Table of Contents

Project Manhigh took humans to the threshold of space using balloons. In the 1950s, a small band of Air Force doctors were on the cutting edge of the United States' space research programs. Working at the Aeromedical Field Laboratory at Holloman Air Force Base in southern New Mexico, they used balloons to carry laboratory animals followed by human pilots above 99% of the atmosphere. Drawing upon flight reports and technical data, this book documents Project Manhigh and the high altitude flights that preceded it. The Manhigh flights were, in many ways, prototypes for future space missions. On each of the three flights, the Air Force placed a lone pilot in a sealed capsule nineteen miles above the ground. At such extreme altitudes, the pilots were well within the functional equivalent of outer space and needed the sealed capsule to survive. Manhigh existed prior to the creation of NASA and helped pave the way for human space exploration.

The book is great e Dept the lady chapter
Format: Kindle
I loved reading every moment of this book up until the last chapter. You can’t pray Jesus I to your heart and expect to get to Heaven. First you must become a disciple as Jesus commanded in Matthew 28:18-20. Jesus said disciples get baptized. The. We receive the gift of the Holy Spirit Acts 2:36-41. Read all of Acts 1 and 2 to really understand what happened. Many people think they are on the narrow road but they don’t fully follow what Jesus laid out. Matthew 7:21-23 shows us. We can’t take parts of scripture and create our own religion that’s easy and appeals to our feelings and is just motivational. We must be willing to give our WHOLE heart to avoid, keep His statutes, and obey His will totally (Psalm 119:1-2). It takes understanding of biblical principles, practice, and guidance from other disciples. If you’d like to explore this more check out PHXICC.org…. We are a highly persecuted group of dedicated disciples imitating the first century church….persecuted like they were! It’s awesome to read the entire book of Acts and know we are bringing it into our modern times! God can move powerfully through us when we give Him our whole heart and obey….. otherwise we are receiving gifts from satan….. think about that!

The end of our age
Format: Kindle
This book clarifies scripture regarding signs that we are in the end times that lead to Jesus' return. These signs that were given 2000 years ago are happening now right before our eyes. This book is about ten years old now and I don't have to tell anyone reading it now how even more accurate the words of Jesus and the prophets are ringing true today. Jesus is coming and I for one am looking up, ready to meet Him in the sky!
