"Solar System Exploration @ 50" was held in Washington, D.C., on 25-26 October 2012. The purpose of this symposium was to consider, over the more than 50-year history of the Space Age, what we have learned about the other bodies of the solar system and the processes by which we have learned it. Symposium organizers asked authors to address broad topics relating to the history of solar system exploration such as various flight projects, the development of space science disciplines, the relationship between robotic exploration and human spaceflight, the development of instruments and methodologies for scientific exploration, as well as the development of theories about planetary science, solar system origins and implications for other worlds. The papers in this volume provide a richly textured picture of important developments - and some colorful characters - in a half century of solar system exploration. A comprehensive history of the first 50 years of solar system exploration would fill many volumes. What readers will find in this volume is a collection of interesting stories about money, politics, human resources, commitment, competition and cooperation, and the "faster, better, cheaper" era of solar system exploration"--$cProvided by publisher. 517 $a50 years of solar system exploration 606 $aPlanets$xExploration$xHistory$vCongresses 606 $aSpace flight$xHistory$vCongresses 606 $aAstronautics$xHistory$vCongresses 606 $aSpace sciences$xHistory$vCongresses 606 $aAstronautics$2fast 606 $aExploration of outer space$2fast 606 $aPlanets$xExploration$2fast 606 $aSpace flight$2fast 606 $aSpace sciences$2fast 607 $aOuter space$xExploration$xHistory$vCongresses 607 $aOuter space$2fast 608 $aConference papers and proceedings.$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 608 $aConference papers and proceedings.$2lcgft 615 0$aPlanets$xExploration$xHistory 615 0$aSpace flight$xHistory 615 0$aAstronautics$xHistory 615 0$aSpace sciences$xHistory 615 7$aAstronautics. 615 7$aExploration of outer space. 615 7$aPlanets$xExploration. 615 7$aSpace flight. 615 7$aSpace sciences. 676 $a919.904 702 $aBillings$b Linda 712 02$aUnited States.$bNASA History Division, 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910715070203321 996 $a50 years of solar system exploration$93401274 997 $aUNINA
