NASA has a rich aviation research heritage and has also done pathbreaking scientific and applications work using robotic spacecraft, human spaceflight is a difficult endeavor that engenders great enthusiasm and support for NASA. This symposium contains sixteen fascinating essays about the past and future of spaceflight, written by some of the most important figures in the space community. A confluence of anniversaries made the spring of 2001 a propitious time for reflection on a forty-year record of achievement and on what may lie ahead. The fortieth anniversary of Alan Shepard's first spaceflight, took place on 5 May 2001. The fortieth anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's spaceflight, the first time a human orbited Earth, took place on 12 April 2001. In addition, 25 May was the fortieth anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's famous speech in which he proposed putting an American on the Moon "before this decade is out," initiating the Apollo Project. N° de réf. du vendeur 78369
