This was a brand new world not just for the astronauts but for the flight controllers, too. But the command and control of NASA, the way Kranz describes it having been a part of Flight Control since before the first Mercury missions when it was just the Space Task Group, is supremely unique. ![]() That isn’t to say astronaut autobiographies like Aldrin’s or Collins’ don’t detail the support from Mission Control. ![]() There is so much that is covered in this book, and more to the point, there is so much in this book about process and decision making and support that is not covered in the astronaut recountings of missions. His book “ Failure Is Not an Option: Mission Control from Mercury to Apollo 13 and Beyond” is not only a vivid first-hand account of history as it happened, but the perspective is unique to mission control and not the same that you’ll get from the other books written either by astronauts or anyone outside of the Flight Director’s chair. As one of the early members of Flight Control, Kranz was there for Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo before moving up into more of a management role. There is much more to Gene Kranz than Ed Harris’s portrayal of the Flight Director in the movie Apollo 13. ![]() ![]() The author tries to fill the gaps and adjust the puzzle pieces in this slow-burning romance book.

Chicago: University of Chicago Press.īiesta, Gert. Partly as a theoretical framing for the Pullman text, we begin with an outline of Biesta’s philosophy.Īrendt, Hannah. With Biesta as the primary focus of our paper, we generalize beyond Northern Lights to argue that the reading of fiction constitutes “a weak educational event” in Biesta’s intriguing understanding of that phrase. Situating our reading in a Philosophy of Education discourse, we draw theoretically from the work of Gert Biesta and Stanley Cavell. In her negotiation of this complex liminality, we argue that Lyra models those difficult-to-define moments encountered by children as they learn to be in and of the world. Precarious in her vulnerability and in her unknown significance, we read Lyra as usefully negotiating the dangerous transition from childhood to adolescence. Our particular focus is Lyra Belacqua, Pullman’s central character. This paper engages the philosophical concepts of subjectification and acknowledgment in conversation with Philip Pullman’s young adult novel, Northern Lights. ![]() ![]() She can't forget her wife, but with time, she can make a new life for herself and the kid, supported by a community of fellow misfits who defy the Department to lift one another up in solidarity and hope. ![]() Yet as the kid grows, Kris finds her footing, raising a child whose irrepressible spark cannot be dampened by the harsh realities of the world.
