      abstract = {This book examines the U.S. space program's triumphs and  failures in order to assess what constitutes a successful  space policy. Using NASA and the space industry's complex  history as a guide, it draws global lessons about space  missions and the trends we can expect from different  nations in the next decade and beyond. Space exploration  has become increasingly dependent on cooperation between  countries as well as the involvement of private enterprise.  This book thus addresses issues such as: Given their  tenuous history, can rival countries work together? Can  private enterprise fill NASA's shoes and provide the same  expertise and safety standards? Written by a former NASA  Aerodynamics Officer at Houston Mission Control working on  the Space Shuttle program, the second edition of this book  provides updated information on U.S. space policy,  including the new strategy to return to the Moon prior to  traveling to Mars. Additionally, it takes a look at the  formation of the Space Force as a military unit, as well as  the latest developments in private industry. Overall, it is  a thought-provoking resource for both space industry  professionals and space enthusiasts.},
