[b]Esteemed Author Frederick Ordway III, Age 82, Will Discuss Space History, Wernher von Braun, On Next Space Talk[/b] One of the most respected authors of space history, who witnessed first-hand the birth of the Space Age working alongside Wernher von Braun, will be our special guest on "Space Talk with Jim Banke" on Saturday, July 23. Ordway is the author, co-author or editor of more than 30 books and hundreds of scholarly and popular articles about the space program. His career is closely tied to von Braun and the original German rocket team in Huntsville, Ala., at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. His 1979 book The Rocket Team is one his most popular. Written with the late Mitchell Sharpe and previewed by von Braun just before his death, the book chronicles the German rocket team's origins, involvement in World War II and escape to the United States. Looking ahead to the Jan. 30 edition of Space Talk, the guests will be NASA's Joe Delai and Boeing's Dave Cormack, who will talk about the Tranquility node flying to the International Space Station aboard Shuttle Endeavour in February.
