Author	Topic: Living in Space (Bob Phillips, STS-40 PS)
eurospace Member Posts: 2610 From: Brussels, Belgium Registered: Dec 2000	posted 11-13-2009 01:11 AM STS-40 Payload specialist candidate Bob Phillips is soon to publish a book. "It has not yet been published, but I am talking to a publisher", he tells a German collector. "My chosen title, which has to be accepted by the publisher is "Living in Space: The Good, the Bad, and the Unknown". It deals with the effect of space flight and problems that we may encounter on other worlds", Phillips adds. Phillips served as a payload specialist candidate on the STS-40/Spacelab Life Sciences mission. When the launch dated slipped after the Challenger accident, Phillips was disqualified from his flight on medical grounds. Phillips is a biologist and veterinarian and has a PhD in physiology/nutrition.

There was a national teachers' convention in Philadelphia in April 2003, and Barbara Morgan was the keynote speaker. Among the other presenters, though, was Bob Phillips, and we talked a little - though memory escapes me as to what exactly - about the 61D/Spacelab 4 flight which became STS-40/SLS-1.
