Sinopse

Was the "Wow! signal," a brief, intense radio signal detected in 1977, a message from an extraterrestrial civilization? Wow Signal Origins explores this enduring mystery, delving into the details of the signal, its possible sources, and the extensive search efforts that followed. The book examines the intricacies of radio astronomy and signal processing to understand the complexities surrounding this intriguing event, which was captured by the Big Ear Radio Telescope. Despite decades of investigation, a definitive, natural explanation for the Wow! signal remains elusive. The book meticulously reviews the signal's characteristics and potential origins, drawing upon astronomical data and signal analysis techniques. Beginning with a history of the SETI program and the principles of radio astronomy, it progresses to dissecting the Wow! signal itself, scrutinizing its unique properties. It then investigates potential astronomical sources, considering observational constraints and the challenges of replicating the detection. Finally, the book critically analyzes past search efforts, highlighting their limitations and offering insights for future SETI research. The book's balanced approach makes it valuable for anyone interested in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.

Tough and Competent - Leadership...

Eugene F. Kranz

Tough and Competent documents the leadership and teamwork principles which emerged from an organization of novice, part-time engineers in NASA Mercury Control. By July 1969, when faced with the stress of the Apollo 11 mission to land Americans on the moon, they had matured into a group of hardened individuals empowered to make the split-second decisions to land with only seventeen seconds of fuel remaining. What had changed? Team chemistry, IT!, is the unifying soul of operations that emerged from the leadership, working, and social environment to achieve organizational excellence. Mission Control could address quickly the risks and complexity of spaceflight operations. The intangible element, IT!, elevates performance to where the impossible becomes commonplace. 
 
 
 
IT! was born in a bare-bones warehouse floor work environment, where learning by doing developed the materials for flight. Controllers spanned diverse backgrounds: Philco tech reps, farm boys, Native Americans, and junior college grads who became self-made engineers. A free exchange of knowledge developed expertise among colleagues. Everyone brought unique viewpoints and skills which coalesced into IT! In relaying his long tenure at NASA, Kranz narrates the development of IT! His views on lessons learned through decades of Mission Control are valuable for any innovation-based organization.
