Reynolds contributes essays to new National Geographic Book
WASHINGTON D.C., September 18, 2007--Phaeton Director David West Reynolds contributed five essays for a new history of the race to the Moon: Epic Rivalry: The Inside Story of the Soviet and American Space Race, published by National Geographic Books. The book was written by Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum curator Von Hardesty and his collaborator Gene Eisman. Dr. Hardesty, a Phaeton friend and colleague, is a specialist in Russian aviation history, and therefore particularly well-suited to offer a balanced account of the space race, in which the American and Soviet efforts are both weighted appropriately.

Ryan's new dinosaur species covered in Outpost article by Reynolds
TORONTO, July 2007--Phaeton's Chief Paleontologist Michael J. Ryan is a member of the Canadian chapter of the Explorers Club. When the Club heard about Michael's discovery of yet another new dinosaur species (the second in two years!), they asked for an article about it. David West Reynolds' story appeared in the July/August 2007 issue of the Explorers Club magazine Outpost, illustrated with Phaeton Group photos. About the Outpost article
WASHINGTON D.C., June 2007--The legendary "Nazi flying wing" was the target of Phaeton Group's latest field mission. Phaeton's director Dr. David West Reynolds led a team of five Phaeton investigators on a project to assess this aircraft first-hand. The Horten Ho 229 V3 is the only surviving turbojet flying wing from Adolf Hitler's Third Reich, a strikingly advanced design for its era. Jet Wing Mission
SAN FRANCISCO,
Feb. 2003--Phaeton's captain spoke with Fox TV News about the loss of the
space shuttle Columbia, an appearance beamed into the New York show via
satellite from the West Coast. In this four-minute interview, Reynolds described
space exploration as an inspiring endeavor worth the risks, as long as we
continue to advance the frontier of human experience. Reynolds said that
he would like to see the U.S. resume ambitious efforts to take astronauts
farther and higher--back to the Moon and onward to Mars--rather than remain
content with the routine of the shuttle program.
