Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Former NASA Astronaut Harrison Schmitt advocates a private, investor-based approach to returning humansto the Moon-to extract Helium 3 for energy production, to use the Moon as a platform for science and manufacturing, and to establish permanent human colonies there in a kind of stepping stone community on the way to deeper space. With governments playing a supporting role-just as they have in the development of modern commercial aeronautics and agricultural production-Schmitt believes that a fundamentally private enterprise is the only type of organization capable of sustaining such an effort and, eventually, even making it pay off. …

Soft cover. Zustand: New. v, 47 pages : illustrations (chiefly color), color map ; 28 cm. + 1 map (color ; 94 x 57 cm, folded to 28 x 22 cm). Abstract:Debris-flow alluvial fans are iconic features of dynamic landscapes and are hypothesized to record tectonic and climatic change. Here, we highlight their complex formation and evolution through an exemplary suite of Quaternary debris-flow alluvial fans emanating from the western range front of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in south-central Colorado, USA. To evaluate the constructive and modifying processes that produce fan form and the associated sedimentary signatures, we applied a combined geomorphologic and sedimentologic approach using sedimentary facies analysis, soils mapping, high-resolution topographic data, and luminescence geochronology to document timing of fan construction and modification. We explored two subsets of fans in the study area: a southern set sourced from the extensively glaciated drainages of the Blanca Peak massif, and a northern set from the unglaciated drainages south of Great Sand Dunes National Park. Both sets of fans have: (1) active and successively abandoned surfaces that show evolving degradation of primary features through modification by secondary processes, (2) associated facies that display distinct characteristics representative of primary depositional and secondary modifying sedimentary processes, and (3) evidence of primary debris flow with subsequent modification by secondary processes. We found that surface geomorphology and facies assemblages in exposed alluvial-fan deposits represent sediment transport processes on both active and abandoned lobes. The link between fan surface morphologies and the sedimentary facies of their deposits provides a basis for an evolutionary process-based interpretation of debris-flow alluvial-fan geomorphology and provides a better understanding of complexities in buried paleosurfaces (intraformational progressive unconformities), surficial deformation, and landform development as recorded in debris-flow fan deposits in the sedimentary record.…

One of the most celebrated photographs ever taken, among the very first colour images to show the Earth in its entirety, and a powerful symbol for the nascent environmental movement. On 7 December 1972, the Apollo 17 spacecraft was speeding away from Earth, on an intersect course with the Moon. The mission was the last time in over five decades that a human would be far enough away in space to take a picture of the whole Earth. Through the narrow windows of the command module, Harrison Schmitt (born 1935) took the image on a hand-held Hasselblad camera, loaded with 70mm Kodak film. The crew subsequently spent a little over three days on the Moon, before splashing down in the Pacific Ocean on 19 December. NASA's editors processed the crew's film at breakneck pace in order to unveil The Blue Marble to the world on Christmas Eve 1972. Where 1968's Earthrise showed the planet partially in darkness, The Blue Marble showed it at its full extent - and yet also at its most circumscribed against the vastness of space, with no lands hidden in shadow. The image thus initiated a widespread shift in humanity's appreciation of the limited capacities of our planet, taken up by ecological groups and political campaigns alike. These 8 x 10 inch chromogenic prints were primarily produced for the press, although many found their way to NASA's employees and their contractors. Chromogenic print (8 x 10 inches).
