"Sometime later" than what? Nichols was among the Star Trek cast to
attend the unveiling of Enterprise in 1976 (although William Shatner
was conspicuously absent), It was then that she became involved in
recruiting women into the NASA astronaut corps. She has often said she
felt responsible for Judith Resnik (who died on Challenger) becoming
an astronaut.

nichols was not hired by nasa as a spokesperson to many years later....

You may want to tell NASA they have their information wrong then since you
seem to know better.

Seriously Bob, DO YOUR RESEARCH.

From my memory nichols involvement in NASA came later....

And we all know how good your memory is. Please provide a cite, or
we're going to assume your memory is simply wrong.

NASA's bio of Nichols and description of her work for them is dated
March, 1977.

Thanks for the cite. This is something that Bob rarely does, especially
when he's wrong.

Bob, do yourself a favor.

A) Learn how to use Google and Wikipedia.
B) Save money and start building a decent library. Doesn't have to be new
books, buy them used. But focus on some decent good history books of the
space program. Then read them.

This. Besides used bookstores like 1/2 Price Books, look for local
library book sales. Not only do they sell old library books that are no
longer needed, but all of the books donated to the library are sold too.
It's one of the ways a library can raise funds without asking for more
taxes.

One of the best "friends of the library" sales around here runs for a
weekend every year. To get rid of all of the remaining books, when they
open the doors on Sunday morning, you can buy paper grocery bags for $5
each and fill it with as many books, videos, cds, and etc. as you can.
The years I've been there on Sunday morning, I've gotten quite a few
aerospace related books, including an old Jane's All the World's
Aircraft, which would normally sell for quite a bit of money, even if it
is older.

Yeah, the library in the hometown I grew up in does this (I think a local
used book-reseller donates his excess also).

I'm rarely there, but did pick up a great Apollo 11 "press-kit" memorabilia
box and other items.

So there you have it Bob, some cheap ways to get some books.

And of course stuff like the CAIB is ONLINE, so it's essentially free to
you.

There is a seemingly endless amount of NASA PDF's online at the NASA
Technical Reports Server (NTRS), obviously free for downloading. This
is the sort of info that you'd have to spend a lot of time searching for
in a good engineering library. The NRTS search engine isn't the
greatest, but it gets the job done.

As an example, here is "Lunar Impact, a History of Project Ranger"

Great, more stuff to read.

You do realize I have to sleep sometimes!
