Space exploration has become increasingly dependent on cooperation between countries as well as the involvement of private enterprise. This book thus addresses issues such as: Given their tenuous history, can rival countries work together? Can private enterprise fill NASA's shoes and provide the same expertise and safety standards?
Written by a former NASA Aerodynamics Officer at Houston Mission Control working on the Space Shuttle program, the second edition of this book provides updated information on U.S. space policy, including the change to returning to the Moon prior to traveling to Mars. It discusses the reasoning behind and repercussions of this change, as well as the formation of the Space Force as a military unit. Also describing the latest developments in private industry, it is a comprehensive resource for both space industry professionals and space enthusiasts.
