This book gathers essays by renowned scientists and engineers to explore the achievements, goals, and implications of the space race. In a time when the launch of Sputnik had most thinking man could achieve in space, the authors present the early history of rocket and satellite development, and extrapolate into the potential of space exploration. What began as basic scientific research has developed into a race towards further exploration, between the United States and the Soviet Union. The essays discuss the missions of the current U.S. space programs, the vehicles used to accomplish them, and the global effects, both military and civilian, of the space race.
