" All that we have already accomplished, and all in the future that we shall achieve, is the outgrowth not of a soulless, barren technology, nor of a grasping state imperialism. Rather, it is the product of unrestrained human talent and energy restlessly probing for the betterment of humanity."
~ Dwight D. Eisenhower, George C. Marshall Space Flight Center Dedication, September 8, 1960
Abilene, Kan. - The next virtual book club will meet July 13 at 7 p.m. central time. The program is free and open to the public -- join us online or by phone.
Join this program as if you were meeting your friends in a cozy café or living room with a glass of wine -- even if you have not read the book. The July book selection is The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe. The Right Stuff is an in-depth look at NASA's test pilot program through the eyes of the Magnificent Seven and their families. The book was adapted as a film and later a television series of the same name.
The entire reading list schedule is available on the Eisenhower Presidential Library's website (www.eisenhowerlibrary.gov).
