  30 Years of USU in Space: In October 1976, then USU faculty member, R. Gilbert Moore attended a conference where NASA administrators announced the development of a new opportunity for space research aboard the newly-designed space shuttle. Moore was so enthused with the educational possibilities of the program that he stood up in the middle of the presenter’s speech and wrote a check for the first Get Away Special (GAS) payload reservation. He donated it to Utah State University, and the GAS program was born. Through the program, Utah State has sent 11 payloads into space. Since the first GAS payload, members of the team have also participated in other microgravity research projects involving NASA’s “Vomit Comet” and the International Space Station.

• Self-Reliance, Social Welfare, and Sacred Landscapes: Mormon Agricultural Spaces and Their Paradoxical Sense of Place (Collector: Anthony Ross Garner)

  This collection includes interviews with managers and workers of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint (Mormon) owned farms. The interviews were conducted by Anthony Ross Garner, USU folklore graduate student, who used the interviews to inform his master's thesis: Self-Reliance, Social Welfare, and Sacred Landscapes: Mormon Agricultural Spaces and Their Paradoxical Sense of Place Garner notes: as case studies, this thesis examines the motives and methods of an industrially scaled Church welfare farm in Blue Creek, Utah and a Mormon family garden in Bluffdale, Utah. Contextualized within relevant American and Mormon history, I explore the paradoxical sense of place of Mormon agricultural landscapes where ideals of self-reliance and social welfare thrive and social isolation and emotional interconnection coexist, which makes room for principles of economic efficiency and environmental conservation to find a compromise.
