  In Love in a Time of Climate Change: Honoring Creation, Establishing Justice, author Sharon Delgado invites readers to embark on a deepening journey of faith that integrates personal spirituality with action for climate justice. The book explains and demonstrates a process of discernment through which to reflect on the challenge of climate change and to discern a faithful response based on Jesus’s teaching to love God above all and our neighbors as ourselves.  
  This revised edition updates the facts. It presents what climate scientists say now about our rapidly heating planet, its causes, impacts, progression, and likely future scenarios. It describes the global movement for climate justice and engages with major conversations taking place about climate change today.  
  This edition builds on the book’s primary themes. Its premise is that in this time of climate change, loving God must include honoring God’s creation and loving our neighbors must include working to establish justice. We are called to honor and care for creation, the interconnected community of life of which we humans are a part, because creation is an expression of the presence and love of God. We are called to work to establish justice because in this time of globalized environmental harm we can’t always see the links of interdependence, responsibility, and systemic exploitation that tie us to our global neighbors. Working for climate justice for the wellbeing of all is an expression of loving our neighbors, near and far, present and future. 
  This book is an invitation to move beyond self-preoccupation and to expand our understanding of who we are and why we are here on this incomparable planet in this time of unprecedented challenge. Love in a Time of Climate Change offers a way to rise to the occasion: to face the truth about the realities of climate change, follow the light, and live with love into the future as children of the earth, children of the universe, children of God.

  Reaching the Moon: The History...

  The Apollo Program is the most famous and celebrated in American history, but the first successful landing of men on the Moon during Apollo 11 had complicated roots dating back over a decade, and it also involved one of NASA’s most infamous tragedies. From 1959-1963, the United States worked toward putting satellites and humans into orbit via the Mercury program, but Eisenhower’s administration was already designing plans for the Apollo program by 1960, a year before the first Russian orbited the Earth and two years before John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth. 
  At the same time, America would begin missions to the Moon as early as 1958. On March 27, 1958, Secretary of Defense Neil McElroy announced a lunar project for the International Geophysical Year, consisting of three Air Force launches followed by two Army launches of a JPL-designed lunar probe. ARPA directed the Air Force to launch its probes "as soon as possible consistent with the requirement that a minimal amount of useful data concerning the Moon be obtained." 
  Throughout the 1960s, NASA would spend tens of billions on missions to the Moon, the most expensive peacetime program in American history to that point, and Apollo was only made possible by the tests conducted through earlier missions, including the historic Ranger Program. Conceived as an early part of the attempt to land a man on the Moon, Ranger was designed to photograph the lunar surface in preparation for future landings. Until Ranger, images of the Moon were only available through Earth-based telescopes, which lacked the detail necessary to determine safe sites for landing a spacecraft. Ranger aimed to fill in that gap of knowledge, and like many of NASA’s missions during the 1960s, the program exemplified both the successes and the failures of the agency’s early years.
