The Space Show Interview
Out of the Cradle Review
Librarian’s Note: The author just sent me a copy for review, and I’m quite looking forward to this one. Young Blair is being dragged by her parents off to the Moon (a situation not unfamiliar to us military brats, who lose all of our friends again and again…), but a tragedy soon tests her fealty to her new home.
[Update: I recently got my copy from the publisher, and it looks like Amazon has them in stock as well. Just in time for the holidays!]

Librarian’s Note: Thanks to the Marshall Educator Resource Center (ERC) for several additions to the Lunar Library. I stopped by the ERC during a visit to the Space & Rocket Center, which I hadn’t seen since my 1999 trip to Adult Space Camp (an absolute blast!), while in Huntsville for an NSS Board of Directors meeting (as I’ve been elected the Region 3 Rep). The ERC has friendly staff and nice facilities - the kids (and teachers) in the Huntsville area are pretty lucky to have such a resource, and the new Davidson Center is a nice Saturn V layout along the lines of the one at KSC.
