This is not my field and I recognize that I am not contributing any original material here but I thought about sharing some information about an historical document. 

According to the author of the following article, the 1957 scientific paper on astrophysics entitled Stellar Evolution, Nuclear Astrophysics and Nucleogenesis, or CRL-41, was difficult to find in any form until the expiration of the copyright on it made it possible to post copies.

The copy is offered on line, through this article, by Daid Kahl, a Ph.D. student at the University of Tokyo.

  

Planetary Geology grad student who loves studying Mars & other planets & moons; also enjoys Meteorology, Astronomy, volcanoes, tornadoes, craters, stars...

It usually takes me some time to determine what I'm going to post here. I doubt anyone see's it yet anyway ;)

I am 33, married with a wonderful family, have my degree in Space Systems Engineering Technology and currently work with the Space Shuttle Program as a Systems Engineer in Houston, Texas.  I have recently finished and published a space advocacy book called Turning Point: How Space Exploration and Development Will Determine the Rise or Fall of Humanity, available online via www.lulu.com.  I also manage a blog (http://thespaceadvocate.blogspot.com/) where I pontificate on all things space, or at least the things that jump out at me that I want to talk about.

I'm a computer guy in real life, but I have many interests and passions unrelated to computers. One of them obviously is space.

My real "claim to fame" is that I was one of the first dozen or so Americans to learn the Ruby programming language, putting me in an excellent position to write _The Ruby Way_, which has been fairly popular for a few years, especially in its second edition.

I used to be a member of the L5 Society. Yes, I'm dating myself -- but what the heck, no one else is dating me right now!  ;)

Currently a rank-and-file member of National Space Society, Planetary Society, Moon Society, Mars Society, and probably a few others.

I am a board member of OpenLuna. I work more closely with MarsDrive, where I am vice president.

MarsDrive has the ambition of being the most outreach-oriented of the space groups -- we believe that having rocket scientists do marketing is (almost) as silly as having marketers do rocket science. We believe that "to take people to space, we have to take space to the people."

I am the Parks Facility Inventory Administrator for Virginia State Parks.  I am twenty-five years old and have been interested in space my whole life.  Astronomy is one of my passions, and I always try to stay up-to-date with new astronomy news.  I love astrophotography and try to take pictures whenever I can.  Keep in mind that I am no professional, but I do know quite a bit about astronomy and physics.  Occasionally I make space art when the mood strikes me right.

Well hi there! OK, I guess I'll start with the boring stuff, I'm Tom, 17,
student studying Aerospace Engineering, and in the UK (for now...) Joining
Twitter was a novelty really, however the amount it has convinced me that I
want to be part of the Aerospace field is stunning - it has definitely
influenced my decision of Unicersity choice, the amazing people I have
discovered on here, none more so than @flyingjenny , the mastermind behind
this genius group. I shall endeavour (nice subtle joke...) to keep you
updated on my perspective (for what it's worth) of all things NASA.

James Moore has literally grown up with the space program. He has been interested in space since an early age, and was known to make more than one late night call to the astronomer at the local university. James grew up in Florence, Alabama which is just a short drive from Huntsville, Alabama -- the location of the Marshall Space Flight Center. James is a systems programmer by trade. He is an amateur astronomer, a member of several professional organizations and enjoys playing percussion in a local orchestra.

James is active in the Birmingham (Alabama) Astronomical Society and serves as the editor of their newsletter.(  www.bas-astro.com ). He is also a JPL/NASA Solar System Ambassador ( www.jpl.nasa.gov/ambassador ) which allows him the opportunity to give presentations on space exploration to a variety of groups and to work with local Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and YMCA programs.

Im  an 18yr old student about to start Satellite tech and Planetary Exploration at Surrey Uni. I have been interested in Space for over ten years now ever since we were asked to do a presentation on a topic of our choosing, i chose Space at random and the rest is history. Despite a love of Space it has only been recently when i was awarded a small scholarship have i been able to afford to follow this into astronomy. I am now the proud ownder of a small 90mm refractor and am looking forward to a life filled with unlocking and observing the the secrets of the Universe, both ain my work and my home life.

My name is Tomas Vorobjov, I graduated with BA in Computer Science, Mathematics and Physics from Colby College in 2006. I’m currently working as a software developer for a digital agency in the heart of London. I like to identify myself as a rationalist and skeptic but most importantly science enthusiast. Therefore the vast majority of my contributions will be regarding news and events from the world of science and technology. Nevertheless, as a true skeptic, I will never miss an opportunity to criticize and/or mock superstition, anti- and pseudo- science, and lack of (rational) thinking.

SciBuff

Teacher of the sciences, astrophysics graduate (but I've forgotten a lot of the complex maths....), FRAS, senior member in North Essex Astronomical Society. Seem to have ended up with a wide range of interests, but can never settle on one.

I never used to be into science all that much, until my Junior year of High School... one really wonderful Physics teacher was all it took; I was in love from that point on. Now, I'm a sophomore Physics major at my local community college, and I plan on transferring to the University of Pittsburgh in 2010 to study Physics and Astronomy. As for what to do after that, I'm not exactly sure... there's so much I'm interested in, so many jobs that I'd love, and I keep finding more every day. Be it in research, teaching, engineering... I guess I need some time to get my thoughts and plans in order. But for now, I'll continue being the spaced-out space freak that I love to be.
