Description
Book SynopsisTaking a balanced look at issues that have contributed to decline of America's manned space program, such as lack of political support and funding, this book offers not only a critique but also a plan for enhancing US space security through cooperation rather than competition. It focuses on how policy changes of mid-1990s have changed the nation.
Trade ReviewAny discussion of space policy would benefit from the informed, reasoned opinions of Joan Johnson-Freese. -- Eve Lichtgarn The Space Review
