While largely engaging with the historical development of space exploration, it shows how contemporary cultural and social, and indeed geographical, research themes, including national identity, critical geopolitics, gender, technocracy, trauma and memory, can be informed by the study of space exploration.AstronauticsUnited StatesHistoryAstronauticsSocial aspectsUnited StatesNational characteristics, AmericanOuter spaceExplorationUnited StatesHistoryOuter spaceExplorationSocial aspectsUnited StatesElectronic books.AstronauticsHistory.AstronauticsSocial aspectsNational characteristics, American.629.4/10973Sage Daniel1980-862186MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459770903321How outer space made America1924585UNINA
