Fallen Astronauts: Heroes Who Died Reaching for the MoonNear the end of the Apollo 15 mission, David Scott and fellow moonwalker James Irwin conducted a secret ceremony unsanctioned by NASA: they placed on the lunar soil a small tin figurine called The Fallen Astronaut, along with a plaque bearing a list of names.

Near the end of the Apollo 15 mission, David Scott and fellow moonwalker James Irwin conducted a secret ceremony unsanctioned by NASA: they placed on the lunar soil a small tin figurine called The Fallen Astronaut, along with a plaque bearing a list of names. By telling the stories of those sixteen astronauts and cosmonauts who died in the quest to reach the moon between 1962 and 1972, this book enriches the saga of humankind's greatest scientific undertaking, Project Apollo, and conveys the human cost of the space race. Many people are aware of the first manned Apollo mission, in which Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee lost their lives in a fire during a ground test, but few know of the other five fallen astronauts whose stories this book tells as well, including Ted Freeman and C.C. Williams, who died in the crashes of their T-38 jets; the "Gemini Twins," Charlie Bassett and Elliot See, killed when their jet slammed into the building where their Gemini capsule was undergoing final construction; and Ed Givens, whose fatal car crash has until now been obscured by rumors. Supported by extensive interviews and archival material, the extraordinary lives and accomplishments of these and other fallen astronauts--including eight Russian cosmonauts who lost their lives during training--unfold here in intimate and compelling detail. Their stories return us to a stirring time in the history of our nation and remind us of the cost of fulfilling our dreams. This revised edition includes expanded and revised biographies and additional photographs.Purchase the audio edition.

Excellent Power Strip for Convenient Charging Options
I recently purchased the HOPOW Flat Plug Power Strip for my son's desk, and it has been an excellent addition to his workspace. This power strip offers a range of convenient features that have greatly impressed me.
First and foremost, the inclusion of USB A and USB C charging options is a game-changer. It's incredibly convenient to have both options readily accessible on the top of the power strip rather than tucked away on the side. This design choice ensures easy and quick charging for various devices without any hassle.
One aspect that sets this power strip apart is the individual switches with LEDs for each plug. These switches provide an added level of control, allowing me to turn off specific devices when not in use without affecting others. The LEDs also serve as handy indicators, making it easy to identify which devices are powered on at a glance.
In terms of build quality, the HOPOW Flat Plug Power Strip has truly impressed me. It feels solid and durable, giving me confidence that it will withstand regular use. The flat plug design is a clever addition, as it allows the power strip to sit flush against the wall, saving valuable space on my son's desk.
Overall, I am extremely pleased with my purchase of the HOPOW Flat Plug Power Strip. Its convenient USB charging options, easily accessible plugs, individual switches with LEDs, and impressive build quality have made it an invaluable asset for my son's desk. I highly recommend this power strip to anyone in need of a reliable and user-friendly charging solution.

switched each outlet extension cord
This is a great extension cord. The plug is flat to the wall and offset so you can use 2 plugs together in one double wall outlet. The extension cord has a switch for each outlet to turn on or off each outlet. You can control all your lights and fans from one place, also has USB-C = 2each and USB-A = 2each. Cord is extra long to find a wall outlet, colored white to blend in.

Great Power Strip to save energy.
I bought this power strip for my coffee maker, frothier, and water purification system. All of these items are never in use all day long and pull electricity if remained plugged in. Which means they cost me money when not in use. This power strip makes it energy efficient to have appliances plugged in and ready to use while saving on energy costs. I used my label maker to identify which switch was which. I plugged in the appliances to the power strip and shut off all the switches. And it works great. When I want to turn on the coffee machine I flip the switch that says Coffee Machine and know that I am only turning on that one appliance not all. That is the problem with most power strips. You have a master switch that turns them all on. This power strip turns one on at a time. Or you can turn all on by flipping each switch or two on at the same time. You are in control. I liked it so much that I bought two more. One for the kitchen appliances (Foodsaver, hot water kettle, etc.) and one for the home office. Can turn on shredder, and other computer devices as I need to.

Does the job
Size: 10 Ft (Type B with Clamp), Color: White
I think the clamp could be some show shorter, but the product looks nice and minimalistic and works perfectly.
