Book Synopsis Secrets of the Space Age by : Lt Col William E. Winterstein Sr
Download or read book Secrets of the Space Age written by Lt Col William E. Winterstein Sr and published by Robert Reed Publishers. This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique and intriguing book is an excellent account of what really happened before and after Man walked on the moon. Information from insiders reveals events that fill in the gaps about the history of space exploration. No matter how skilled the writers of history, you are always getting the story secondhand. This book offers readers the opportunity to go right to the source. These men were there! It may be shocking, but it will also enhance the appreciation of the glories of this great human adventure. The book contains the little known history of the early years of man's desire to travel into space, and reveals the events that took place after the Americans walked on the moon-the true story about what caused the breakup of the German rocket team, as told by Werhner von Braun to his personal secretary; details the practices of a sinister group within the U.S. Justice Department; and, most importantly, the humiliation actively brought to bear against the very people who struggled to put Americans on the moon.
Book Synopsis Kosmos: A Portrait of the Russian Space Age by :
Download or read book Kosmos: A Portrait of the Russian Space Age written by and published by Princeton Architectural Press. This book was released on 2001-11 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inherent contradictions of the Space Age -- the mixture of technologies high and low, of nostalgia and progress, of pathos and promise -- are revealed in Kosmos, Adam Bartos's astonishing photographic survey of the Soviet space program. Bartos's fascination with this subject led him to seek out places like the bedroom where Yuri Gagarian slept the night before his history-making flight into space, located in the Baiknour Cosmodrome, the one-time top-secret space complex in the Kazakh desert. Kosmos presents 94 of Bartos's photographs, rich with the incongruities of the history, science, culture, and politics of the Space Age.
Book Synopsis This New Ocean by : William E. Burrows
Download or read book This New Ocean written by William E. Burrows and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2010-09-29 with total page 795 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was all part of man's greatest adventure--landing men on the Moon and sending a rover to Mars, finally seeing the edge of the universe and the birth of stars, and launching planetary explorers across the solar system to Neptune and beyond. The ancient dream of breaking gravity's hold and taking to space became a reality only because of the intense cold-war rivalry between the superpowers, with towering geniuses like Wernher von Braun and Sergei Korolyov shelving dreams of space travel and instead developing rockets for ballistic missiles and space spectaculars. Now that Russian archives are open and thousands of formerly top-secret U.S. documents are declassified, an often startling new picture of the space age emerges: the frantic effort by the Soviet Union to beat the United States to the Moon was doomed from the beginning by gross inefficiency and by infighting so treacherous that Winston Churchill likened it to "dogs fighting under a carpet"; there was more than science behind the United States' suggestion that satellites be launched during the International Geophysical Year, and in one crucial respect, Sputnik was a godsend to Washington; the hundred-odd German V-2s that provided the vital start to the U.S. missile and space programs legally belonged to the Soviet Union and were spirited to the United States in a derring-do operation worthy of a spy thriller; despite NASA's claim that it was a civilian agency, it had an intimate relationship with the military at the outset and still does--a distinction the Soviet Union never pretended to make; constant efforts to portray astronauts and cosmonauts as "Boy Scouts" were often contradicted by reality; the Apollo missions to the Moon may have been an unexcelled political triumph and feat of exploration, but they also created a headache for the space agency that lingers to this day. This New Ocean is based on 175 interviews with Russian and American scientists and engineers; on archival documents, including formerly top-secret National Intelligence Estimates and spy satellite pictures; and on nearly three decades of reporting. The impressive result is this fascinating story--the first comprehensive account--of the space age. Here are the strategists and war planners; engineers and scientists; politicians and industrialists; astronauts and cosmonauts; science fiction writers and journalists; and plain, ordinary, unabashed dreamers who wanted to transcend gravity's shackles for the ultimate ride. The story is written from the perspective of a witness who was present at the beginning and who has seen the conclusion of the first space age and the start of the second.

Book excerpt: The long-buried truth about the dawn of the Space Age: lies, spies, socialism, and sex magick. Los Angeles, 1930s: Everyone knows that rockets are just toys, the stuff of cranks and pulp magazines. Nevertheless, an earnest engineering student named Frank Malina sets out to prove the doubters wrong. With the help of his friend Jack Parsons, a grandiose and occult-obsessed explosives enthusiast, Malina embarks on a journey that takes him from junk yards and desert lots to the heights of the military-industrial complex. Malina designs the first American rocket to reach space and establishes the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. But trouble soon finds him: the FBI suspects Malina of being a communist. And when some classified documents go missing, will his comrades prove as dependable as his engineering? Drawing on an astonishing array of untapped sources, including FBI documents and private archives, Escape From Earth tells the inspiring true story of Malina's achievements--and the political fear that's kept them hidden. At its heart, this is an Icarus tale: a real life fable about the miracle of human ingenuity and the frailty of dreams.
