“Crossing the Threshold: Advancing into Space to Benefit the Earth”Ken Murphy / 5:08 pm May 30th, 2011 Wieland, Paul O. “Thea Stilton and the Star Castaways”Ken Murphy / 4:30 pm May 30th, 2011 Atlantyca, SpA Librarian’s Note: The English language edition of the copy I picked up in France last year is finally out. I like the French title, “Destination the Stars” better than “Star Castaways”. So fresh it’s not yet up at the publisher’s website. “Solar Power from the Moon”Ken Murphy / 11:31 pm April 19th, 2011  Tucker, Patrick Librarian’s Note: Also includes an article from satellite-guru and ex-ISU dean Joseph Pelton entitled “Finding Eden on the Moon” that lays out a case for a Moonbase entitled Eden 1. The Solar power article features the usual suspects, Shimizu Corp. and Dr. Criswell, as well as criticisms from someone at MarsDrive. It’s good to see these ideas seeing treatment outside the space community. “Pilgrim Observer Space Station” (model)Ken Murphy / 11:37 pm March 30th, 2011 MPC Librarian’s Note: While not inexpensive (and what isn’t these days), you’re getting an above-average quality product. There’s no obvious “flash” (the extra bits of plastic that get left on in production), the box is rather nice, there’s an iron-on, some nice spaceship-y decals, and a small background booklet that is perfect for future young scientists and engineers with lots of details on the layout of the station and the kinds of science it would be doing in its peregrinations around the Solar system.  When I was picking it up, the gentleman at the local hobby shop was rather curious about it so I gave him some background, and mentioned its marked similarity to NASA’s recent Nautilus-X design. I’ve been thinking of putting together the Moon Bus, but I think I’m going to tackle this one first.  “Turning Point: How Space Exploration & Development Will Determine the Rise or Fall of Humanity”Ken Murphy / 1:18 am March 18th, 2011 Mallette, Douglas “Rumble ‘n Blast Space Ship” (playset)Ken Murphy / 1:12 am March 18th, 2011 Little People “Elmo’s Space Adventure Building Set” (playset)Ken Murphy / 1:07 am March 18th, 2011 Sesame Street Librarian’s Note: “Today, Elmo is exploring the Moon, just like an astronaut!” Right on. “iSpace Out” (DVD)Ken Murphy / 12:21 am March 18th, 2011 Nickelodeon “Lego City Space Shuttle”Ken Murphy / 12:18 am March 2nd, 2011 “Lego City Space Shuttle” Librarian’s Note: Finally, the LEGOSpace countdown clock runs to zero again, and I use my lunch hour to head to the LEGO store at the mall just up the road a bit. I’m all anxious to load up on the new sets, like the Moon buggy (oh yeah) and the rocket launch complex. Marching into the store I quickly discern the new set. Singular. The space shuttle. But, but…Moon buggy!?! “Those are brand new”, informs the saleslady,and I’m all “Yeah, but where are the rest of the sets?” and she’s like “That’s all we got. We don’t have an ETA for the other sets.” So the wait continues. I’ll build yet another Shuttle model and probably take it down to Frontiers of Flight to display with the other recent Shuttle model that LEGO put out (which was a fun build). Still, I’m really looking forward to the launch complex. And the Moon buggy… “Meteor Strike” (game)Ken Murphy / 11:44 pm March 1st, 2011 “Meteor Strike” Librarian’s Note: Just released (and for only $19.99) at my local LEGO store, where they inform me that it looks as if LEGO has discontinued the Lunar Command game, as they haven’t seen anything about it being released here in the U.S. As far as space games go, looks like you’ll have to make do with this one. “Twin Spica, Vol. 6″Ken Murphy / 11:30 pm March 1st, 2011 Kou Yaginuma “New Zealand Astronomical Yearbook 2011″Ken Murphy / 3:17 am February 28th, 2011  Christie, Dr. Grant (Ed.) “Zac Power Test Drive: Zac’s Moon Trip”Ken Murphy / 2:05 am February 28th, 2011  Larry, H.I. “Zac Power Test Drive: Zac’s Space Race”Ken Murphy / 1:59 am February 28th, 2011  Larry, H.I. “Zac Power Test Drive: Zac’s Rocket Launch”Ken Murphy / 1:54 am February 28th, 2011  Larry, H.I. “Moon: A Tribute to Earth’s Nearest Neighbor”Ken Murphy / 1:43 am February 28th, 2011  Montgomery, Scott L. “Aussie Nibbles: Blast Off”Ken Murphy / 6:56 pm February 23rd, 2011  Clark, Margaret. Illus. by Tom Jellett “To the Moon and Back”Ken Murphy / 6:45 pm February 23rd, 2011  Sullivan, Bryan & Jackie French “Expedition Halley” (board game)Ken Murphy / 6:35 pm February 23rd, 2011  Vujigigi Brothers Sevi Space ShuttleKen Murphy / 6:27 pm February 23rd, 2011 Space Shuttle with Tanker “The Great Space Race”Ken Murphy / 1:07 pm February 23rd, 2011 Mowll, Joshua “The Comic Strip History of Space”Ken Murphy / 3:00 am February 23rd, 2011  Kindberg, Sally & Tracey Turner “Space: The Final Frontier”Ken Murphy / 2:51 am February 23rd, 2011  McKie, Robin “Moon Landing”Ken Murphy / 2:44 am February 23rd, 2011  Gray, Leon “Kiwi Moon”Ken Murphy / 2:37 am February 23rd, 2011  Bishop, Gavin |
