The Other Space Race: Eisenhower and the Quest for Aerospace Security: Transforming War

With the Soviet launch of "Sputnik" in 1957, the political climate changed, and space travel became part of the United States national discourse. Sambaluk explores what followed, including the scuttling of the Dyna-Soar program and the transition from Eisenhower s space policy to John Kennedy s. This well-argued, well-researched book gives much needed perspective on the Cold War s influence on space travel and it s relation to the formation of public policy."
