The Space Age Generation shares the lives and careers of a dozen men and women whose passion for science was sparked by an astounding era—the golden age of space science. These scientists, historians, and astronomers lived and participated in an amazing time that not only saw humans step foot on the Moon but also saw human-made spacecraft travel throughout our solar system.


In 1957 Sputnik launched toward the stars. President Kennedy then announced that the United States would send men to the Moon and then return them to Earth.These pivotal moments sparked an unequaled bound forward in human innovation and scientific exploration.

At the heart of this momentous time were the men and women working behind the scenes. Scientists, historians, and astronomers share their memories and contributions from this unparalleled era in essays told in their own words. They are the remarkable generation who witnessed and contributed to some of space science’s most stunning achievements. Here they have recorded their memories—their childhood inspirations, their challenges, failures, and triumphs—for future generations.

A unique and authoritative record of a momentous period in human history, The Space Age Generation highlights the golden age of space exploration and the people who made it happen.

Recenzijas

A great bookwords and memories from those who were youths at the beginning of the Space Age and later became some of its important pioneers. Tales from those who gave us our modern understanding of the Moon and the planets.Tim Hunter, author of The Sky at Night

Planetary sciences during the latter half of the twentieth century were remarkable and in some ways uniquea new field of study being born before our eyes. It was a time when our knowledge of the solar system underwent a revolution that will never occur again. This volume collects the personal memoirs of some of those who experienced that revolution.Guy Consolmagno, co-author of Turn Left at Orion: Hundreds of Night Sky Objects to See in a Home Telescopeand How to Find Them
