brings a sense of gratitude with it, and I feel the joy by merely expressing thankfulness to others, so I wanted to thank you for reading this month\u2019s portion of Gator Speaks.<\/p>\n<p>Whether surrounded by the love and laughter of cherished family or the comforts of a shared experience with valued friends, November warms the heart like indulging in a fresh slice of pumpkin pie (something else to be thankful for!).<\/p>\n<p>Just like it is easy to eat a slice or three of pumpkin pie, it is easy to find reasons to be thankful at NASA Stennis.<\/p>\n<p>Nov. 11 was Veterans Day. There are many NASA employees at NASA Stennis who have served in various military branches and are now contributing their talents as part of our skilled and diverse workforce. One such <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/people\/from-service-to-space-a-us-veterans-path-to-nasa-stennis\/\" data-type=\"people\" data-id=\"564345\">veteran <\/a>working at NASA Stennis is featured this month. <\/p>\n<p>In addition to Veterans Day on Nov. 11, the Stennis Day in the Bay event highlighted how thankful NASA Stennis is for the great community support and relationships NASA Stennis enjoys. We are all better together!<\/p>\n<p>Nov. 14 is the 90th birthday for the great, NASA astronaut Fred Haise. His name graces the test stand where RS-25 engine testing is underway for future Artemis missions. Haise also is a veteran, as the Korean War put him on a path to joining the military and ultimately becoming a NASA astronaut. Read how that came to pass <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/news-release\/fred-haise-native-son-turned-enduring-hero\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Nov. 23 is Thanksgiving. How can one not be thankful for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/humans-in-space\/why-go-to-space\/\">benefits<\/a> NASA provides to humanity? From exploring the Moon and Mars, to increasing access to space for all, to growing new commercial markets, space exploration helps us gain a new perspective.<\/p>\n<p>And just like exploring space helps us gain a new perspective, so, too, does taking inventory of all we have to be thankful for throughout the month of November.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NASA Stennis Top News<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NASA Stennis Compiles Framework for the Future to Guide Center Forward<\/h3>\n<p>NASA\u2019s Stennis Space Center began with a single mission \u2013 to test Apollo rocket stages to carry humans to the Moon.

They get things done with grace and skill and first and foremost to serve the American people. The president, the vice president, and everyone across the Biden-Harris Administration are grateful for their dedication and their service.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>OPM Director Kiran Ahuja added, \u201cEvery day, tens of thousands of dedicated federal employees are solving the nation\u2019s most pressing challenges and developing new technologies to improve the lives of millions. The Presidential Rank Awards highlight public servants who exemplify integrity, exceptional leadership, and a relentless commitment to the American people. Congratulations to all the awardees. The federal government and the American people are safer and better off thanks to your hard work and dedication.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 established the Presidential Rank Awards Program to recognize a select group of career members of\u202fsenior leaders\u202ffor exceptional performance.

After the war, he flew as a research pilot. One of 19 individuals selected by NASA as an astronaut candidate in April 1966, Haise was the highest-scoring applicant of Astronaut Group 5.<\/p>\n<p>Following training, Haise served as a backup crew member for the Apollo 8 and Apollo 11 missions to the Moon before his chance to fly in space came on the Apollo 13 mission as lunar module pilot with commander Jim Lovell and command module pilot Jack Swigert. He was slated to become the sixth person to walk on the lunar surface.<\/p>\n<p>However, Haise never had his chance to step onto the Moon. Just 56 hours into the Apollo 13 mission, an oxygen tank explosion created a crisis that held the world spellbound for days. Haise was in the lunar module at the time of the incident; by the time he reached his command module seat, oxygen tank No. 2 was gone.<\/p>\n<p>The world watched as the crew endured a perilous trip around the Moon and back to Earth in the crippled spacecraft. The mission is well documented in print and onscreen. In total, Haise logged 142 hours and 54 minutes in space on the Apollo 13 mission.<\/p>\n<p>The Mississippi native remained a NASA astronaut for nine more years and was slated to serve as commander of the Apollo 19 mission to the Moon before it was canceled by the end of the Apollo Program. Haise was inducted into the Astronaut Hall of Fame in 1997. Twelve years later, NASA presented him with the agency\u2019s Ambassador of Exploration Award in recognition of his role as a spokesperson for space.<\/p>\n<p>Haise presented the encased Moon rock he received for the recognition to his former Biloxi elementary school \u2013 Goren Elementary \u2013 for display to students. Since then, he has remained a space spokesperson and a staunch supporter of NASA\u2019s Stennis Space Center and INFINITY Science Center.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think aviation, space, and science museums are important for the knowledge imparted to young and old,\u201d he said of the Mississippi science facility that serves as the official visitor center of NASA Stennis. \u201cFor the young, it is possible the interesting things they see and learn about will inspire them to make the most of the talent with which they are blessed. INFINITY also serves as a beacon along the highway into Mississippi to encourage people to visit and stay awhile. It gives them a view of the incredible work being done at Stennis Space Center. Through the hands-on exhibits and special programs, education is provided to many visiting young people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Happy birthday to Mississippi\u2019s own Fred Haise!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Resources<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/appel.nasa.gov\/podcast\/episode-119-rocket-propulsion-test-program\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Small Steps, Giant Leaps Podcast with Christine Powell<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NASAStennis\/status\/1719733339265941776\" rel=\"noopener\">NASA Stennis and NASA Shared Services Center Proudly Celebrate Native American\/Alaska Native Heritage Month<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/native-american-heritage-month\/\">Native American Heritage Month \u2013 NASA<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Artemis<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/stennis\/media-resources\/artemis-press-kit\/\">Artemis Resources \u2013 NASA Stennis<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/m2m_strategy_and_objectives_development.pdf\">NASA\u2019s Moon to Mars Strategy<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DH_dr_AHwaSg&#038;data=05%7C01%7Clatoya.d.dean%40nasa.gov%7C7c0dee0a2d7f421bdd9708dbc6977f22%7C7005d45845be48ae8140d43da96dd17b%7C0%7C0%7C638322126548636302%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&#038;sdata=uKhb9FOifWcPgGHsZ4e2Hg4vV2XN7nGEclDICJDH0Jc%3D&#038;reserved=0\" rel=\"noopener\">NASA\u2019s Stennis Space Center \u2013 Moving Forward<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DDm-Mffx_TL8%26t%3D6s&#038;data=05%7C01%7Clatoya.d.dean%40nasa.gov%7C7c0dee0a2d7f421bdd9708dbc6977f22%7C7005d45845be48ae8140d43da96dd17b%7C0%7C0%7C638322126548636302%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&#038;sdata=Htr60EZrFObd9GCgZ3ijrn3IAmz3fyXkijjuZiAzgwg%3D&#038;reserved=0\" rel=\"noopener\">NASA Stennis \u2013 Avanzando<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Subscription Info<\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Lagniappe is published monthly by the Office of Communications at NASA\u2019s Stennis Space Center.
