As people around the world celebrate the anniversary of this great American achievement, they might wonder why there have been no further human missions to the Moon since Apollo 17 in 1972. This book assesses the legacy of the Apollo missions based on several decades of space developments since the program's end. The question of why we haven't sent humans back to the Moon is explored through a multidisciplinary lens that weaves together technological and historical perspectives. The nine manned Apollo missions, including the six that landed on the Moon, are described here by an author who has 50 years of experience in the space industry and whose work spanned the Apollo 8-13 missions. The final section of the book provides a comprehensive assessment of today's programs and current plans for sending humans to the Moon."-- $c Page 4 of cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Space flight to the moon. $9 11361 650 0 $a Technological forecasting. $9 27163 651 0 $a Moon $x Exploration. $9 26007 651 0 $a Outer space $x Civilian use. $9 431485 941 $a 1 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909054711.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=38A4B624300611EDA406B4E81FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
