It covers the formation of NASA, the intense race for human moon exploration, and the reality of global satellite communications. Readers will also learn about the new generation of scientific spacecraft that began the mission of exploring the universe. To provide historical context, the book includes an introductory essay by Pulitzer Prize winner Walter A. McDougall. This essay helps readers understand the significance of Sputnik at the end of the twentieth century. This book is an essential resource for those interested in business and economic history, science, and the technological shifts of the twentieth century.
