Topic: The
History of Flight: From the Wright Brothers to the International Space
Station - Bob Jaques - Historian, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center
(MSFC)
On December 17th, 1903 the brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright
flew their Wright Flyer from level ground under engine power alone and made
aviation history. Now, in less than a century, mankind has proven that the
"sky is NOT the limit" by making significant strides in the goal to
colonize outer space. But how did we get to that orbiting habitat from the
sandy dunes of Kitty Hawk? Bob Jaques from NASA's Marshall Space Flight
Center will lay out the time line and important milestones along the road from
Kitty Hawk to the International Space Station. As well as the technologies
employed from engine power to rocket power.
Invocation/Pledge: Jack
Anderson
Menu: Turkey and
Dressing, Yams, Green Peas, and Pecan Pie
OUR PREVIOUS
MEETING_______________________________________
Damon Riggs from ARCADIS gave a PowerPoint
presentation to the club outlining how national and local trends in solid waste
disposal have changed. He provided us with information about the
advantages and disadvantages of various emerging technologies being utilized to
deal with waste disposal and conform with the Subtitle D federal
regulation. One of these technologies included piling the waste
higher by using special supports to minimize the footprint area needed. He
also discussed capturing and converting the decaying by-products to energy to
local consumers to help offset operational costs.
