Summary
"In summer 1969, astronauts landed on the moon and hippie hordes descended on Woodstock--two era-defining events that are not entirely coincidental. Neil M. Maher shows how NASA's celestial aspirations were tethered to terrestrial concerns of the time: the civil rights struggle, the antiwar movement, environmentalism, feminism, and the culture wars."--Provided by publisher.
