Meet Ed Buckbee

creator and author of the  'The REAL Space Cowboys'   

 

Ed Buckbee has been associated with America’s space program for four decades.  As a NASA public affairs officer during the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs, he was a spokesman for the early astronauts and the Apollo moonwalkers. He was at Cape Canaveral for Alan Shepard and John Glenn’s early flights and was present for all of the moon shots. He will tell you why seven military test pilots became the first Mercury astronauts and describe the fierce competition among them for the first rides into space.  He will talk about the extreme training they experienced and behind the scenes pranks and gotchas they played on each other.

Buckbee will take you to the moon with America’s moon walkers and tell you of the close calls and humorous happenings.  He will describe the incredible machines flown by the astronauts, designed and built by NASA and America’s space industry and he will do this with exciting photos and video clips few of us have seen.

     He’s a TV documentary producer and author of several books and the founder of the highly successful U.S. Space Camp program for aspiring young astronauts.  He along with the Mercury astronauts established the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame.

     Buckbee has appeared on CNN, Late Night with David Letterman, Good Morning America and the Today Show.  He serves as Omega’s moderator for astronaut appearances and space celebrations such as the one we are celebrating this year, the 40th Anniversary of America’s first moon landing. Meet Ed Buckbee, the author and creator of “The REAL Space Cowboys.”
