After Apollo?: Richard Nixon and the American Space Program: Palgrave Studies in the History of Science and Technology

Autor John M. Logsdon
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 apr 2015
Once the United States landed on the moon in July 1969, it was up to President Nixon to decide what to do in space after Apollo. This book chronicles the decisions he made, including ending space exploration and approving the space shuttle. Those decisions determined the character of the US human space flight program for the next forty years.

“Logsdon (emer., George Washington Univ.) does a nice job of telling the story of what the US wanted to do in space after project Apollo. … The book includes halftone photographs and bibliographic references in lieu of a formal bibliography. Summing Up: Recommended. Researchers, professionals, general readers.” (J. Z. Kiss, Choice, Vol. 53 (5), January, 2016)
