'ART" IN S.T.E.A.M. CREATED BY NASA 61 YEARS AGOWe call our science education program "S.T.E.A.M," for Science, Technology, Engineering, ARTS, and Math. BUT the "A" could be for astronomy, aerospace, astrobiology and more!NASA Administrator James Webb in 1962 saw a formal portrait of astronaut Alan Shepard, and came up with an unusual idea: to hire artists to illustrate and illuminate the agency’s missions. And thus was born NASA's fine arts program, and the first assignment was Gordon Cooper's Mercury Faith 7 mission, launched May 15, 1963. Webb, with the help of renowned art curators and a young Cape Canaveral artist James Dean, chose eight artists to ply their trade in any fashion they desired during the days leading up to the Cooper launch. Webb chose Mitchell Jamieson, Peter Hurd, Robert McCall, John McCoy, Lamar Dodd, Robert Shore and Paul Calle. Jim Dean was chosen as the first director of NASA's Fine Arts Program, and the results were epic in reaching more people through artistic interpretation. They were paid $800 each (about $8,000 in 2024). Sounds like a lot, but they had to pay for 2-3 weeks hotel, food and expenses while on the Space Coast. Particularly McCall and Calle went on to have a successful space art career, with Hurd and Dodd also with noteable works in the genre. “Important events can be interpreted by artists to give a unique insight into significant aspects of our history-making advances into space,” Webb wrote in a 1963 press release. “An artistic record of this nation’s program of space exploration will have great value for future generations and may make a significant contribution to the history of American art.”Since 1963, hundreds of artists (and musicians, poets—even one fashion designer) have interpreted NASA’s aeronautic and space projects. The artists were given carte blanche to create what they wanted, in any medium, on any subject.The NASA Fine Art program lives on, though in a somewhat diminished size and impact on society. ...

HAPPY 57th BIRTHDAY TO SHUTTLE PUERTO RICAN FLIER JOE ACABA—A veteran of three spaceflights and 306 days in space, NASA active Artemis astronaut Joseph Michael Acaba is 57 years old today. Acaba was born May 17, 1967 in Inglewood, California and raised in Anaheim. Acaba is the first person of Puerto Rican descent to be an astronaut, and he is now training to go to the Moon with the Artemis Program. He has three extravehicular activities at the International Space Station totaling about 20 hours. Acaba was a graduate of Esperanza High School, Anaheim, California, 1985; Bachelor of Science in Geology, University of California - Santa Barbara, 1990; Master of Science in Geology, University of Arizona, 1992.On May 6, 2004, Acaba and ten other people were selected from 99 applicants by NASA as astronaut candidates. NASA's administrator, Sean O'Keefe, in the presence of John Glenn, announced the members of the "19th group of Astronaut Candidates", an event which has not been repeated since 1958 when the original group of astronauts was presented to the world.STS-119 Discovery (March 15 to March 28, 2009) was the 125th shuttle flight, the 36th flight of Discovery and the 28th shuttle flight to the International Space Station. The primary objective of this flight was to deliver the final pair of power-generating solar array wings and truss element to the International Space Station. Acaba accumulated 12 hours and 57 minutes of extravehicular activity (EVA) in two spacewalks.Expedition 31/32 launched at 9:01 a.m. Baikonur time on May 15, 2012, from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Gennady Padalka and Sergei Revin of the Russian Federal Space Agency and Acaba landed their Soyuz TMA-04M spacecraft in Kazakhstan at 8:52 a.m. Kazakhstan time on September 17, 2012. Acaba spent 123 days aboard the station as a Flight Engineer of the Expedition 31 and 32 crews.Expedition 53/54 (Sept. 12, 2017-Feb. 28, 2018) Acaba launched on Soyuz MS-06 on September 12, 2017, performing a 6-hour rendezvous with the ISS. On October 20, 2017, Acaba and Randy Bresnik performed an EVA to continue with the lubrication of the new end effector on the robotic arm, and to install new cameras. The duration was 6 hours and 49 minutes. During the mission Acaba's home in Houston was flooded by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Maria struck his native Puerto Rico. ... See MoreSee Less
