Several excerpts, as presented (orally?) by Philip E. Culbertson, Director, Advanced Missions, Office of Manned Space Flight, NASA during 1973 NASA Authorization Hearings before the Committee on Science and Astronautics, U.S. House of Representatives, February 8 & March 17, 1972:
“…It is anticipated that the family of research and applications modules will evolve in capability ranging from an austere Shuttle “Sortie Can” with relatively simple laboratory equipment useful in a number of disciplines through more sophisticated, dedicated laboratory and observatory facilities, including automated free-flyers serviced by the Shuttle.
One of the most promising Shuttle operating modes is the use of the orbiter as a platform for short-duration experimental investigations. We refer to this mode of operation as a Shuttle sortie mission. In addition to utilizing the advantages of the Shuttle in the design, development, and operation of payloads; the sortie mission will, for the first time, permit the investigator to accompany his experiment into space. Conducted in this manner, the sortie mission will literally transport man and his equipment from his terrestrial laboratory into space. Although there will be differences, the Shuttle sortie missions will be modeled after the NASA-Ames airborne research program…
…In order to implement this mode of operation in the Space Shuttle program, a pressurized payload carrier with the descriptive name of Sortie Can is under study…
…Sortie Can is the least expensive and simplest member of the family of research and application modules. Artist’s concepts are shown here in (MF 71-7341 [this posted photograph]) and (MF 71-7339). The Shuttle is illustrated with its cargo bay open showing the pressurized Sortie Can. The intent here is to illustrate just the simple and straightforward approach which we would hope to use to install equipment and experiments and to provide for the men in the laboratory. Equipment racks would be analogous to racks which you would find in any earthbound laboratory.
The Sortie Can will serve as an austere but pivotal element leading to economical space research programs. It will provide a shirtsleeve environment where scientific investigators will work with direct access to their experiment equipment and its control. For experiments that require access to the space environment, airlocks and a pallet external to the pressurized volume will be available.
Attached to the Shuttle Orbiter, the Sortie Can will provide the capability for operations at orbital altitudes and inclinations selected to suit the requirements of the particular experiments and investigations to be carried out. The Sortie Can will accommodate research and applications specialists from government, universities and industry; it will also provide a practical mechanism through which international cooperation and participation in space research can be achieved.
The Sortie Can effort is now undergoing conceptual in-house studies by the Marshall Space Flight Center and a selection of the most desirable concept will be made late this year. Definition studies of this concept will lead toward an in-house design and development effort which could begin in fiscal year 1974. A similar conceptual study is planned to be undertaken in Europe later this spring.”

Note the unmistakable, requisite ‘sales pitch’ tone of the excerpt. Sadly, required within the U.S. political/governmental framework, and a HUGE reason we’re where we are today…disjointed, dysfunctional and behind.
I’m assuming this is what was to become ESA’s “SPACELAB”.
So, the above excerpt (there was way more), the laser beams shooting out of/entering(?) both overhead windows AND Star Trek-like artificial gravity weren’t enough to garner funding?
Seriously though, those are laser beams, right? If so, as part of some sort of altimeter experiment?
Although there is descriptive text on the verso, it’s illegible, and my woeful stock Microsoft Photo editing software doesn’t have the ‘forensic’ capabilities to coax it out. Whatever was written is probably crap anyhow.
Finally, the artist...possibly “H. Nelson", H. Melson", "H. R. Melson"? I've got nothing thus far.

The Open Book in Richmond upon Thames is my favourite independent bookshop for miles around. It may appear small from the outside, but within its doors and stretching back for yards are shelves and shelves and shelves of the most wonderful reading available.
It’s also the bookshop of choice for luminaries such as Sir David Attenborough, Michael Frayn, Claire Tomalin and Bamber Gascoigne, all of whom live locally. Just a minute or two’s walk from Richmond Green, it’s a veritable treasure trove of the printed word.
The Open Book has been part of Richmond’s life since it was founded in 1987, and despite the seemingly relentless onslaught of online behemoths, chain stores and e-books, this wonderful independent retailer stands proud.
Part of the reason for its success is its knowledgeable and welcoming staff, against whom the giants are helpless. Long may it remain so!
♦ While you’re here… I have two Galleries that might interest you: a Bookshops gallery and a Public Libraries gallery. Happy browsing!
Oral hygiene, early a.m. - a very small garden spider rinses her mouth and fangs with a freshwater mouthwash. I offered her some Listerine, but she just spat it out :-)
SET 1 – Walmart, Morrilton, AR
One more for today, glancing back upward from the meat department towards produce (which is simply titled “FRESH” in this décor). I mentioned earlier, in that first description of the day, the juxtaposition between the white lower walls and the black upper walls: not something that I believe Walmart has done before, but a decision that I feel works very well in purposefully lowering the sightlines and drawing attention down further toward only the area of signage that really matters and, more importantly, the products below it. It’s almost as if the paint job is creating an artificial cap, or ceiling, without actually having to have a physical drop ceiling that would compromise the large, open feeling of the store. This isn’t a new practice in retail overall, but like I said it does seem to be new for Walmart, and I dig it… it works really nicely here.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
This flock of robins was making use of my sump pump outflow -- a nice steady supply of fresh, unfrozen water.

I'm working away madly on my new "Shapes" book. I'm still expecting it to be ready before Christmas. Here's an Open Window Series pendant I created for it. The texture is called "Four Play" by Pixie Art Stamps (pixieartstamps.com/) which is a new line of stamps by my husband Mike. It also features my favorite focal point - a button - on a cotter pin.
This sign outside A Coastal Home caught my eye. Hasselblad 500cm, Shanghai GP3 100 (220), Divided D-76.
Through all the weather, I stood in the open doorway...waiting for you to come back....
