1970 PIONEER SCIENTIST ADVENTURER NELLO PACE AND OTHERS SIGNED GUEST REGISTRY

Description

Listed here is a four page vintage 1970 TWA Ambassadors Club Guest Register signed by some of Modern Science's most productive pioneers.  Some of the distinguished signers are:
DR. NELLO PACE
Scientist adventurer Nello Pace was a pioneering scientist who climbed Himalayan peaks to find out how the body reacts to high altitude and pioneered the study of the physiological effects of weightlessness. He was a professor emeritus of physiology at the University of California at Berkeley.
Pace specialized in environmental physiology, which he once defined as the "study of all the discomforts known to man." To do this he endured many of the discomforts himself, climbing Himalayan peaks to study the effects of low oxygen levels on humans, traveling to Antarctica to record the effects of subfreezing temperatures, and even serving at a front-line M.A.S.H. unit during the Korean war to study combat fatigue.
He also pioneered the study of weightlessness and its effects on the body. One of few experts in the field of gravitational physiology in the 1960s, he served as a consultant to NASA and conducted some of the first studies of weightlessness on orbiting monkeys.
His numerous studies helped prepare for human spaceflight, and laid important groundwork for studies of disease and the effects of aging.
