Download or read book The Other Space Race written by Nicholas Michael Sambaluk and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Other Space Race is a unique look at the early U.S. space program and how it both shaped and was shaped by politics during the Cold War. Eisenhower’s “New Look” expanded the role of the Air Force in national security, and ultimately allowed ambitious aerospace projects, namely the “Dyna-Soar,” a bomber equipped with nuclear weapons that would operate in space. Eisenhower’s space policy was purely practical, creating a strong deterrent against the use of nuclear arms against the United States. With the Soviet launch of Sputnik in 1957, the political climate changed, and space travel became part of the United States’ national discourse. Sambaluk explores what followed, including the scuttling of the “Dyna-Soar” program and the transition from Eisenhower’s space policy to John Kennedy’s. This well-argued, well-researched book gives much needed perspective on the Cold War’s influence on space travel and it’s relation to the formation of public policy.

Download or read book Space Race written by Martin J. Collins and published by Pomegranate. This book was released on 1999 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The space race grew out of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the most powerful nations after World War II. For a half-century, they competed for primacy in a global struggle. Space was a crucial arena for this rivalry. Before a watchful world, each side sought to demonstrate its superiority through impressive feats in rocketry and space flight. Meanwhile, secret satellites were developed to keep a war eye on the adversary. At the Cold War's end, the United States and Russia agreed to build a space station and pursue other joint ventures in space. A contest that had begun in fear and enmity ended in partnership. Drawing on recently declassified material and featuring a wide variety of U.S. and Soviet artifacts, "Space race" examines the spectacular, publicly celebrated milestones of our first steps into space, as well as highly secret efforts to spy on adversaries from high above the Earth. In compelling photographs and terse, informed text, this book tells the story of time when the superpowers sought to make the heavens inseparable from the earth.
Download or read book The Next Space Race written by Richard M. Harrison and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If China's space ambitions continue unchallenged, America will be seriously economically and militarily disadvantaged. This book provides a comprehensive strategy to secure U.S. primacy in the space domain. From Moon landings to plans for asteroid mining, China is beginning to exploit space to achieve its great power ambitions. Its strategy could, over time, severely and adversely impact U.S. economic and military security. The United States needs to structure its approach to space to ensure that it can meet or surpass PRC timelines. Authors Richard M. Harrison and Peter A. Garretson, both from the American Foreign Policy Council, review the literature on Chinese space ambitions and assess U.S. space-related initiatives across the government, military, and private sector to understand the maturity of technology available to support space initiatives. Their first-hand research and findings are supplemented by interviews with industry experts, corporate space leaders, and government and military officials. The Next Space Race describes and seeks to influence the development of American space policy to ensure the U.S. industrial base is ready to meet or surpass PRC milestones, empower and clarify the mission of the newly minted Space Force, provide guidance to NASA and other federal agencies, and incentivize private sector companies to contribute to ensuring American space primacy.

Book excerpt: The Fantastic Space Race Summary of the story: The amazing story of Mia, Ben, Emma, and Max, four Stardust Ville teens with big dreams, shows how powerful interest, friendship, and hard work can be. Mia's dream of becoming an astronaut and Ben's love of making things lead them on an amazing journey to explore space and find out more about themselves. After meeting the brave astronaut Captain Orion by chance, Mia and Ben are asked to take part in a fun space race. They join Team Stellar with their new friends Emma and Max and go on an exciting trip to fight against other young explorers from faraway worlds. Their trip is full of danger, tests of their knowledge, amazing scenery, alien species, and cosmic wonders. The team moves forward because of how determined they are, how well they work together, and how much they always support each other. As Team Stellar moves through the steps of the Space Race, their dreams become tied to a higher goal. They understand how important it is to protect the wonders of space and become advocates for space travel and the preservation of the universe. After Mia and Ben won the Space Race and became recognized astronauts and inventors, they kept learning and having fun. They work together on missions that break new ground to find new planets and solve riddles in space. Every time they do something new together, their relationship gets stronger. This shows how important it is to be together and share memories. Years later, Mia and Ben put on their own Stardust Ville Space Race. They teach young people what they've learned and encourage them to be innovators. People from all over the world come to the event every year to show off their skills and work together to overcome challenges. Team Stellar's teamwork and determination are mirrored in a group of kids from different backgrounds. Through their shared experiences, Mia and Ben spread a love of space flight, inspire the next generation, and make the Stardust Ville Space Race a symbol of curiosity, teamwork, and the fact that the universe is full of possibilities. Their adventure has left a mark on Stardust Ville and beyond that will never be forgotten. Their memory lives on in the hearts of people who want to be explorers, scientists, or big-dreaming visionaries. The story of Mia, Ben, Emma, and Max is a monument to the power of friendship, determination, and the pursuit of goals to change people's lives. It is also a testament to the wonders that await those who are brave enough to travel into the unknown. How the story started: Once upon a time, in a small town called Stardust Ville, Mia and Ben were close friends who were both very interested in and eager to learn more about the universe. Mia had always wanted to be an astronaut so she could travel space and discover new worlds. She looked up at the stars and imagined that she was weightless and floating among them. This made her eyes shine with wonder. She read books about space and learned facts about planets, galaxies, and the secrets that lie beyond Earth's atmosphere. Ben, on the other hand, was fascinated by how creation seemed to have so many options. His mind was full of ideas for new products and tools. From a young age, he liked to take things apart and put them back together, always trying to figure out how they worked. He dreamed of making things that would change the world and make everyone's life easier and more fun. Mia and Ben would play in their backyard for hours, making up stories about it being an alien world or a secret laboratory. In their backyard adventures, they would build cardboard spaceships and go on epic, made-up journeys through the world, meeting strange creatures along the way. Mia's desire to become an astronaut came from her interest in the unknown and her desire to learn more about it. She knew that space was the last frontier and that it was full of secrets and riches. She wanted to see the majestic beauty of faraway worlds, float in space with no gravity, and see for herself how grand the universe is. Mia's desire to become an astronaut grew stronger every day as she read books, watched movies, and listened to music about space. Ben, on the other hand, saw invention as a way to unlock the secrets of the world and share them with everyone. He thought that if he made things, he could connect the glory of space to people's everyday lives on Earth. Ben would spend hours in his room drawing and making models of his ideas, always trying to amaze and inspire other people. He wanted to be a creator because he wanted to push the limits of what was possible and leave a lasting mark on the world. As Mia and Ben talked about their plans, they realized that they were both interested in the same things. Mia knew that she would need new ideas and tools to explore space, and Ben knew that his ideas could reach new heights if they were used in the vast universe. They praised and helped each other, and they often worked together on projects that helped both of them reach their goals. Mia and Ben were doing their favorite thing, which was to look at the stars, on a nice day. They felt at home in Mia's garden, where they sat on a soft blanket and looked up at the night sky. As they looked up at the stars, they saw something that caught their attention. It was a shooting star; a brilliant light show that swept across the sky. The shooting star left behind a bright trail of dust that sparkled and moved in the moonlight. Mia's eyes became big with joy as she pointed to what she saw. "Wow, that shooting star looks so magical!" she said with a tone of surprise and awe. Ben, who was just as amazed, nodded in agreement and couldn't take his eyes off the beautiful scene. They watched as the shooting star moved across the sky, leaving a bright trail that filled the night with a beautiful, magical light. Mia and Ben couldn't help but wonder if this shooting star was more than what it seemed to be. People thought that it might have a secret or be sending a word from another world. Mia and Ben agreed to go on a mission to figure out what was going on with the shooting star because they both liked to try new things. They put a notebook, a flashlight, and a small lens in their bags so they could follow the mysterious guest's trail and see what it led to. Mia and Ben followed the glittering path into the trees around them. They were led by the light that seemed to be calling them on. Every step was full of excitement and fear, and their hearts were pounding with excitement and fear. What will you find at the end of this interesting trip? As they continued their search, the sparkles led them to an area where the moonlight was soft and comforting. In the middle, a strange thing stood in the middle of an ethereal glow. It was a small disk that glowed and hummed in a way that seemed to connect with their souls. Mia cautiously walked up to the mysterious object, her eyes wide with wonder and excitement. She reached out and put her fingers on the surface of the glowing sphere. To her surprise, the sphere answered by glowing with a warm light. It seemed like the shooting star chose Mia and Ben to tell what it knew. At that exact moment, the orb unfolded, revealing a holographic image of an old star map. Mia and Ben yelled, and their hearts were beating fast with excitement. The chart showed a series of faraway stars that made a path to Star Haven, a mythical paradise in the sky. Mia and Ben promised that they would go on a great adventure to follow the star map and find the magical Star refuge. Their hearts were full of courage and determination. They knew that this adventure would be different from anything else they had done before, but they were excited to face the unknown and find out more about the world. Mia and Ben didn't know that their lives were about to change for the rest of their lives. The shooting star gave them a once-in-a-lifetime chance to go on a journey through space that was full of fascinating finds and thrilling encounters. They went out into the night, their hearts filled with the magic of the universe. The orb and the trail of sparkles led them. Just as Mia and Ben made their wish on the shooting star, the mood in Stardust Ville changed. A rumbling sound filled the air, and then an old, rusty rocket ship fell from the sky and landed with a thud in the middle of the main area in Stardust Ville. As the rocket landed, dust and debris flew everywhere, showing a slowly opening door. A figure came out wearing a spacesuit with badges and patches all over it. Captain Orion was there. He was a great scientist who was known for being brave and adventurous. His eyes were bright from the many space missions he had been on, and his presence was filled with awe-inspiring power. When Mia and Ben saw that they were in the same room as their hero, their jaws dropped. Captain Orion had a good name, and people had always praised how brave and determined he was. It was more than they could have ever imagined seeing him standing in their small town. Captain Orion smiled at the stunned crowd as he greeted them. He spoke in a way that showed he was sure of himself and had a lot of experience. "Hello, people of Stardust Ville!" he shouted. "I'm here to tell you about an amazing Space Race between young explorers from different planets. The winners will get to visit Zephyria, a newly discovered planet." As word spread like flames, the whole town cheered. Mia and Ben were happy to see that their dreams of going to space were coming true. Captain Orion saw how excited they were and walked up to them with his eyes shining with interest. "You two seem eager for an adventure," Captain Orion said in a voice full of interest and encouragement. "Would you like to join the Space Race and represent the Stardust villa?" Mia and Ben enthusiastically said, "Yes!" This was a once-in-a-lifetime chance for them to make their dreams come true. Captain Orion said that Mia and Ben would need to put together a team of four people, each with a special skill, in order to fight in the Space Race. Their knowledge, ability to solve problems, and ability to work together would be tested through a number of challenges.

Download or read book The Superpower Space Race written by Robert REEVES and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the U.S.S.R. launched the first satellite into Earth orbit on October 4, 1957, a wave of fear and awe shook the world. In the heart of the Cold War, this first satellite was a threatening show of power and the decisive event that led to the infamous space rivalry between the U.S.S.R. and the United States. Launching missile after missile skyward, each superpower goaded its rival with impressive feats in space, each determined to prove to the world its technological superiority. As this engrossing work so clearly shows, it was in this pressure cooker of competition that each country achieved undreamed-of advances, stretching the boundaries of humankind's domain and giving us the first thrilling close-ups of the heavenly bodies in our solar system. The Space Age proved to be a rare instance in history, an era when two nations managed to call on their best and brightest to work single-mindedly toward a goal. Funded by millions of dollars and employing the talents of the top scientists and engineers from universities, the military, and, in the United States, the private sector, the space programs on each side of the Iron Curtain worked with determination and genius to build the incredible craft that would take us to the Moon and beyond. Robert Reeves, a respected historian of the Space Age and contributor to Astronomy, Amateur Astronomy, and Deep Sky Journal, describes the massive power and capabilities of these spaceships. Designed to overcome staggering obstacles, our spaceships accomplished what was once deemed impossible. Both the Soviets and the Americans succeeded in landing craft with amazing precision on the nearly airless surface of the Moon. American space probes touched down on the rocky surface of Mars, while the Soviets succeeded in building probes that could withstand the hellish heat and deadly pressure of the Venusian surface, transmitting photographs and readings that were inaccessible from Earth. Scientists today are still analyzing this invaluable information, deducing the story of our solar system by studying the craters on the Moon, the mysterious channels on Mars, and the nightmarish surface of Venus. Reeves illuminates the brilliant achievements and bitter tragedies of conquering the inner solar system. Fueled by pride and national honor, funded by politicians, and designed by the leading engineers of the world, each hard-earned mission was at once a political triumph for each nation and a scientific triumph for humankind. Reeves traces this most exciting history from its extraordinary genesis to the present and looks toward future cooperative ventures which will, with funding, luck, and united effort, yield knowledge and adventure beyond our wildest dreams.

Download or read book Inventing the American Astronaut written by Matthew H. Hersch and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-10-08 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who were the men who led America's first expeditions into space? Soldiers? Daredevils? The public sometimes imagined them that way: heroic military men and hot-shot pilots without the capacity for doubt, fear, or worry. However, early astronauts were hard-working and determined professionals - 'organization men' - who were calm, calculating, and highly attuned to the politics and celebrity of the Space Race. Many would have been at home in corporate America - and until the first rockets carried humans into space, some seemed to be headed there. Instead, they strapped themselves to missiles and blasted skyward, returning with a smile and an inspiring word for the press. From the early days of Project Mercury to the last moon landing, this lively history demystifies the American astronaut while revealing the warring personalities, raw ambition, and complex motives of the men who were the public face of the space program.
