I received this publication today (April 1): "NASA: 50 Years of Exploration and Discovery" from Faircount Publisher, 2007.

It's a softbound 380 page book/magazine (lots of ads!) but I have no idea how and where to buy copies and for how much. Sorry.

If anybody has more info, feel free to post!

Note that the cover page of this book/magazine looks like that the home page of the NASA link provided on the publisher's page (click on "visit website"). Hope that helps.

Chris.

Saw lots of these on eBay for US $25.00.

Apparently an electronic version is available.

We got copies of this magazine in our mailboxes last week along with a letter from the center director. It is a very nice magazine with lots of good articles and pictures. It does have a lot of ads, but some of them are really well done. I especially like the ad that was taken out by Snoopy (well actually the publishers of Peanuts)!

Is this link correct for the electronic version? It doesn't seem to lead anywhere. I don't think it's a problem this end ...but you never know,

thanks,

It appears that the link has expired. I double checked the Google results, and several sites have the same (now broken) link.

I emailed the publisher and they provided this link. From here you can open up an 'ebook', there is a download button where the document can be fully downloaded as a 'pdf' document (approx 85Mb).

Thanks,

I particularly enjoyed the article 'Lessons from My Father' by Jeannie Kranz. (page 326). She says 'Dad and I talk weekly. He is my advisor, my mentor and my leader'.

I guess its hard to change the habits of a lifetime.

Thanks for the link. There's some interesting stuff in there once you flip past the ads. I particularly enjoyed the profiles of people who have been working for NASA since it was founded. How amazing.

This is a great publication considering it's free, otherwise paying for a book full of ads would annoy me. Thanks for the link.
