S. space program, which has changed considerably over the past 50 years.The future of space exploration has become increasingly dependent on other countries and private enterprise. Can private enterprise fill NASA's shoes and provide the same expertise, safety measures and lessons learned? In order to tell this story, it is important to understand the politics of space as well as the dangers, why it is so difficult to explore and utilize the resources of space. Some past and recent triumphs and failures will be discussed, pointing the way to a successful space policy that includes taking risks but also learning how to mitigate them. .Space ExplorationTechnologyEconomic policySpace sciencesAerospace engineeringAstronauticsPopular Science in Technologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q36000R & D/Technology Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W43000Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030Aerospace Technology and Astronauticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17050Technology.Economic policy.Space sciences.Aerospace engineering.Astronautics.Popular Science in Technology.R & D/Technology Policy.Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics).Aerospace Technology and Astronautics.600Dawson Lindaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut825052BOOK9910153304103321The Politics and Perils of Space Exploration2108046UNINA
