- Kerry Mark Joëls is the son of Merrill E. Joëls (Actor, National Board of Screen Actor's Guild) and Marion C. Joëls (American Academy of Dramatic Arts). He was a child actor in New York from age 5 to age 13 attending Professional Children's School and performing in live television drama, plays, radio, and commercials. He did the voice of "Jimmy" who stowed away in space on the 1958 release "The Space Explorers." This piqued his interest in astronomy so he semi-retired from acting to attend New York's Stuyvesant High School and pursued a career in Physics and Astronomy. This eventually led him to work for NASA. During this time he met an befriended Nichelle Nichols of Star Trek, and the rest of the Star Trek original group including Gene Roddenberry. He was script technical advisor for the James Bond "Moonraker" film. In 1978 he moved from NASA to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum where he produced an orientation film with Nichelle Nichols. He co-wrote the "Space Shuttle Operator's Manual" for Ballantine Books in 1982 and worked on the White House Young Astronaut Program starting in 1985. Here he was technical advisor to Marvel Production for an animated space series and wrote and co-produced the CBS "Astro-minutes" with Geraldine Clark (Rugrats). He was put under contract by Universal to develop a space animated property. He produced a variety of instructional and informational videos for the Office of the Secretary, U.S Department of Health and Human Services, and has been active in the development of a variety of science fiction television and film properties.

How do you plan? Train? What will you use for reference?
“The Mars One Crew Manual” is what you need!
Set up as a training manual for a Mars One crew member, this book posits the information necessary for the first manned mission to Mars. Filled with photographs, illustrations, diagrams, maps, and charts, there’s also a fold-out topographic map of the surface of the red planet.
Beginning with a History of Mars One to Living, the manual goes on to discuss Working in Space and describes the actual trip to Mars. Then it outlines the activities that will take place on Mars, the return to Earth, and the Systems and Maintenance of the Mars One cluster.
Also included: a section on Mars Science Reference, general characteristics of the red planet, a summary of the earlier unmanned missions, acronyms and abbreviations, and a glossary.
Although a bit dated [1985], readers with an interest in interplanetary exploration, a Mars mission, or space science will find much to appreciate here; the planning for a mission to Mars makes for very interesting reading.… (meer)
