Perhaps best known for his iconic paintings and sculptures of LOVE, also featured on a U.S. postage stamp, and HOPE, created in support of Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, Robert Indiana (b. 1928) has been living and working in Maine since 1978. The Star of Hope, his year-round home and studio on the island of Vinalhaven, is a former late 19th-century Odd Fellows lodge listed on the National Register of Historic Places. "Robert Indiana and the Star of Hope "is both a retrospective of the artist’s work based on his own holdings, and an unprecedented study of his living and working space. His studio is a home, museum, archive, and gallery, all set within the historic interiors of the former Odd Fellows lodge. This book offers a unique examination of how Indiana’s work has unfolded since his move to Vinalhaven and includes works from his student days to storied sculptures such as EAT, prematurely removed from the 1964 New York World’s Fair and not exhibited since.

After his father, Valentin Trifonov, was purged by Stalin in 1937, his family moved from the famous House on Embankment (just across the river from the Kremlin), into a sordid kommunalka.

Trifonovs subsequent works treated such topics as moral ambivalence of Soviet intelligentsia and tragic vicissitudes of Cossackdom during the Russian Civil War.

He was named Peoples Artist of the USSR in 1976. Yakovlev joined the Vakhtangov Theatre in 1952 but his first flirtation with fame came in 1955, when he played Prince Myshkin in Ivan Pyryevs adaptation of The Idiot. Yakovlev followed his first success with regular appearances in Eldar Ryazanovs comedies, most notably Hussar Ballad (1962), in which he played Poruchik Rzhevsky. The feature was such a resounding success that Rzhevskys character gave rise to innumerable Russian jokes. In the 1960s and 1970s Yakovlevs career was varied and interesting, his roles ranging from Stiva Oblonsky in the classic Soviet adaptation of Anna Karenina (1968) to the paranoically jealous Ippolit in another of Ryazanovs comedies, The Irony of Fate (1975). His participation in a series of films about World War II won him the USSR State Prize for 1979. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

The Russian ViceMinister of Foreign Affairs, Prince Adam Jerzy Czartoryski, had been preparing a mission to China for several years, partly in response to the growing Napoleonic hold over Europe, which left Russia with few possibilities for expansion.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Kosmonaut Yuri Gagarin was a Soviet space controlmonitoring ship that was devoted to detecting and receiving satellite communications. Named after Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, she was completed in December 1971 to support the Soviet space program. The ship also conducted upper atmosphere and outer space research. It had very distinguishable looks due to two extremely large and two smaller parabolic dish antennas placed on top of the hull. In Soviet times, the Kosmonaut Yuri Gagarin was the worlds largest communications ship and was the flagship of a fleet of communications ships. These ships greatly extended the tracking range when the orbits of cosmonauts and unmanned missions were not over the USSR. In 1975, the ship was a part of the SovietAmerican ApolloSoyuz joint test program. The communications ships belonged to the Soviet Academy of Sciences. The maritime part fell under the responsibility of the Baltic and Black sea shipping. The ships had home ports in the Ukraine so, after the fall of the Soviet Union the ships were transferred to Ukraine ending their role in spaceflight.

On April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first person to venture into space, gaining worldwide fame in a quick 108-minute journey. Starman tells for the first time Gagarin’s personal odyssey from peasant to international icon, his disintegration under the pressures of fame, and his final disillusionment with the USSR. Before President Kennedy had put an American on the moon, Gagarin himself was dead, killed at age thirty-four in a mysterious air crash. Publicly mourned, his death was privately met with relief by the Soviet hierarchy, and the KGB report into his death remains secret. Entwined with Gagarin’s history is that of the breathtaking and highly secretive Russian space program. Starman looks behind the scenes of the first great space spectacular, and reveals how it came frighteningly close to destruction.

About The Book The book, "My Mother Is an Astronaut," was inspired by the unexpected opportunity I had to observe the children of astronauts as they waited for their parents to depart for the launch pad on launch day. It was very exciting for me because it was the first time I was able to watch a Space Shuttle launch from Kennedy Space Center, in Cape Canaveral, Florida. I observed the Space Shuttle crewmembers board the Astronaut Transport Vehicle through a second floor window in the hallway that connected the astronaut’s living quarters to the general population of the building that I was working in. There were children sitting on the windowsill. I was told the children were watching their parents depart for the next Space Shuttle mission. It was the seriousness of their conversations and the excitement in their voices that inspired me to write this story. When the Space Shuttle returned to KSC. I was able to observe the children’s reactions when they saw their parents emerge from the ATV. One of the little girls started jumping up and down and waving as the ATV pulled into the parking lot. She started screaming when she saw them open the door to the ATV. A female astronaut looked up toward the windows on the second floor. Then the little girl pressed her face against the glass. The moment their eyes met, pure joy washed over both of them. I assumed the astronaut was her mother. As a mother it touched my heart so deeply that I almost cried. Then a uniformed Air Force Officer took the children by the hand and escorted them back to their quarters to be reunited with their parents.

On February 1 1978 the first group of space shuttle astronauts twenty-nine men and six women were introduced to the world. Among them would be history makers including the first American woman and the first African American in space. This assembly of astronauts would carry NASA through the most tumultuous years of the space shuttle program. Four would die on Challenger. USAF Colonel Mike Mullane was a member of this astronaut class and Riding Rockets is his story — told with a candor never before seen in an astronaut’s memoir. Mullane strips the heroic veneer from the astronaut corps and paints them as they are — human. His tales of arrested development among military flyboys working with feminist pioneers and post-doc scientists are sometimes bawdy often hilarious and always entertaining. Mullane vividly portrays every aspect of the astronaut experience — from telling a female technician which urine-collection condom size is a fit; to walking along a Florida beach in a last tearful goodbye with a spouse; to a wild intoxicating terrifying ride into space; to hearing "Taps" played over a friend’s grave. Mullane is brutally honest in his criticism of a NASA leadership whose bungling would precipitate the Challenger disaster. Riding Rockets is a story of life in all its fateful uncertainty of the impact of a family tragedy on a nine-year-old boy of the revelatory effect of a machine called Sputnik and of the life-steering powers of lust love and marriage. It is a story of the human experience that will resonate long after the call of "Wheel stop.

The docking and rendezvous techniques he devised for spacecraft in Earth and lunar orbit became critical to the success of the Gemini and Apollo programs, and are still used today. He also pioneered underwater training techniques, as a substitute for zero gravity flights, to simulate spacewalking.Then, on July 20, 1969, Buzz and Neil Armstrong made their historic Apollo 11 moonwalk, becoming the first two humans to set foot on another world. They spent 21 hours on the lunar surface and returned with 46 pounds of moon rocks. The largest worldwide television audience ? an estimated 600 million people, witnessed this unprecedented heroic endeavor.
