Description

Explore the era that changed the world with Reconsidering Sputnik. This volume from the Routledge Studies in the History of Science, Technology and Medicine series examines how the Soviet Union ushered in the space age by launching Sputnik and beating the United States into space. This historical study looks beyond the initial launch to cover the broader impact of the space race. 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.
