The first publication of my book came out in Spanish because the book was initially written in Spanish. Due to the major interest in my book I have translated it into English. The English publication is now available for sale. You can get it in www.amazon.com or you can order it at any local bookstore. In this book I reveal the customs, the music, the politics, the wars, the student protests that I saw in my youth. I describe my interview with prominent figures; like rocket scientists. I explain the basics concepts of the missiles and the radars in layman terms. I make a narrative of my days working both as a scientist and an engineer in the Space Shuttle Program. I explain my experiences with the development of the International Space Station Program. Understanding the challenges that we face in the development of Space Vehicles will help you in future development of more modern space vehicles. May be one day we will be able to return to the moon or search for deep space exploration. I will not see that, but, you most probably will see the future developments. Finally, I make a narrative of my encounter with aliens and UFO while I was employed as a scientist at "White Sands", New Mexico. I make a description of the UFO and what the extraterrestrial beings were doing one night in a cow pasture in White Sands, New Mexico. I explain why I have to keep this SECRET inside my chest for more than 30 years and why I come out to share my secret with you.
