Another friend posting about enjoying my book on the beach. Going to start referring to the book as a "beach read."

This book is a real “page turner “ and would enhance the bookshelf of any “Space Buff” — By Herb Baker A splendid book and refreshing look telling the riveting story of one man’s efforts to help the success of the US space program.

Enjoyed my interview on @SpaceBoffins recently, talking about my new book. thenakedscientists.com/podcasts/astro…

I'll be speaking about NASA and signing copies of my book Friday (6-9 pm) at the 'Remembering Columbia' Museum in Hemphill, TX, at their 'A Night at the Museum' event. I'll also be there for their remembrance activities the following day, Saturday, February 1.

Just registered for next week's Space Exploration Educators Conference 2025 at Space Center Houston. Looking forward to seeing many friends from previous years at the conference. (Photo of astronaut panel at last year's conference.) #SEEC2025

Loved this review of my book: "an inviting tour inside the everyday reality of working at NASA" and a "light and fun discussion about the organization and the people that made it work." independentbookreview.com/2025/02/04/boo…

Today, for just the 2nd time in my life, my photo was on the front page of a newspaper (in East Texas). The story was about the event at the Remembering Columbia Museum in Hemphill, TX, on the 22nd anniversary of the Columbia accident where I spoke & signed copies of my book.

If you're in the Houston area, join me and 13 other local authors for book signings & readings from our books at the UH-Clear Lake Pearland campus Saturday, Feb. 15, from 10am-2pm. It's their 'Fall In Love With Reading' event.

Earlier this week, I played with a small group of Longhorn Alumni Band (Longhorn Alumni Band) friends at a birthday party for a UT alum at a private home in River Oaks (Houston). I've been playing with several of these folks since we were in the Longhorn Band together in the 1970s.

Wishing my all-time favorite football player, Earl Campbell, a happy 70th birthday - Texas Longhorn, Houston Oiler, Heisman Trophy winner (1977), and Pro Football Hall-of-Famer.

Spoke for almost 2 hours last night about working for NASA with Nick and Tan on their Galactic Window Space Podcast. That was fun! youtube.com/watch?v=u3dKYG…

Saw my book in a university library for the first time, at the University of Houston-Clear Lake. It was next to my friend Debbie Trainor's book (From Tortillas to Astronauts) in the New Arrivals section. The library houses our NASA Alumni League Human Spaceflight archive.

Got to speak about working at NASA to both junior high and high school students at Space Center Houston last week.

Just got my invitation from NASA to attend the Astronaut Group 24 announcement at JSC on Sept. 22. Can't wait to see who the new AsCans (Astronaut Candidates) are that were selected from 8,000 applicants. Hoping one of my friends was selected.
