The Ranger 9 Mission
In March of 1965, NASA launched Ranger 9, the last in a series of probes to the moon. It would never return from its one-way mission, but it would provide Americans with their first real glimpse of space in a ground-breaking live television broadcast.
Welcome to the new Project Talent Blog!
We are delighted to launch the new Project Talent blog, a forum for the project’s staff and participants to share conversations, reflections, and insights. We will be updating the blog with information we think you will find thought-provoking, enlightening and at times, entertaining!
PARTICIPANT STORIES
Richard H. Dallas, TX
"I graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School in Dallas, Texas in 1960. The teachers in my senior year had to be saints. They had dreaded having me in their classes because of my reputation as a class comedian and a general goof off." Read More
Judy P. TULSA, OK
"I was proud to attend Will Rogers High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which was awarded the Bellamy Award while I was there. I most remember my Chemistry and Physics classes." Read More
Lou N. AUBURN, NY
"I guess I should call the results of my Project Talent survey IRONIC. Results showed some disappointing scores in English grammar and usage. What's my career choice? English teacher, of course." Read More
Diane S. SOMERVILLE, MA
"Somerville, MA in the 1940's and 1950's was a unique place in which to grow up. A populous city of over 100,000, a short bus and train ride into Boston. The commercial courses at Somerville High trained me well for a secretarial position after school." Read More
