John W. Young Papers
CAINE MSS COL 26
This collection contains papers and correspondence relating to various business affairs of John W. Young (1844-1924), son of Brigham Young and Mary Ann Angell. John W. Young served as a member of the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints prior to his father's death as well as being a counselor to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. But John W. Young is better known for his business enterprises, mainly railroad construction. He was involved in several railroad companies or railroad construction projects during the latter half of the 19 th Century in Utah and throughout the West. The second section contains papers and correspondence related to Young's acquisition of property in northern Mexico to aid Mormon settlement in that region. Most of the documents are legal papers related to the transfer of land or correspondence between Young and William Derby Johnson, who acted as Young's agent in acquiring the property. Most of the letters describe difficulties being experienced by Johnson due to young's failure to supply the necessary funds as stipulated in the contracts. The last section is one letter from Young to G.W. Thatcher and John N. Pike regarding the establishment of the Utah Western Railway and other family and business matters. The entire collection covers a period from 1874 to 1889.

NAME: John W. Young (Mr.) NASA Astronaut BIRTHPLACE AND DATE: Born in San Francisco, California, on September 24, 1930. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Brown hair; green eyes; 5 feet 9 inches; 165 pounds. EDUCATION: Graduated from Orlando High School, Orlando, Florida; received a bachelor of science degree in Aeronautical Engineering with highest honors from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1952. MARITAL STATUS: Married to the former Susy Feldman of St. Louis, Missouri. CHILDREN: Daughter, Sandy, April 30, 1957. Son, John, January 17, 1959. RECREATIONAL INTERESTS: Wind Surfing, bicycling, reading and gardening. ORGANIZATIONS: Fellow of the American Astronautical Society (AAS), the Society of Experimental Test Pilots (SETP), and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). SPECIAL HONORS: Awarded the Congressional Space Medal of Honor (1981), 3 NASA Distinguished Service Medals, Navy Astronaut Wings (1965), 2 Navy Distinguished Service Medals, 3 Navy Distinguished Flying Crosses, the Georgia Tech Distinguished Young Alumni Award (1965), Distinguished Service Alumni Award (1972) and the Exceptional Achievement Award (1985). Inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame in 1988. Recipient of more than 65 other major awards, including 4 honorary doctorate degrees. EXPERIENCE: Upon graduation from Georgia Tech, Young entered the United States Navy. After serving on the west coast destroyer, USS LAWS (DD-558), for 1 year, he was allowed to go to flight training. He was then assigned to Fighter Squadron 103 for 4 years, flying Cougars and Crusaders. After test pilot training at the U.S. Navy Test Pilot School in 1959, he was assigned to the Naval Air Test Center for 3 years. His test projects included evaluations of the Crusader and Phantom fighter weapons systems. In 1962, he set world time-to-climb records to 3,000- and 25,000-meter altitudes in the Phantom. Prior to reporting to NASA, he was maintenance officer of Phantom Fighter Squadron 143. Young retired from the Navy as a Captain in September 1976, after completing almost 25 years of active military service. He has logged more than 12,000 hours flying time in props, jets, helicopters, rocket jets and spacecraft, including 835 hours in six space flights. NASA EXPERIENCE: In September 1962, Young was selected as an astronaut. He is the first person to fly in space six times. The first flight was with Gus Grissom in Gemini 3, the first manned Gemini mission, on March 23, 1965. This was a complete end-to-end test of the Gemini spacecraft, during which Gus accomplished the first manual change of orbit altitude and plane and the first lifting reentry, and Young operated the first computer on a manned spacecraft. On Gemini 10, July 18-21, 1966, Young, as commander, and Mike Collins, as pilot, completed a dual rendezvous with two separate Agena target vehicles. Mike Collins also did an extravehicular transfer to retrieve a micrometeorite detector from the second Agena. On his third flight, May 18-26, 1969, Young was command module pilot of Apollo 10. Tom Stafford and Gene Cernan were also on this mission which orbited the Moon and completed a lunar rendezvous. His fourth space flight, Apollo 16, April 16-27, 1972, was a lunar exploration mission, with Young as spacecraft commander, and Ken Mattingly and Charlie Duke. Young and Duke set up scientific equipment and explored the lunar highlands at Descartes. They collected almost 200 pounds of rocks and drove over 16 miles in the lunar rover while on the moon. Young's fifth flight was as spacecraft commander of STS-1, the first flight of the Space Shuttle Columbia, April 12-14, 1981, with Bob Crippen as pilot. The 54-1/2 hour, 36 orbit mission verified Space Shuttle systems performance during launch, on orbit, and entry. Tests included evaluation of mechanical systems including the payload bay doors, the attitude and maneuvering rocket thrusters, guidance and navigation systems, and Orbiter/crew compatibility. One hundred and thirty three of the mission's flight test objectives were accomplished. Columbia is the first manned spaceship to be flown into orbit without benefit of previous unmanned orbital testing. Columbia is also the first winged reentry vehicle to return from space to a runway landing. It weighed about 98 tons as Young braked it to a stop on the dry lakebed at Edwards Air Force Base, California. Young's sixth flight was as spacecraft commander of STS-9, the first Spacelab mission, November 28 - December 8, 1983, with pilot Brewster Shaw, mission specialists Bob Parker and Owen Garriott, and payload specialists Byron Lichtenberg of the USA, and Ulf Merbold of West Germany. The mission successfully completed all 94 of its flight test objectives. For 10 days the 6-man crew worked 12-hour shifts around-the-clock, performing more than 70 experiments in the fields of atmospheric physics, earth observations, space plasma physics, astronomy and solar physics, materials processing and life sciences. The mission returned more scientific and technical data than all the previous Apollo and Skylab missions put together. The Spacelab was brought back for reuse, so that Columbia weighed about 110 tons as Young landed the spaceship at Edwards Air Force Base, California. Young was also on five backup crews backup pilot in Gemini 6, backup command pilot of the second Apollo mission before the Apollo Program fire, and of Apollo 7, and backup spacecraft commander for Apollo 13 and 17. In preparation for prime and backup crew positions on 10 space flights, Young has put more than 13,000 hours into training so far, mostly in simulators and simulations. In January 1973 Young was made Chief of the Space Shuttle Branch of the Astronaut Office, providing operational and engineering astronaut support for the design and development of the Space Shuttle. In January 1974 he was selected to be Chief of the Astronaut Office, with responsibility for the coordination, scheduling, and control of activities of the astronauts. Young served as Chief of the Astronaut Office until May 1987. During his tenure, astronaut flight crews participated in the Apollo-Soyuz joint American-Russian docking mission, the Space Shuttle Orbiter Approach and Landing Test Program, and twenty five Space Shuttle missions. CURRENT ASSIGNMENT: Young currently serves as Special Assistant to the Director of JSC for Engineering, Operations, and Safety. In this new position, Young has direct access to the Center Director and other senior managers in defining and resolving issues affecting the continued safe operation of the Space Shuttle. Additionally, Young is also assisting the Center Director in providing advice and counsel on engineering, operational, and safety matters related to the Space Station, the uprated Shuttle, the Assured Crew Return Vehicle, the Personnel Launch System, and the Space Exploration Initiative. As an active astronaut, Young remains eligible to command future Shuttle astronaut crews. JANAURY 1992

"No, I'm too young for that!"
John Watts Young was born September 24, 1930 in St. Luke's Hospital in San Francisco, California. His family lived in San Mateo until moving to Cartersville, Georgia in 1933. In 1939, the family moved permanently to Orlando, Florida.

"I think the next great achievement, even in this century, will be learning to live and work on another planet."
- John Young, Houston Chronicle, August 1996 Med Lg
"If you're looking for someone to command the first mission to mars, I'd be proud to nominate John Young."
- George Abbey, 7-19-02
"Heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences."
HERO: A man admired for his achievements and noble qualities
The term "hero" has a different meaning for everyone. Some people choose professional athletes as heroes; other people choose entertainers. While there are entertainers and sports figures that I admire, I don't classify them as heroes. I reserve the word "hero" for someone who has done something of benefit to the human race and who isn't after personal gain - someone who is just doing their job and in the process has touched us all. One person who fits my definition of the word "hero" is John Young. Med Lg
"John Young is my hero. There is not anyone that will be able to surpass what John Young has been able to achieve."

The diverse range of participant artists and students has helped to create a vibrant working centre connecting individuals from different cultural, socio-economic, geographic and educational backgrounds. The Centre is run as an independent cultural institution in cooperation with the National Art Gallery of Namibia and the College for the Arts Extension Programme. The Centre has received assistance in the form of materials from the French Mission for Cooperation and Cultural Affairs in Namibia.
The Kitchen has a fully equipped printmaking studio with two presses for printwork in various techniques.
