Right Man, Right Time, Right Stuff Tom Wolfe hits his stride with Project Mercury masterpiece by joe sCoTChie jScotcHie@antonmediagroup.com

zra Pound once claimed that you can judge a nation by its literature. That’s where it sinks or swims. A typically sweeping statement, but if so, America was doing pretty well during the 1970s: Novelists like John Updike, Saul Bellow, John Cheever, Norman Mailer, Bernard Malamud, Kurt Vonnegut, William Styron and Walker Percy, to name only a few, defined the contours of fiction. Poetry wasn’t quite as strong especially after the passing of America’s most natural poet, Robert Lowell, in 1977, but James Dickey, Richard Wilbur and the unjustly-forgotten A.M. Ammons could fill a lecture hall. Among the greats of that bountiful decade was ever-popular Tom Wolfe. Who was that dandy in the white suit? Don’t people know how hot it gets in Richmond, VA, Wolfe’s hometown, during the summer months? In the 1960s, Wolfe began preaching the gospel of “New Journalism.” Literature must be about realism. Journalism, Wolfe maintained, was the only way to achieve that goal. In the “New Journalism,” the author often became as much a part of the story as the events he wrote about. Wolfe would alter his views. By the mid1980s, he launched an attack on literary fiction, decrying the existence of too many novels about the novelists and their anxieties—get out of the house and explore America. Wolfe still maintained his fidelity to realism, citing John Steinbeck and Edith Wharton as examples. In his 1979 blockbuster, The Right Stuff, Wolfe did not inject himself into the narrative. But the writing was as lively as ever. After exploring forms of architecture and denouncing the “Me Decade,” Wolfe got off the sofa and celebrated the world of those original fly boys: The insanely heroic astronauts of the Mercury space program. Wolfe had planned to write a history of the entire program, from Mercury to Gemini to Apollo to the return of the space shuttle. Once he was engrossed in the Mercury program, he found he had more than enough material for an entire book. All the elements of great drama were there: The long-suffering wives, the leadership of Chuck Yeager, the hell-forleather jet pilot who broke the speed of sound, Alan Shepard’s solo shot into space and finally, the climax: John Glenn’s orbit of the earth.

The Mercury Seven, front row, from left: Walter Schirra, Donald Slayton, John Glenn and Scott Carpenter; back row: Alan Shepard, Virgil ‘Gus’ Grissom and Gordon Cooper The story of the Mercury program was not an eventual rocket ship to the moon. No, it was a do-or-die (people believed the space race with the Russians was a version of the Cold War from the heavens). Once Glenn orbited the earth successfully three times, America had found the authentic salt-of-the-earth squeaky clean hero it badly needed. The book is a comic masterpiece. Yes, these fly boys had to be a little crazy to sit on top of a lit candle and go rocketing into the dark. The drama is even greater. There was the courage of the astronauts and even more so, the fortitude of their wives on the ground. The Right Stuff ran to 367 pages. You won’t notice the bulk. Here is a book that can be read in one sitting. It’s that dramatic, that fast and that much

fun. The early years of the program had its failures. One launch after another from Cape Canaveral ended in spectacular explosions. Those would-be flights were unmanned. When it was Shepard’s turn, not many people were optimistic. [On] the morning of May 5, millions, stopped by the side of the road, paralyzed by drama. This was the greatest death-defying hell-driver stunt ever broadcast, a patriotic stunt bound up with the fate of the country. People were besides themselves. It worked. Shepard made it. Fifteen minutes in space and back down into the Pacific Ocean. The real story was Glenn’s orbit. Here is where

there…He wasn’t about to hit the hatch detonator. The Presbyterian pilot was not about to foul up. His pipeline to the dear Lord could not be clearer. He had done it. That was just the beginning. For Glenn, the next stop was a visit to the White House and Capitol Hill. After that, a ticker tape parade in downtown Manhattan. First, Washington: He [Glenn] knew just what he was doing....He said things that nobody else in the world could have gotten away with, even in 1962. ‘I still get a lump in my throat when I see the American flag passing by.’ But he pulled it off! And then he lifted his hand up toward the gallery...‘above all, I want you to meet my wife, Annie...Annie... the Rock!’ Well, that did it. That turned on the waterworks. Senators and representatives were trying to clap and reach for their handkerchiefs at the same time. And then, the Big Apple. Like most military people… they [the astronauts] didn’t really consider [New York] to be part of the United States…Whatever ideals the military stood for, New York City did not. It was a foreign city full of a curiously tiny malformed gray people. Glenn landed at LaGuardia Airport. Traveling along the Long Island Expressway into the city was impossible, so the entourage took a shortcut, driving along Astoria Boulevard towards the Queensboro Bridge. That thoroughfare was packed, also. What they saw bowled them over… People were crying, right out in the open, as soon as they laid eyes on John…They were swept up in the

wave now…When they reached…. Manhattan…there were more people hanging over the railings…and they were crying and waving little flags and pouring their hearts out. Has there ever been a nonfiction work more American than The Right Stuff? The brave Shepard, the dutiful Glenn, plus Gordon Cooper, the good times hero. In the background was Yeager, the ultimate Wolfe hero: The taciturn mountain man, who was glad to break the speed of sound, but also a man who neither needed nor desired the celebrity that went with being a Mercury astronaut. Yeager was content to stay in the background, coaching and gently prodding his protégées. The man didn’t mind taking off in an Air Force jet every now and then for another bout with the sound barrier. Wolfe once called his white suit a “form of passive aggression.” His work, fiction and nonfiction alike, also had an impish quality to it. Wolfe knew that by the 1960s, the ‘WASP’ (and he was a member of the tribe) was being resented and ridiculed by ethnic groups one and all. The man put a twist on things. WASP you say? Try Chuck Yeager. Try Junior Johnson. This extended to his novels: Sherman McCoy of The Bonfire of The Vanities, Charlie Crocker in A Man in Full and I Am Charlotte Simmons, a novel about the western North Carolina mountain girl of that same name who conquers an elite college campus. Authentic heroes and heroines all. The Right Stuff is Wolfe’s best book. It’s a time capsule representing an Innocent America.

A Moon Landing To Remember Cradle of Aviation to celebrate Apollo 11 with Moon Fest by AnThony MURRAy

he collection that the Garden City-based Cradle of Aviation has in terms of air and spacecraft is expansive. Some might even dare to say it is out of this world. “We have 75 planes and spacecraft in the collection, so it takes you through its eight galleries and it takes you through more than 100 years of history tied to the region,” said Cradle of Aviation president Andrew Parton. “Everything we have is tied to Long Island and the metropolitan area in terms of either the aircraft or spacecraft that was built here or a milestone that was created here, which is why we have all the Apollo artifacts because Apollo was built here.” Since landing on the moon 50 years ago, the historic Apollo 11 mission is being celebrated throughout the country. However, nothing seems as impressive as what the Cradle of Aviation has planned for the anniversary with its Moon Fest that is planned for Saturday, July 20. “It’s a fun family festival,” explained Parton. “We’re going to have astronaut counters with a couple of shuttle astronauts who grew up on Long Island, so people can be able to meet, take photos and have autographs with them.”

Lunar Module 13 displayed at the Cradle of Aviation. (Photo courtesy of Cradle of Aviation)

Expected to come out for the celebration are space shuttle astronauts Bill Shepherd of Babylon and Charlie Camarda of Ozone Park, as well as astronaut Bob Cenker. “We have model rocket launches outside in the parking lot for kids,” said Parton. “We’re going to have solar telescopes where people can safely look up at the sun, assuming it is out that day. Also people will have the opportunity to see the Apollo

IMAX movie, which will run on the hour. At 4:17 p.m., which is the actual time of the landing 50 years ago, we’re going to do a countdown and lower a third-scale model from the ceiling to the ground timed to the exact moment the astronauts landed on the moon, so it’ll be like New Year’s Eve with the countdown.” In addition to that, the Cradle of Aviation will have an exhibit that will run through the middle of August called Journey to Space. “It’s a lot of interactive things for kids about going back to the moon or going to Mars or just space travel in general,” said Parton. “We have the flight simulators that the astronauts trained on (they trained at both the Kennedy Space Center and at Grumman). We have a lot of artifacts that are related to Apollo with something flown on every mission and we also have a replica of the clean room where they built and designed the lunar modules. In that room, we have the actual first lunar module built, which was the test article so you can see a lunar module that is fully loaded as well as one without its skin.” Tickets for Moon Fest can be purchased at www. cradleofaviation.org/apollo or call 516-572-4066. Discounts for Grumman retirees and museum memberss. Proceeds benefit museum education and preservation programs.

The Giant Leap: Grumman’s Finest Hour by joe sCoTChie

jScotcHie@antonmediagroup.com

viation history and Long Island are one and the same. In the spring of 1927, when the brazen Charles Lindbergh was set for his historic flight across the Atlantic Ocean to a joyously waiting France, the then-unknown aviator chose Roosevelt Field for take-off. In the wee morning hours of May 20, 1927, the Spirit of St. Louis, Lindbergh’s big bird, took off. An incredible 33 hours later, Lindbergh landed the plane in Paris. Back home, Lindbergh was fêted with a ticker tape parade down Broadway, while retiring later to the legendary MacKay House in Roslyn to digest his achievement. Flash forward to the early 1960s. The space race is on. In 1957, the Soviet Union shocked an unsuspecting America with the successful launch of Sputnik, the first capsule to be rocketed into outer space. Science fiction

was dead. Worse, the United States feared the Russians would rule the heavens and with it, the Earth. The administration of Dwight D. Eisenhower was not committed to a space race with Moscow. Eisenhower’s successor, the idealistic John F. Kennedy declared in 1961 that landing a man on the moon before the end of the decade should be a top priority. In the early ’60s, the nation was flush with money. The project was doable. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963, brought his pledge into sharper focus. The United States responded to Moscow with the Mercury and Gemini programs. The Apollo missions would fulfill Kennedy’s vision. Cape Canaveral, FL, not little Roosevelt Field, was the takeoff zone. But Long Island once again figured heavily in aeronautic history. That came in the dedicated engineers and workers at the Grumman Bethpage facility. Grumman’s contributions were

immense. Primary was the design and construction of the Lunar Module, that small landing capsule, outfitted in gold foil, the one that broke away from the main ship and hurtled to the moon, with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin finding a landing space, touching down and making mankind’s first ever steps on a surface other than Planet Earth. Even the taciturn Walter Cronkite got enthused while on the air. “Man on the moon! Whew boy!” he blurted out. Cronkite’s space expert commentator, astronaut Wally Schirra, wiped away tears of joy. Watching that fragile cabin blast off from the moon was like being in a movie theater. Buck Rogers really did come to life. The module was only one component of Grumman’s work. These epic moonshots were essentially the product of computer technology guiding mortal man through space (flying skills were a matter of life and death, too). The Bethpage facility provided software for guidance and trajectory

control. They figured in communications as well, constructing the black and white camera that was attached to the lunar module, one that captured Armstrong’s historic steps down the ladder and onto the moon’s surface, while saying those unforgettable

words, “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” Grumman also supplied the antennas that flashed that image and those of Armstrong and Aldrin prancing on the moon all back to the billions watching in amazement on television. Finally, Grumman engineers built the space vehicle recovery parachutes for those always-thrilling splashdowns in the big drink. For their efforts, Grumman engineers earned an Emmy Award. That seems beside the point. From take off to the moon landing to the moon walk and to the splashdown itself, Grumman was the indispensable force behind Apollo 11. It remains Bethpage’s finest hour. Those who watched the drama of Apollo 11 can never forget it. The liftoff took place on a clear, sunny day and the rest of the flight went so smoothly that one can scarcely believe that Apollo 11 flight managers considered the moonshot an extremely risky undertaking. The flight team was prepared for total failure, which would have ben witnessed by family members helplessly watching it all on television. It didn’t happen. Only imagine the memories Grumman employees have of those historic days. Several years ago, some of them shared those sentiments for a nationally televised program on another Apollo 11 anniversary. Here are some examples. “I would like to go back and have that time again,” recalled Chuck Tanner from the Lunar Module team. “It was a wonderful time. It was the finest group of men and women that you could imagine ever working with.” “You knew it was going to soar, and then it was going to sink,” added Hal Larkin. “Then when it really happened

And everything you have today, or a lot of it, has come from the Apollo program.” “You couldn’t believe that this happened, and that you were a part of it,” a still-amazed Dick Jones reflected. But they were. All of them. All of the ingenious Long Island men and women of the Bethpage Grumman miracle. By the way, ol’ Charlie Lindbergh was still around in 1969. He joined Armstrong, Aldrin and Michael Collins for the emotional celebration with President Nixon at the White House. Things do have a way of coming together.

Long Island’s Water Problem Part Three: How to rescue those drowning in chemicals BY RUDY MALCOM editorial@antonmediagroup.com

“Why is it that we only come to find out about this chemical because Michael Hickey, a private citizen, sends his water to get tested following the tragic death of his father—and not as a result of routine or required regulatory testing?” asked Dr. Laura Rabinow. Rabinow was a Legislative Fellow in the New York State Senate when Hoosick Falls’ perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) contamination came to light. During the summer of 2014, Hickey paid for his water to be tested after observing a high cancer rate in his community of Hoosick Falls, a rural village in upstate New York, revealing a PFOA level of 540 parts per trillion (ppt). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) set a guideline for PFOA of 70 ppt in 2016. PFOA is an emerging contaminant— an unregulated potential toxin identified by the EPA as likely to surface in water supplies. After reviewing federal data collected between 2013 and 2016, a recent New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) report uncovered PFOA and its similarly toxic chemical cousin perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), along with 1,4-dioxane, in Long Island’s water systems at levels above the EPA’s reference concentrations—non-enforced estimates of the maximum acceptable concentration of a toxic substance over a lifetime of exposure, which “do not represent regulatory values or action levels,” cautions an EPA web page. Elías Rodríguez, the Media Relations Branch Chief of the EPA’s Region 2, wrote that the “EPA will propose a regulatory determination for PFOA and PFOS by the end of this year.” On July 8, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the state’s plans to set the nation’s first enforceable Maximum

Although the Grants in the amount of $350 million proposed MCLs follow the DWQC’s are now available for recommendations from December, statewide water quality Moran suggested that, seven months improvement projects, later, they’re now obsolete. Silk wrote announced Cuomo on July that those recommendations were 8. Dr. Judith Schreiber, “reviewed thoroughly.” former chief scientist “It’s so important that they set stanof environmental dards that align with the latest science,” protection for the Moran said. New York Attorney Schreiber, head of Schreiber General’s Office, Scientific, LLC, characterized the

proposed MCLs as “pretty sound,” but added that they “could be lower.” She explained that toxicologists base risk assessment on the overall weight of hundreds of studies’ sometimes contradictory evidence. Schreiber developed risk assessment practices for 20 years at the DOH. She also noted that PFOA and PFOS are two types of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). She reasoned that all “PFASs should be regulated and monitored as a class.” Although research indicates that other PFASs pose similar detrimental health effects to PFOA and PFOS, they haven’t been investigated as thoroughly by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Loreen Hackett and her family have lived in Hoosick Falls for most of their lives. Their immune systems are impaired, she’s had breast cancer and thyroid issues, and her granddaughter was diagnosed with a thyroid disease at 5 months old. Hackett feels comfortable drinking from the tap again because the DOH installed granular activated carbon filters and held industrial polluters accountable. Dr. Jaymie Meliker—an associate professor of Family, Population and Preventive Medicine at Stony Brook University who studies exposure-disease relationships—discourages Long Islanders from opting for bottled water if they harbor concerns. The Food and Drug Administration, he said, regulates only about 20 contaminants in bottled water. “It’s likely to be worse,” he said. However, Hoosick Falls’ PFOA contamination was much worse than Long Island’s, where the highest reported detection of PFOA, in the Town of Hempstead Water District, was 11 times lower. Hackett criticized the NYPIRG report’s assertion that the “Long Island region has, by far, the most detections of emerging contaminants found in drinking water.” (Moran explained that though the report analyzes groundwater, which is treated before it becomes drinking water, treatment systems often lack filters for certain

Public wells that serve fewer than 10,000 people, like in Hoosick Falls, aren’t included in the report because they’re not tested under the EPA’s Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule. This deficit, Moran stated, leaves about 2.4 million New Yorkers in the dark. However, Cuomo’s proposed MCLs would require all public water systems, “regardless of their size,” to regularly monitor PFOA, PFOS and 1,4-dioxane, according to the press release. Moran added that data collected by the EPA, though available online, are hard for the public to access because they often require wading through multiple complicated documents. “We decided to review the data because...there’s a good chance that what happened in Hoosick Falls could be the very same story in another

community,” Moran said. Hackett chronicled how she became an advocate for stricter PFAS regulation in Hoosick Falls. “After the announcement from the EPA, I dove headfirst into research mode, as did many of us here,” she said. “Several of us grouped together.” Hackett recounted her family’s discovering their high levels of PFOA blood contamination after the DOH implemented a confidential biomonitoring program. “We could either keep the information private,” she said, “or try to use it constructively.” And so she made a Twitter account to raise awareness about the health effects of PFASs. “The more we know, the more action we’re going to get from our officials,” she said. “I’m not a toxicologist, but I read every study I can.” Hackett encourages obstetricians to learn more about how breastfeeding transfers PFAS contamination (as does the placenta in utero). Schreiber explained that PFASs can reach a person’s fats and blood

supply, from which breast milk is produced. “The mother’s breast milk will contain levels of these chemicals because of her prior exposures,” Schreiber said, noting that “very little” of a PFAS gets excreted in urine or feces. Hackett rejected the stance—the prevailing view, according to Schreiber—that the well-established benefits of breastfeeding outweigh the risks of PFAS contamination for infants. Schreiber recommended that parents consult pediatricians on whether to breastfeed and if they choose to use formula, prepare it with uncontaminated water. “I’ve done a lot of work on different chemicals in breast milk exposure, and it’s really emotional for women to realize that their bodies are contaminated,” Schreiber said. “Mothers want to do the best things for their babies.” Schreiber added that children can inhale and ingest house dust containing PFASs from consumer products, like Gore-Tex shoes. Megan Bellstedt, Outreach Coordinator for ConsumerNotice.org, which seeks to raise awareness about environmental hazards, said consumers can limit their PFAS exposure by “stopping the use of old pots and pans

and using caution with old carpet and old furniture.” “Stay in touch with your local water commission,” she added. Dr. Alissa Cordner, co-director of the PFAS Project Lab at Northeastern University, remarked that PFASs’ effects on fetuses and young children often inspire activism. She also underscored why PFOA and PFOS took so long to be removed from production despite the chemical industry’s knowledge of their toxicity “as early as perhaps the 1960s.” “Profit motive on the industry side,” she said, “combined with an insufficient regulatory system.” Rabinow, who studies the absence of standards for emerging contaminants, agreed. She suggested that people talk to their doctors about how to best limit their exposure to toxins, but ultimately stressed that “these are structural and systematic problems.” “We need to better hold industries accountable,” she said, “and make sure that the burden of these contaminants is not being displaced onto our communities.” Rudy Malcom is a reporter with Anton Media Group.

A Salute To The Weekly Newspaper Y

Investing in solar and other renewables. One of the many ways we’re using smart technology to keep our island green for generations to come.

PSEGLINY.com

205083 B

ears ago, before I ever became a candidate for public office, I started my writing career by working for a weekly newspaper. All through high school, college and law school, I worked part time, mostly nights, reporting, editing, coordinating and distributing the local papers. The daily newspaper business has suffered from the emergence of social media, but luckily for many communities around America, there are still numerous weeklies, performing a service that no one can match. As we celebrate our nation’s independence it is worthwhile to pause and recognize the contributions that the weekly papers make. President Trump enjoys attacking the national media on a daily basis with his hollow claim of “fake news.” To those of us in the political world those words mean that he disagrees with the truth. But when it comes to the weekly newspaper, no one can challenge the fact that they are as important to the average citizen as any media outlet that I could name. Weekly newspapers date as far back as the 17th century, according to Wikipedia. The first known publication The Relation started in 1605 in Strasburg, Germany, followed by the Aviso, in a village known as Wolfenbuttel. Over a period of years, weekly newspapers in North America followed a similar format. Today’s weekly features community news, sports, family news, obituaries, features and reviews, editorials, public notices and hopefully some advertising. Long Islanders get a taste of major news items from Newsday, but nothing compares to how much information you can gain from the weekly paper.

INSIDE POLITICS Jerry Kremer

For years, the daily newspapers have tried to highlight important developments on a village-by-village and a town-by-town basis, but they can’t give you the in-depth knowledge of what is going on in your home town in the way that a weekly does. At the end of any typical week, I like to learn what my local government is or isn’t doing. I check the editorials and even read the letters to the editor. I feel good about the local high school team that has won some major award and it’s nice to spot the name of a student who has made a major scholastic achievement. Not too many people read the legal notices, but they are the only place you can locate information that could aﬀect your home and your livelihood. A legal notice that some local government is planning to take away your front yard or that you owe property taxes and you are sure you paid them, won’t be found in the New York Times. Each year around July 4, we celebrate the many freedoms we enjoy thanks to our Declaration of Independence. Let’s salute the weekly newspaper business for the many things it does to enhance our quality of life.

Graduate Nursing Program Receives $2.7 Million Grant

he Hofstra Northwell School of Graduate Nursing and Physician Assistant Studies has been awarded a $2,749,151 grant by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to create a nursing pipeline for underserved communities. The grant, Creating an Integrative Family Nurse Practitioner Value Based Student to Practice Model, will support the graduate nursing program’s innovative academic-practice partnership to prepare primary care/ advanced practice nurses to work in rural and underserved settings. Through an inter-professional learning model, the nursing school graduates family nurse practitioners (FNP), adult gerontology-acute care nurse practitioners (AGACNP), psychiatric-mental health nursing practitioners (PMHNP), registered nurse first assistants and sexual assault forensic examiner nurses.

The new award, the third grant that the nursing program has received from the federal agency, will create a pipeline of experienced primary care nurse practitioners through 2023.

“This grant helps us provide enhanced education opportunities and resources to our advanced practice nurses who will enter the workforce in the specialties of primary

and family care, as well as geriatrics and other clinical areas to deliver value-based care,” said Kathleen Gallo, RN, PhD, dean of the graduate school. “Nurse practitioners play a vital role in the health care delivery system, as evidenced by the growing demand for their services due to an aging population and a shortage of primary care physicians.” Since its inception in 2015, the school has graduated 73 nurse practitioners and seven registered nurse first assistants. The school also received two other advanced nursing education/program grants from HRSA: In 2016, $1,644,223 for Creating a Nurse Practitioner Student Transitionto-Primary Care Practice Model; and in 2018, $754,236 for a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner program. To date, the school has received $5,147,610 in federal grants to help fulfill its mission. —Submitted by Northwell Health

Staller Center debuts 24

BY RUDY MALCOM

ook no further for your cinematic paradise. The Staller Center for the Arts will screen 36 new independent films from almost 20 different nations at the Stony Brook Film Festival between July 18 and July 27. Throughout the 10 days, visitors will mingle with filmmakers, directors, actors and producers from across the globe as they experience the U.S. and world premieres of several American indie and foreign films. Alan Inkles, director of the Staller Center and the Stony Brook Film Festival, called this year’s mix of dramas, comedies and documentaries the festival’s most diverse since he founded it 24 years ago. “We’re going to take you to the depths of despair and also give you some very funny belly laughs,” Inkles said. “It’s a great whirlwind.” According to Inkles, for many of the 36 “jewels” that he and co-programmer Kent Marks handpicked from more than 3,000 entries, the festival is “the only chance you’ll get to see them”—unless they get picked up by American distributors, which is unlikely due to low demand, though the films that win awards at the world-renowned festival do “get a leg up.” “You can count on two hands the number of foreign language films that have done well in this country

during the last 20 years,” he said. “Even American indie films can’t get out there because there’s too many screens playing Toy Story 26 and Spider-Man 18...We get the opportunity to show some really great films that you can’t see anywhere else.” Inkles believes that many Americans prefer blockbusters to foreign films because of the nuisance of reading too-small subtitles. He explained, however, that the Main Stage Theater’s 40-foot screens will allow the universal messages of the festival’s foreign offerings to resonate. “The subtitles are so large that you forget you’re reading subtitles,” he said. “These are things happening to someone in Israel or China or Senegal, but they’re stories about human nature...Once you get past two minutes of a foreign language, you’re not watching anything that is so foreign to you.” You’re likely not fleeing 20th century East Germany in a hot air balloon, Inkles admits, alluding to the festival’s opening night feature Balloon, “but you’re dealing with parents and their children who won’t

First, don’t spend of Medicare, Medigap supplemental insurance, health savings accounts (HSAs), long-term care policies, continuing health insurance through your current or former employer and other dedicated health care savings. Another tip is to minimize your risk. As you turn your investments into income, it’s important to assess your level of risk to avoid disruptions in your income. Ensure you have a diversified portfolio that suits your anticipated spending and balances your needs for liquidity and growth. For example, consider having a year to several years of easily accessible investments to provide income in case of a market downturn or an unexpected financial event in your life. At the same time, it’s important to also have investments that are positioned for growth. When the time comes, withdraw specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

Rocco A. Carriero wisely, as a well-crafted retirement income plan can help you avoid running out of money and feel more confident about what could be decades spent in retirement. If your assets include a mix of Social Security, annuities, retirement assets and other investment earnings, decide which you will tap into first. Remember that at 70 and a half years of age, you are mandated to take required minimum distributions from your traditional IRA and employer-sponsored retirement plans, so work this income into your plan. It also doesn’t hurt to work with

someone who knows what they are doing, like a tax advisor. Reducing the tax bill on retirement income must be a priority for retirees. Yet research shows 53 percent of retirees feel it is too complex. Starting the planning process early and seeking guidance from a tax and financial advisor can help. Rocco A. Carriero is a private wealth advisor and the author of Three Cords Approach to Life and Wealth Management for Business Owners, published with ForbesBooks, a book publishing imprint of Forbes Media.

Arthritis Prevention And Care Tips

wollen, stiff and painful joints are common symptoms of arthritis or joint disease. There are more than 100 types of arthritis and related conditions that can also affect connective tissues and organs, including the eyes, heart, lungs and skin. While thick, knobby fingers may reveal surface signs of arthritis, deeper down in the joints where bones connect, and even in soft tissue, is where arthritis can wield debilitating damage. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that 54.4 million American adults, or about one in four, have arthritis, and that by 2040, an estimated 78 million U.S. adults age 18 and older will have arthritis—a leading cause of work disability in the country. Anyone of any age can get arthritis. The Arthritis Foundation says that about 300,000 babies and children have arthritis or a rheumatic condition—but the joint disease becomes more common with age. “While the causes of many types of arthritis are unknown, a number of risk factors increase the likelihood of getting arthritis,” said Gregg Balbera, president of Right at Home Nassau Suffolk. “Age is a factor because the older you get, the more wear and tear your joints endure.

We work with a number of older clients who injured themselves when they were younger and the accumulated stress on their joints has accelerated the occurrence of arthritis.” The increased risk for arthritis is also higher among individuals who have chronic health conditions such as obesity or diabetes. The Arthritis Foundation reports that 31 percent of adults who are obese have arthritis and 47 percent of diabetics are arthritic.

Family genetics also influences who develops certain types of arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis. The CDC notes that inheriting specific genes, the HLA (human leukocyte antigen) class II genotypes, elevates the risk for arthritis and can intensify arthritic conditions. Common types of arthritis and risk factors Arthritis symptoms can come and go or be steadily persistent with

varying degrees of pain severity. Common types of arthritis include osteoarthritis, which is the most common type of arthritis that occurs when cartilage, the protective connective tissue on the ends of bones, thins and deteriorates, causing friction in joint movement. Rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disorder, occurs when a person’s immune system attacks the body’s healthy tissues, eroding the lining of joints (synovium) and triggering painful inflammation. Psoriatic arthritis, a type of inflammatory arthritis, is typically associated with psoriasis, a skin disease that presents with a red, scaly rash. People with psoriatic arthritis often experience swelling in their hands, knees, ankles and feet, with fingers and toes sometimes swelling to a sausage shape. Other familiar forms of arthritis include ankylosing spondylitis, mainly affecting the spine; gout, caused by a buildup of uric acid crystals in a joint; and lupus, a systemic autoimmune disorder. How to prevent arthritis While some forms of arthritis cannot be prevented, many types can be minimized or slowed by making certain lifestyle changes. Some of

the best ways to keep joints healthy and prevent degenerative arthritis include maintaining a healthy weight, which adds stress to weight-bearing joints like the knees or hips and avoiding injuries to joints, ligaments and cartilage, especially if you are an athlete in high-impact sports. It is also a good idea to ease up on repetitive movements as certain activities and occupations with repetitive motions such as running, jumping, lifting, bending and kneeling can wear down cartilage that cushions joints in the body. Be smart and protect your immune system as a strong, healthy immune system can help counter inflammatory arthritis and can also lessen symptoms of infectious arthritis caused by a virus, bacterium or fungus. Last but not least, avoid smoking. Research has found that smoking elevates a person’s risk for developing rheumatoid arthritis and can heighten the disease symptoms. Smoking also lowers the body’s immunity levels and hinders a person from staying physically active. Care tips for arthritis A thorough evaluation, early diagnosis and on-target treatment from a rheumatologist will help lessen joint changes and chronic pain. In treating and managing arthritis, a central goal is to reduce symptoms and improve a person’s mobility and function. For

mild to moderate arthritis symptoms, the doctor may advise a combination of the following at-home care tips: taking over-the-counter pain relievers or anti-inflammatory medicines; taking prescription corticosteroids or anti-rheumatic drugs; applying heat and cold therapies to soothe pain; staying active, yet getting sufficient rest; strengthening the muscles around the affected joint; allowing the joint to rest and protecting it from overuse or strain and eating a

nutritious diet to maintain a healthy weight; and boosting the body with anti-inflammatory foods such as green, leafy vegetables and fatty fish. “An arthritis diagnosis can be a lot to handle, especially for older adults and adults with disabilities,” said Balbera. “This is where a strong support system of family, friends and professional at-home caregivers proves invaluable. Together, we can help the loved one follow a treatment plan of medications,

exercise and balanced nutrition. And, Right at Home provides companionship and moral support to ease the emotional stress of managing the disease while aiming to live well today and in the future.” For additional information about arthritis and rheumatologists in your area, contact the Arthritis Foundation at www.arthritis.org or call 1-844-571-4357. —Submitted by Right At Home

Snowbirds Beware: Watch Out For The Tax Man BY KAREN TENENBAUM

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

t is great to be able to spend the winter months in a warm climate and then return to New York in the summer to be with your children and grandchildren. While dual homes offer many benefits, they can also cause significant tax problems if you don’t know the rules. If you have a primary residence outside of New York, but also own or use residential property in New York, you may be subject to a New York residency audit. This can result in a big tax bill because a New York resident must pay state income tax on all income, regardless of where it is earned. Nonresidents pay tax to New York State on only New York source income, such as wages or rental income earned in New York. There are two tests for residency and either one can make you a New York resident. The first is the location of your domicile. Your domicile is the one place you intend to have as your permanent home. Auditors will look at several factors to determine your domicile, such as: What is the use, maintenance, value and size of your New York home as compared to that of the non-New

Karen Tenenbaum York home? Where do you conduct your business activities? Where is your family residing? Where do you keep special items (photos, jewelry, pets, etc.)? How much time do you spend in New York as compared to your out-of-state residences? Other factors like where you have a driver’s license, register to vote and have bank accounts, won’t help you, but can be held against you. Remember, even if you do not spend significant time in the state, New York can still be considered

your domicile. If your domicile is not in New York, do you maintain a permanent place of abode and spend more than 183 days of the year in New York? Let’s say you moved to Florida, but you kept your New York house so you can freely visit. To determine if you are a New York resident for income tax purposes, auditors will check if you have a permanent place of abode in New York, defined as a residence (building or structure in which a person can live) that is maintained by the taxpayer and is suitable for yearround use. Even if others are using the place (relatives, renters, etc.), it could still be considered your abode under certain circumstances. Next, you must meet the day count requirement. Generally, the rule is that a partial day counts as a full day, with some limited travel and medical exceptions. So even going to dinner in New York counts as a full day. A residency audit is very document intensive and personally

invasive. Typically, you have the burden to prove that you were not in New York. Auditors can look at your appointment calendars, credit cards, passports, phone bills, cell phone site data, mobile apps that track and record your location and other documents to determine whether you have met either of the tests for New York residency. Unfortunately, if you’re not careful, you can lose out on some of the benefits of your second home. If you’ve received a New York residency questionnaire or are being audited, there are several options available for resolving your tax dispute. Contact a qualified attorney to assist you.

Preventing Common Health Issues In Older Adults As people age, a number of health conditions can shift, causing mild irritation and consternation to a full outbreak of pain and disability. For some older adults, their eyesight dims or hearing fades. For others, arthritis sets in or their teeth start to break. Since American seniors on average are living another 19 years once they reach age 65, those two decades can prove challenging for keeping healthy. “Many changes in physical condition and ability gradually occur as a person ages, so what is considered a ‘minor health issue,’ a cut on the skin for example, can be a serious health risk to an elderly person,” said Gregg Balbera, president of Right at Home Nassau Suffolk. “So how can a senior ward off the common health issues of aging and remain healthy overall in later life? Are certain declines in health inevitable or actually preventable?” Balbera suggests prevention measures for age-related health changes in older adults.

Skin • Protect your skin from the damaging effects of sun exposure. Staying out of direct sun is one of the most effective and cheapest ways to maintain healthy, youthful-looking skin. The American Academy of Dermatology offers a number of valuable resources on sun safety, including how to select and apply sunscreen. • Get an annual full-body skin check from a professional dermatologist. The Cleveland Clinic estimates that 40 to 50 percent of people who live to at least age 65 will develop basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer at least once. Skin cancer in the United States is the most prevalent type of cancer. • Prevent skin dryness and itching by increasing humidity in the home and countering the drying effects of winter overheating and summer air

conditioning. • Go easy on using antiperspirants, soaps and perfumes, and taking hot baths or showers—all of these are drying on the skin. Applying a moisturizer within a few minutes after taking a bath or shower can help prevent skin dryness. • Keep adequately hydrated. • Ask your doctor about getting the shingles vaccine. Older adults are more susceptible to contracting this painful, blistery skin rash that lives in nerve cells after an earlier outbreak of the chickenpox virus.

Embrace every day because every day counts.

Dental • Brush your teeth at least twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste. Clean between teeth daily with dental floss or a special flossing product. • Clean dentures daily with specific cleaners designed for dentures. • Relieve dry mouth symptoms by drinking more water and using an over-the-counter spray or mouthwash moisturizer. If dry mouth is a problem, check with your physician about changing medications or dosages. • Visit your dentist at least once a year for teeth cleaning and a dental exam. • If daily oral care is challenging, talk with your dentist or dental hygienist about a different approach with keeping teeth and gums clean. • Quit smoking. Smoking leads to increased problems with tooth decay, gum disease and tooth loss.

Sensory • Get a yearly eye exam if you are age 50 and older or have known health risks. If you are diabetic, you will need regular eye exams and careful blood sugar monitoring. • Eat a nutritious diet that promotes healthy eyesight. Foods packed

the bladder. Some people find that sodas, artificial sweeteners and citrus- and tomato-based foods make bladder problems worse. Constipation can also put extra pressure on the bladder and keep it from properly expanding. • Practice wise health habits overall. Since there is no sure-fire prevention for prostate cancer, medical professionals recommend reducing risk for the disease by maintaining a healthy weight, staying physically active and eating a diet high in certain vegetables. Several studies have shown that consuming cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower), tomatoes, soy, beans and other legumes have lowered the risk for prostate cancer.

with vitamins A, C and E and rich in omega fatty acids help protect the eyes from dryness and infection. • If you smoke, quit. Smoking significantly increases the risk for macular degeneration that causes blurring or vision loss in the eye’s center field of vision. • Wear durable eye protection for activities that could injure the eyes (e.g., certain contact sports, construction, metal working, handling firearms and working with chemicals).

Hearing • Avoid exposure to loud noises. Wear earplugs, ear muffs or custom ear gear when around activities or events with excess noise. • Turn down the volume on music, the television, etc. Use noise-canceling earphones or headphones. • Use a smartphone app that measures noise levels and be sure it is properly calibrated for an accurate reading. • Talk to your doctor about medications that can be harmful to hearing. • Know your family history and medical conditions that can cause hearing deficits. • Ask your doctor about a hearing screening as part of an annual physical. After age 50 or if you or others notice your hearing diminish, make

an appointment with an audiologist for a hearing health evaluation.

USWNT Wins Fourth World Cup, Parade Down Broadway BY MARCO SCHADEN

mschaden@antonmediagroup.com

egan Rapinoe and the U.S. Women’s National Team celebrated the country’s fourth World Cup on July 10 by parading down the Canyon of Heroes in New York City. The team went into the tournament as the favorites, but faced amplified competition from European countries that have devoted more money and resourses to the women’s game. The U.S. scored a total of 18 goals and shutout out each of their three opponents in the group stage, including

a controversial 13-0 win vs. Thailand. The United States then beat a much-improved Spain in the Round of 16 teams, 2-1. France, the host-country, was seen by many experts to be America’s toughest opponent and the two giants played in the quarter-final instead of an anticipated final match. The Americans would prove to be too strong and pull out a 2-1 victory to have the right to play England in the semi finals. England, under Manager Phil Neville, gave the United States perhaps its toughest test. Sporting one of the game’s

best players, Lucy Bronze, England was able to control the midfield and slip through passes to Ellen White. But the United States were clinical in front of net all tournament long and first half goals from left winger Christen Press and forward Alex Morgan put them into the finals vs. Netherlands. The United States outplayed the Netherlands for most of the game and after a scoreless first half, Golden Boot and Golden Ball winner, left winger Megan Rapinoe scored from the penalty spot in the 61st minute. Central midfielder Rose LaVelle was the breakout star of the tournament and she

USWNT star Megan Rapinoe poses for photos as the team’s float goes down the Canyon of Heroes. (Photo by Bill Hart) added a stupendous goal with her left foot in the 69th minute to give the United States the cushion it needed to secure its fourth star. Throughout the tournament and led by Rapinoe, the team was outspoken in calling for the equal rights of women and minorities. Rapinoe became somewhat of a lightning rod politically back home in the United States, while the team backed up their words by winning every game without much of a hiccup. “This is my charge to

everyone,” said co-captain Rapinoe in front of City Hall in NYC at the end of the parade. “We have to be better. We have to love more, hate less. We have to listen more, talk less. We have to know that this is everybody’s responsibility. Every single person that agrees and does not agree, it’s our responsibility to make this world a better place. I think this team does an incredible job of taking that on our shoulders and understanding the position and platform that we have.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Don’t look back. Leave the nostalgia for another day -- a day when this plan that’s coming together in your mind has been already executed. There’s too much important work ahead. What you did before and who you were has very little to do with this new iteration. Forward march. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Variety will be worthwhile. You can only learn from the people you meet when they know something different from what you know. So people from foreign backgrounds with specialties out of your ordinary experience are particularly enriching to you. You’ll be better, and happier, for having reached out. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In the entertainment world, high drama is revered, but when a real-life person or scenario is likened to a lot of drama, the negative connotations are strong. Drama doesn’t have to be negative. In fact, you benefit from a little of it this week. It opens the gate on your emotions and puts you back in touch with your feelings. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Growth cannot be bought. You may pay a wonderful teacher to model and guide the way, but you still have to do your own growing. This week, you’ll note how you’ve grown, and you’ll be tempted to credit your teacher completely. It’s now appropriate and necessary to give yourself more credit. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll make a judgment call. This starts with an assessment. The temptation will be to rate the reality of a situation as somehow below the expectation. Your standards were not too high, just irrelevant. Misinformation and misunderstanding will do that. Now you know better and can choose to start over, or not. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s as though you were tricked into spending your time on things that do not interest you much. No, you were not forced at gunpoint; nonetheless, the social and cultural pressure was more than you could resist. Here comes the change. Seize the chance to focus on what fascinates, challenges and motivates you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll dive headlong into the hard stuff this week. Even though the effort and risk involved is daunting, you’re eager to level up. You’ll push yourself to do better work, know your personal best and be worthy of a life that inspires you. You’ll enact behaviors that will elevate your sense of what you deserve. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your deepest needs are mysterious even to you. Get to know yourself better. Direct you-to-you questioning won’t work. You’ll only answer with your conscious mind, which is clueless about the animal inside. Instead, notice what you crave, enjoy and are attracted to. Hints are hiding inside pleasure. Remember pleasure? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Continual course correction isn’t something that happens just because mistakes were made. Continual course correction is how ships reach port, airplanes land in the right city and wilderness hikers get to the waterfall. Traveling through nature demands continual course correction. Your life is nature, too. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re still learning how to be on your own side. When you look back, be kind. Don’t judge your former self based on your current standards. Love the person you were, appreciate the steps taken to transform into who you are now, and then love that person, too. Love will take you further than ambition. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Clarity is seldom found in the midst of your usual routine in an environment that’s familiar to you. You need the Google Street View version of your life, though an aerial view would be more ideal. Friends help. Teachers are even better. Travel is the best. The ultimate clarity equation: traveling to a friendly teacher. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Anyone who doesn’t get your jokes, understand your plans or connect with the better side of you is, quite simply, not for you this week. Waste no focus there. Plenty of people need exactly what you can give, but chances are that you’ll only find them when you stop tending to people who are not them.

Foods In Space A brief and mostly gross history of zero-gravity grub

by sTeVe MosCo

consisting of bite-sized morsels, these freeze-dried foods were coated in gelatin to prevent crumbs from clogging the ship’s instruments and causing a space catastrophe. A typical Gemini meal included a beef sandwich, strawberry cereal cubes, peaches and gravy-packed beef cubes. Water guns were used to reconstitute the food into something at least resembling an edible product. The one (only one?) drawback was cold water was used to rehydrate the food, meaning all meals on Gemini—including the beef cubes—had to be eaten at frigid temperatures.

SmoSco@antonmediagroup.com

illing the void in your stomach while floating around the inky black void of space is no simple task. For reasons known to rocket scientists but somehow lost on this writer, the foods we eat while enjoying Earth’s favorable atmosphere and gravity could very well become deadly projectiles while in a space station, in a lunar lander or anywhere else astronauts spend their zero-gravity time. Thankfully, some of the smartest minds in the universe have made it their mission to figure out what foods are safe for space feasting and how exactly we can consume such fare without triggering a cosmological incident.

That’s One Small Nibble For Man, One Giant Bite For Mankind

According to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, astronaut John Glenn was the first American to eat in space during the Mercury space program. It happened while he was aboard Friendship 7 in 1962 and his meal (if you can call it that) consisted of tube-packed applesauce, along with xylose sugar tablets and water. Yum.

Apollo Ate

5 At the time, no one knew exactly what would happen if the human body attempted to digest food in space—so feel free to add another layer of heroism to Glenn’s résumé. Space food in the early 1960s was based mostly around army survival rations, which included a lot of puréed food in tubes, sucked through a straw. But it wasn’t just applesauce, as puréed concoctions

of beef and vegetables were also “enjoyed” by early space travelers.

Deep Space Freeze

NASA’s second manned-space mission, Gemini, saw some advancements in space grub. Dehydrated, freeze-dried and vacuum-packed foods introduced a new way for astronauts to get their allotted 2,500 calories per day in space. Usually

With Apollo, a hot water gun was introduced so the astronauts could get a (sorta) hot meal while on a mission. And in one of the greatest cosmo-based culinary advancements in history, Apollo 8 astronauts, on Christmas Eve in 1969, opened their meal packages to discover thermo-stabilized turkey with gravy and cranberry sauce— this meal did not require rehydrating and could be simply eaten with a spoon. Sweet land of liberty. Meanwhile, the spacesuits for the Apollo 13 astronauts were adorned with built-in canteens that would enable the crew members to drink

(Photo courtesy of NASA via National Air and Space Museum) while they walked on the moon. Of course, thanks to Tom Hanks and company, we know that the Apollo 13 astronauts never actually made it to the moon and thus never got to use these handy space sippys.

They Put A Meal On The Moon

When American astronauts landed on the moon in August 1969, it was considered one of the greatest technological achievements in human history—it was also considered one of the sickest burns ever and it was directed squarely at the Russians (ya burnt). But what seems to have been lost to history is exactly what Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin (and Michael Collins, I guess?) ate when they walked on the lunar surface. Thanks to Smithsonian Magazine, we finally have a definitive answer to that pressing question. It was bacon. Yes, bacon. When the lunar

6 module was readied for its mission to the moon, bacon cubes were one of the first meals stored in the cabin. And as it happened, meal A, the first one scheduled to be eaten after the moon landing, consisted of sugar cookie cubes, pineapple grapefruit drink, coffee and bacon cubes. Indeed, the sea of tranquility was the first site of America’s never-ending bacon fad.

Space Oddities

One of the foods most closely associated with space cowboys

issued to John Glenn in 1962 (Photos 6 & 7 courtesy of National Air and Space Museum)

isn’t a food at all, but rather, a beverage. Tang—an orange dust that becomes a drink when mixed with water—was used to make water aboard space missions drinkable, as apparently the onboard life support system water boasted a chemical aftertaste. Tang fixed that problem, for the most part. Years after he retired from space missions, noted moonwalker and famous curmudgeon Buzz Aldrin declared to the gossip site TMZ in 2013 that “Tang sucks.” Never change, Buzz. Then, there’s Dippin’ Dots. This fraud of a product has been declared as “the ice cream of the future” since it debuted in 1988. These liquid-nitrogen dosed mini ice cream balls first found fame in 1992 at the Kennedy Space Center, which is probably why they are associated with space travel. However, according to (somewhat) extensive Internet research, Dippin’ Dots have never left Earth’s atmosphere.

7 Modern Meals In Orbit

The advancement of science and technology means that astronauts may never have to suffer cold, gelatinous beef cubes ever again. These days, it’s actually possible to cook in space, as the International Space Station actually boasts a galley where astronauts can cook tacos, cookies and more in zero gravity. I can hear Buzz Aldrin grumbling from miles away.

HISTORY

The Standard Of Success

Apollo 11 showed America what red, white and blue can do by joseph wolkin jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

ichard Nixon was president of the United States. The New York Mets were winning baseball games. The Stonewall riots just took place. Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower recently passed away. Nixon was attempting to withdraw troops from Vietnam. America needed a pat on the back. It needed more than that. This was a nation that was suffering—physically and spiritually. Something had to be

done. And no, the debut of Sesame Street wouldn’t get the job done. President Eisenhower created the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in a response to the Soviet launch of the Sputnik satellite. From there, the race to the moon was on. And America was destined to be victorious. “The launch of Sputnik-1 in 1957 was a real shock to the American public and to the science community (in the U.S. and worldwide),” Michael Mendillo, professor of astronomy at Boston University, said. “There was no space science

at the time, but the International Geophysical Year (1957-58) did have a lot of geoscience initiatives.” America lost the initial space race—to have the first person leave the Earth—in 1961. This was different, though. This meant everything. America couldn’t let the Soviets win in the middle of the Cold War. In the post-World War II world, America was seen as a leader thanks to the development of nuclear power. It made the rest of the world realize that innovation was only starting in America. Thus, President John F. Kennedy addressed Congress in 1961,

saying, “In a very real sense, it will not be one man going to the moon. If we make this judgment affirmatively, it

will be an entire nation. For all of us must work to put him there.” The journey of Apollo 11 had no

choice but to succeed. The entire globe was watching. Everyone remembers where they were on July

20, 1969, watching man walk on the moon for the first time. “Pulling it off was a fantastic accomplishment,” Mendillo said. “And in the less than a decade of the time frame proposed by Kennedy. The Russians had sent space probes to planets, as we did, but we ‘beat them to the moon.’ This was no minor Cold War victory.” The late astronaut Neil Alden Armstrong, who passed away in 2012, will always be remembered as the first person to walk on the moon. Just after he took those famous steps, he uttered the words that entered American and global history books: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” But what if it wasn’t mission accomplished? Mendillo said that despite Newton’s law of universal gravitation, the main “challenge was in engineering.” Just two and a half years prior, the Apollo 1 fire ended the

lives of Roger Chaffee, Virgil Grisson and Ed White II at Cape Kennedy’s Launch Complex in Florida. “Given that the Russians had not gone to the moon and that we were obviously well ahead of them, we might have just continued after a period of mourning and assessment,” Mendillo said if Apollo 11 didn’t work out the way it did. “With ever-increasing resources being used in Vietnam, perhaps NASA would have changed to unmanned space probes only. With JFK gone and Nixon no champion of anything associated with Kennedy, my guess is that manned exploration would have been stopped.” Then, as Mendillo said, the standard was now success. To this day, America continues to lead the globe in space exploration, and there is little stopping this great nation in continuing with its success. Next stop, Mars?

an has always been fascinated with a trip to the stars and made that curiosity abundantly clear in films dating back to the 1902 French silent film A Trip To the Moon. That sense of galactic adventure has continued unabated through numerous movies, including 1950’s Destination Moon, 1956’s Forbidden Planet, 1971’s Solaris, 1979’s Alien, 1981’s Outland, 1983’s The Right Stuff and 2006’s The Astronaut Farmer.

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) Widely considered director Stanley Kubrick’s masterwork, this epic science fiction movie follows an astronaut’s journey to Jupiter alongside the sentient computer HAL. Tackling themes including human evolution and artificial intelligence, the film is considered groundbreaking for its depiction of space and special effects. Often placed highly on lists of the greatest films ever made, 2001 was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry in 1991.

Apollo 13 (1995) 1995’s excellent space docudrama by Ron Howard stars Tom Hanks as command pilot Jim Lovell, along with Bill Paxton and Kevin Bacon as astronauts Fred Haise and Jack Swigert. As the entire world watched in 1970, the Apollo 13 lunar mission was aborted due to an explosion on board, which slowly depleted the craft of its oxygen and electrical power. Nominated for nine Academy Awards, this film is technically incredible in its accuracy as the race to return these men home keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.
