Eight essays from a spring 1987 conference at the Smithsonian Institute survey political and technical aspects of the US space program, suggesting that it has been shaped by institutional dynamics more than by technological advances. No index. Acidic paper, despite a claim to the contrary. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

From Library Journal:
America's space program has been ongoing for over 30 years--long enough for historians to begin to place it in perspective. Based on a Smithsonian Institution-sponsored seminar, this collection of essays by historians and political scientists examines several aspects of the space program including policy formulation, space science, aerospace research in the federal laboratory, and space-based military reconnaissance. The analysis of the troubled Space Station program's decision-making process is a particularly illustrative case study of how not to initiate a federally sponsored high- technology program. Highly recommended for academic libraries.
