Local author (and Bubonicon friend) Loretta Hall will talk about and sign her latest New Mexico non-fiction space effort, Space Pioneers: In Their Own Words, on August 16.

The book is described as such by Hall: “While researching my 2011 book, Out of this World: New Mexico’s Contributions to Space Travel, I became aware of a valuable but underutilized resource for the history of the United States’ space program. Since 1986, the New Mexico Museum of Space History staff have recorded oral history interviews of people involved in all aspects of space research since the 1940s. To make those experiences widely accessible, along with commentary that establishes the context for each period of development, I am writing Space Pioneers: In Their Own Words. It will include excerpts of varying lengths from nearly a hundred interviewees, along with historic photographs that bring their experiences to life.”

Come join Loretta Hall 2:30 pm Saturday, August 16, at Page One Bookstore, southeast corner of Eubank & Juan Tabo NE (Mountain Run Shopping Center).
