Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by Robert Pearlman on 09-18-2009 12:24 AM American Astronautical Society (AAS) release <BLOCKQUOTE>[b]American Astronautical Society (AAS) Announces 2008 Emme Award Recipient[/b] <div align="justify">David A. Mindell has been selected as the recipient of the 2008 Eugene E. Emme Award for Astronautical Literature for [i]Digital Apollo - Human and Machine in Spaceflight[/i] (MIT Press). This book tells an important story about the interaction between astronaut and computer in the technologically successful Apollo program, and at the same time suggests important questions about the future of the American space program. Clearly written and exhaustively researched, Digital Apollo is a noteworthy contribution to the history of astronautics and aeronautics and, for that matter, to the general history of technology. <center><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/aas_2008emme01.jpg" WIDTH="200" HEIGHT="300"></center> The Society also acknowledges the other Emme finalists for their excellent works: [list][]Bennett, Jeffrey, [i]Beyond UFOs: The Search for Extraterrestrial Life and Its Astonishing Implications for Our Future[/i] (Princeton University Press) []Chaikin, Andrew, [i]A Passion for Mars: Intrepid Explorers of the Red Planet[/i] (Abrams) [*]Zimmerman, Robert, [i]The Universe in a Mirror: The Saga of the Hubble Space Telescope and the Visionaries Who Built It[/i] (Princeton University Press)[/list] The annual Eugene M. Emme Astronautical Literature Award, named for NASA's first Historian, recognizes an outstanding book that advances public understanding of astronautics. It rewards originality, scholarship and readability.</div></BLOCKQUOTE> <a name="2009"></a>
