so we talk a little bit about the observatory. we talk about the naval enlisted aides, the minute women who take care of that house, because the house belongs to the navy. we talk about the fact that the vice president is actually the president of the senate. so he has an office in the capital. he also has an office in the eisenhower executive office building, which marlon called the wonderful eeov and that's the real link with a office of the vice president is to do a lot of things about the vice presidency that we didn't know until we came into this role. we thought it would be a great educational tool. one of the things charlotte did, and you all were wanting to be writers, one of the things you have to do as a writer, you have to do a lot of research. in the back of the book that our educational fax that tell you about what it's like to be the vice president. that was the first book. >> so when we were coming up with an idea for another book, we decided kind of wanted to write something that talked about all the values we have

for the earthbound astronomer, space was a lifetime of study beyond the window of his observatory.or countless centuries the exploration of space remained a dream in the mind of man. then, on the fourth day of the month of october 1957, it became a reality. the soviet union hurled the first man-made satellite into orbit 558 miles above the earth. the space age had begun. ♪ a year later congress created the national aeronautics and space administration, a new civilian agency with parallel missions, to continue research and improvement in aeronautics, and to build a team and technology capable of sending unmanned and demand craft to explore the new ocean of space. ♪ today, after a decade of research and discovery, america stands ready for the next step, a journey to the moon. [jet engines firing] ♪ this day began on an island of the coast -- off the coast, a place where man explores the realm of space. years, scientific instruments have been carried into the atmosphere, gathering data on high-altitude winds, ultraviolet rays, radiation belts and solar flares. for american and interna
