlFrom the longest serving Flight Director in NASA's history comes a revealing account of high stakes Mission Control work and the Space Shuttle program that has redefined our relationship with the universe.

From the longest-serving Flight Director in NASA's history comes a revealing account of high-stakes Mission Control work and the Space Shuttle program that has redefined our relationship with the universe. A compelling look inside the Space Shuttle missions that helped lay the groundwork for the Space Age, Shuttle, Houston explores the determined personalities, technological miracles, and eleventh-hour saves that have given us human spaceflight.Relaying stories of missions (and their grueling training) in vivid detail, Paul Dye, NASA's longest-serving Flight Director, examines the split-second decisions that the directors and astronauts were forced to make in a field where mistakes are unthinkable, and where errors led to the loss of national resources -- and more importantly one's crew. Dye's stories from the heart of Mission Control explain the mysteries of flying the Shuttle -- from the powerful fiery ascent to the majesty of on-orbit operations to the high-speed and critical re-entry and landing of a hundred-ton glider.
The Space Shuttles flew 135 missions. Astronauts conducted space walks, captured satellites, and docked with the Mir Space Station, bringing space into our everyday life, from GPS to satellite TV. Shuttle, Houston puts readers in his own seat at Mission Control, the hub that made humanity's leap into a new frontier possible.

Best sunscreen brand! Fair, sensitive-skinned and rely on this
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Alba Botanica is my favorite brand for sunscreen products and it checks all the boxes on my list: Excellent long lasting coverage, fine mist spray and easy coverage cream versions, great for my sensitive skin (no breakouts- I do NOT use it on my face though), the Hawaiian fragrance is pleasant, it’s reef safe (a big one for me as a snorkel/dive aficionado), and organic ingredients. The large size lasts 5 full days when on a boat all day in the Carribbean, and I only apply it twice (once in morning, and again midday.) I have fair skin, and I never burn. The spray version is, by nature of its aerosol capacity, a bit drying on the skin, but this is to be expected, and it creates a long lasting barrier. The cream version is a wonderful emollient, although not quite as long lasting. Best deal is only in the summer season at CostCo for a 2 pack... in my searches, Amazon has the best deal otherwise.

Works Great Without the Horrible Smell
Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This bug spray does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It works well for keeping bugs away and doesn’t have that strong, overwhelming smell that a lot of repellents do, which I really appreciate. It’s easy to apply, not greasy, and works well for both adults and kids. Overall, it’s been reliable. Definitely recommend!

Feels great!
Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Big spray is never 100% proof, but this gets 5 stars because it’s one of the best bug sprays I’ve used. It doesn’t feel sticky. Women will appreciate this - it doesn’t burn on newly-shaved legs either! The smell isn’t too bad either. I actually bought this because my friend had it while camping in FL a couple weeks ago. We all really liked it.

Really works for toddler who is allergic to bug bites
Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My 1 year old grandson was always covered with huge swollen bug bites when I used other bug repellents. Now his skin is clear. Will make you cough if you breathe it in but otherwise quick and easy to use. Scent less and not sticky at all. Can doesn’t seem to last long. Lotion is also good.
