  • Apollo 13 at 50

    The SpaceTaskForce is back with a very important video. We couldn't let the 50th anniversary of Apollo 13 pass without a look back. We can learn a lot from this mission... and it will help get us through what we fact today.

  • Not Because It's Easy - A "novel" look at Project Apollo

    With the retirement of the Space Shuttle, members of the SpaceTaskForce went into the background - and went to work.

    One of the completed projects we're proud to present is a new book called Not Because It's Easy. Here's a preview of the book in trailer form!

    "Not Because It's Easy" is based on the history of Project Apollo - looking at the future of Space Exploration.

    Also included for our subscribers - a PDF - the first chapter of Not Because It's Easy!

    Not Because It's Easy

    A Novel by George C. Schellenger

    One part metaphorical autobiography, one part rollicking adventure story, and one part self-help guide, Not Because It's Easy is a trip to extremes you won't forget.

    For Agent Hunter Algier, it's anything but easy: saving a charter jet from crashing into the suburbs of Northern Virginia; escaping the evil clutches of his ex-wife; tracking down three artifacts from Roswell, New Mexico; listening to a possessed billionaire moonwalker talk about Project Apollo; surviving a shootout on a golf course at one of America's most prestigious country clubs; and coming face to face with a massive Tiger Shark at night.

    That's just the warm up.

    The real adventure begins in an underground cave full of poisonous spiders somewhere in the Cayman Islands, ending in orbit somewhere above the planet. Success or failure on his mission could be the difference between reaching his ultimate goal or unwittingly aiding in the destruction of the free world.

    Then again, for Agent Algier, it's a typical week on the job.

  • STS-130, Lighting up the Morning - Special Video

    Night turned to day at the Kennedy Space Center as STS-130 roared into the sky. Tim and I were fortunate to be there for an unforgettable moment to take in the launch and to think about the future. This is one of five space shuttle launches scheduled for this year, as the program winds down. Thanks, as always, to the National Space Society. Get involved, help make your future!

  • STF Video: Unlimited Visibility
    In the final part of our 4 part series, Space 2010, we remember the words of Gemini and Apollo Astronaut Ed White. In describing his first spacewalk, he talked about having "unlimited visibility." Space provides "unlimited visibility" - but it also provides something more - and the more is the focus of this final segment. On behalf of Tim and myself and all the members of the Space Task Force, special greetings this holiday season - and here's wishing that the New Year provides us all the vision for an incredible future.

  • Humanity is the Spinoff
    Is it me, or does it seem crazy, that even today, we have to justify sending people into space? The so-called "spinoff" argument. As we continue our series, Space 2010, we look at the most important spinoff of all -- ourselves.

  • STF Video: Footprints and Flags
    2009 marked 40 years since the first time people walked on the moon. 40 years. What did Apollo teach us? Have we done enough to honor the legacy - or was it just about footprints and flags? It will never be a good time to do the impossible, the difficult - or the challenging. What we need is the resolve to evolve. There is simply no other choice.
