Beyond the Atmosphere: Early Years of Space Science

by Homer E. Newell

This exciting survey is the work of a top NASA administrator. Ranging from the laboratory to launching pad and from international conference halls to lunar wastelands, Newell chronicles technological advances, explores the relationship of space science to general science, and places the space program in social, political, and economic contexts.
