Hey everyone! I am working on my second book, a ship's history of Endeavour, and I need your help. I have come up with chapter titles for 24 of her 25 missions, but I cannot for the life of me think of anything for STS-72. My titles are usually very punny (e.g. "Radar Love" for STS-59), or have some sort of pop cultural reference ("The Real Thing" for STS-77 since she had a Coke dispenser on board for that mission). If I use your title, I'll give you a specific shout-out in the intro. Also, the working title is: America's Greatest Endeavour: The Missions of Space Shuttle Endeavour, but I am open for suggestions in that regard as well. Same shout-out applies. Thanks! |

How 'bout "The Retriever"?By the way, Brian Duffy and Winston Scott are two of my favorite shuttle astronauts. Duffy is no duffer when it comes to "Space Golf" either. |

How about "Lending a Hand to Japan" or "Returning to Japanese". |

Return to Sender - since Japan launched the main payload and NASA retrieved it.Sowing OAST - in recognition of the Office of Aeronautics and Space Technology flyer. (Personally, I'm one for "Minor SNAFU with SFU," but I'm not going to suggest that.) For a book title, "America's Greatest Endeavour - the Missions of OV-105" |

Springer-Praxis published books on Challenger and Columbia but not on the remaining three orbiters. I found that strange. So this book will be welcome. |

"The Heavyweight" as a play on the microgravity spacecraft it retrieved. |

"How much was postage on that?" Going off the fact that we sent it back to Japan. |

Apogee Prime published "Voyages of Discovery: The Missions of the Space Shuttle Discovery." I look forward to a book on Endeavour; that way I will have a book dedicated to each shuttle. When do you hope to have it published? |

That's my first book, and I hope you enjoyed it! I hope to have my next book out in the fall. |

My third one! Seriously, I plan on tackling ATLANTIS after I publish book 2. |
