U. 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. . 410 0$aSpace Exploration 606 $aTechnology 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aSpace sciences 606 $aAerospace engineering 606 $aAstronautics 606 $aPopular Science in Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q36000 606 $aR & D/Technology Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W43000 606 $aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030 606 $aAerospace Technology and Astronautics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17050 615 0$aTechnology. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aSpace sciences. 615 0$aAerospace engineering. 615 0$aAstronautics. 615 14$aPopular Science in Technology. 615 24$aR & D/Technology Policy. 615 24$aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics). 615 24$aAerospace Technology and Astronautics. 676 $a600 700 $aDawson$b Linda$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0825052 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910153304103321 996 $aThe Politics and Perils of Space Exploration$92108046 997 $aUNINA
