Eisenhower's "New Look" expanded the role of the Air Force in national security, and ultimately allowed ambitious aerospace projects, namely the "Dyna-Soar," a bomber equipped with nuclear weapons that would operate in space. Eisenhower's space policy was purely practical, creating a strong deterrent against the use of nuclear arms against the United States.With the Soviet launch of Sputnik in 1957, the political climate changed, and space travel became part of the United States' national discourse. Sambaluk explores what followed, including the scuttling of the "Dyna-Soar" program and the transition from Eisenhower's space policy to John Kennedy's. This well-argued, well-researched book gives much needed perspective on the Cold War's influence on space travel and it's relation to the formation of public policy. 410 0$aTransforming war. 606 $aAstronautics and state$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAeronautics and state$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSpace race$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aNational security$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAstronautics, Military$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAstronautics and state$xHistory 615 0$aAeronautics and state$xHistory 615 0$aSpace race$xHistory 615 0$aNational security$xHistory 615 0$aAstronautics, Military$xHistory 676 $a358.8 700 $aSambaluk$b Nicholas Michael$01041634 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460956703321 996 $aThe other space race$92465308 997 $aUNINA
