As a ten-year-old boy inspired by fellow Ohioan, Neil Armstrong, when he landed on the moon in 1969, Scott dreamed of someday becoming part of something larger than himself. Ten years later, through a series of serendipitous life events, Scott Phillips embarked on a career with NASA's groundbreaking Space Shuttle Program. He was the last team member to exit the first External Tank prior to its maiden flight on April 12, 1981, and saved the Remove Before Flight ribbon as a memento. What followed was an extraordinary thirty-three-year adventure, encompassing the entire span of the program-from the depths of tragedy to the exclusive never-before-seen photos and first-hand stories. Remove Before Flight takes the reader on a historical and personal journey that will enlighten and entertain.Inspired by his work at the Marshall Space Flight Center, Scott began creating one-of-a-kind hardwood models to reflect and honor the excellence and legacy of the Shuttle Program. He is an artist, space historian and archivist, songwriter, and motivational speaker. He lives in Harvest, Alabama, with his wife, Dianne, and sons, Christian and Tyler.
