Close to the window I could see that this Pacific scene in motion was rimmed by the great curved limb of the Earth. It had a thin halo of blue held close, and beyond, black space. I held my breath, but something was missing I felt strangely unfulfilled. Here was a tremendous visual spectacle, but viewed in silence. There was no grand musical accompaniment; no triumphant, inspired sonata or symphony. Each one of us must write the music of this sphere for ourselves. Walker

Extractions: RELEASE: 92-165 NASA AND RUSSIAN SPACE AGENCY SIGN SPACE AGREEMENTS NASA and the Russian Space Agency (RSA) have signed two cooperative agreements in Moscow, in the areas of human space flight and Mars exploration. "Signing these two agreements is the next crucial step in expanding cooperative space activities with our Russian partners. We are very anxious to begin working on these important programs," said NASA Administrator Daniel S. Goldin. The Human Space Flight Agreement outlines the flight details of a Russian cosmonaut on the U.S. Space Shuttle, the flight of a U.S. astronaut on the Russian Mir Space Station and a joint mission including the rendezvous and docking of the Space Shuttle with the Mir Space Station. The Mars '94 agreement is for the flight of two U.S./NASA scientific instruments on the Russian Mars '94 lander. The agreements were signed by Administrator Goldin and RSA Director Yuri Koptev during the first annual U.S./Russian Space Policy Consultations. Ambassador Frank Wisner, Under Secretary of State, headed the U.S. delegation and met with Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials to review the U.S./Russian space relationship.

Extractions: The European Astronaut Corps ESA Paris, 5 October 1998 The Director General of ESA, Antonio Rodota, together with the Dutch Minister of Economic Affairs, Annemarie Jorritsma, announced Europe's newest astronaut, Andre Kuipers, today at Space Expo in Noordwijk, The Netherlands. André Kuipers (40), a medical doctor from Amsterdam, joins the other astronauts that make up the European corps. He will begin training around mid-1999 to qualify for future missions onboard the International Space Station. Kuipers is a specialist in space-related medical research. Since 1991, he has participated in the preparation, data collection and ground control of physiological experiments developed by ESA for flight on board the US Space Shuttle, the Russian Mir space station and, in the future, on the International Space Station. He also coordinates the life-science experiments for ESA parabolic flight campaigns and takes part as an experimenter, test subject and flight surgeon.

Extractions: The Arts Catalyst's pioneering work in opening new environments to artists was focused in 2000/2001 on space: the space agencies, research scientists and space industries. One of the outcomes was our first parabolic 'zero gravity' flight, organised for choreographer Kitsou Dubois in September 2000 with the Yuri Gagarin Centre in Star City, Russia, in collaboration with Projekt Atol Flight Operations, Slovenia. To train cosmonauts to perform experiments and investigations in real conditions of space flight - zero gravity - in Earth conditions, the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre in Russia uses a special flying laboratory on a parabolic trajectory. The IL-76 MDK is a very large aircraft specially adapted for parabolic flight. A parabolic flight creates the conditions of zero gravity - otherwise only experienced for any length of time in orbit or space travel - by putting an aircraft into a series of diving manoeuvres. Parabolic flights are undertaken by a handful of space agencies around the world specifically for astronaut/cosmonaut training and scientific experiments. During each parabola, bodies and objects inside the aircraft float freely for 25 - 30 seconds. A flight will have between 10 and 30 parabolas.

The criteria for determining who has achieved human spaceflight vary (see edge of space ). In the United States , people who travel above an altitude of 50 miles (approximately 80 kilometers) are designated as astronauts. The FAI defines spaceflight as over 100 km (approximately 62 miles). To October 14 , a total of 443 humans had spent a total of 27,472 crew-days in space (by the US definition) including 99 crew-days of spacewalks. 437 people qualify under the FAI definition.

Space Adventures, a private company based in Arlington, Va., sends its patrons on $5,400 zero-gravity flights, where they experience brief bouts of weightlessness, and edge-of-space excursions costing up to $12,995 that let them see the curvature of the earth. Astronaut wannabes can also witness a shuttle launch for $1,150 or go through simulated cosmonaut training for up to $6,995. And if they have $20 million and at least six months to train, they might be able to blast off on an orbital flight to the International Space Station like entrepreneur Dennis Tito did last year. "The era of space tourism has begun," said Eric Anderson, president and CEO of Space Adventures. "Space is back in."

Extractions: Sit back in your seat, and imagine pulling 3+ G's for 30 minutes continuously. Better yet visualize strapping yourself into your craft, now take off vertically (after and incredible blast) and climb out of a your own ball of fire. Now just 20 seconds after takeoff, roll over on your back and climb out at a 78 degree angle for 110 miles, good for maybe an 8.0 but impressive all the same.. Don't forget to throttle back at 17,000 MPH or drop your main fuel tank somewhere over the Indian Ocean. David Wolf has done these maneuvers twice (so far), as a member of our American Space Shuttle Astronauts Corps. You probably guessed that David competes in aerobatics, fly's the greatest biplane ever built, and is the subject of our spaceman story. Anyway getting down to the aerobatic contest hard points here, David got 1st place in that contest back in 1991, and I got the coveted heavily sought after 2nd place trophy (again). Since then, David's practice has been curtailed by some NASA rules and regulations concerning the Astronauts and their hobbies, but I am hoping that only practice can keep me ahead of him now. I imagine that when he returns to earth again, the aerobatic bug will bite again. We tried to morph my picture into a photo of his plane in flight so we could send to him on MIR with some annoying note like, " ....
