is proud to announce the arrival of our newest historical marker to be placed just South of the Carman’s Mill at Carmans River and Montauk Hwy. We look forward to the placement ceremony to be held by the Mastic Peninsula Historical Society sometime this Summer.

Ebook/Audiobook: Spaceman: An Astronaut's Unlikely Journey to Unlock the Secrets of the Universe by Mike Massimino
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to find yourself strapped to a giant rocket that's about to go from zero to 17,500 miles per hour?
Or to look back on Earth from outer space and see the surprisingly precise line between day and night? Or to stand in front of the Hubble Space Telescope, wondering if the emergency repair you're about to make will inadvertently ruin humankind's chance to unlock the universe's secrets? Mike Massimino has been there, and in
Spaceman
he puts you inside the suit, with all the zip and buoyancy of life in microgravity.
