5.0 out of 5 stars
Essential space policy reading...,

This review is from: Spaceflight and the Myth of Presidential Leadership (Paperback)
I use this book in my "Issues in U.S. Space Policy" course at the Illinois Institute of Technology. It is an essential book on the development of American space policy during the 20th century. The book's thesis is critically important for those hoping to understand the reasons why human spaceflight has largely been in a holding pattern for the past 35 years (the Vision for Space Exploration notwithstanding). This book is perfect for undergraduate education, and is a crucial read for any serious student of American space policy. Michael Beschloss' overview of the Decision to go to the Moon is an effective synopsis of the classic book by John Logsdon. The chapter by Joan Hoff regarding the Nixon administration and post-Apollo deceleration is particularly interesting.
