PREFACE

AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE APOLLO PROGRAM

When future generations review the history of the twentieth century they will judge humanity's movement

into space, with both machines and people, as one of its most important developments. Even at this juncture the

compelling nature of space flight, and the activity that it has engendered on the part of many peoples and

governments, makes the U.S. civil space program a significant area of investigation. People from all avenues

of experience and levels of education share an interest in, if not always an attraction to, the drama of space flight.

No doubt the lunar landing of Apollo 11 in the summer of 1969 is the high point of this continuing drama.

Although President John F. Kennedy had made a public commitment in 1961 to land an American on the

Moon by the end of the decade, before this time Apollo had been all promise, and now the realization was about

to begin. Its success was an enormously significant accomplishment coming at a time when American society

was in crisis; if only for a few moments the world united as one to focus on the historic occasion.

Apollo 11 lifted off on July 16, 1969, and after confirmation that the hardware was working well began the

three day trip to the Moon. Then, at 4:18 p.m. EST on 20 July 1969 the Lunar Module--with astronauts Neil

A. Armstrong and Edwin E. Aldrin--landed on the lunar surface while Michael Collins orbited overhead in the

Apollo command module. After checkout, Armstrong set foot on the surface, telling millions who saw and heard

him on Earth that it was "one small step for man---one giant leap for mankind." Aldrin soon followed him out

and the two plodded around the landing site in the 1/6 lunar gravity, planted an American flag but omitted

claiming the land for the U.S. as had been routinely done during European exploration of the Americas, collected

soil and rock samples, and set up scientific experiments. The next day they launched back to the Apollo capsule

orbiting overhead and began the return trip to Earth, "splashing down" in the Pacific on July 24.

This flight rekindled the excitement felt in the early 1960s during the first Mercury space flights, and set the

stage for later Apollo landing missions. An ecstatic reaction circled the globe, as everyone shared in the success

of the mission. Ticker tape parades, speaking engagements, public relations events, and a world tour by the

astronauts served to create good will both in the U.S. and abroad. Five more landing missions followed through

December 1972, three of them using a lunar rover vehicle to travel in the vicinity of the landing site, but none

of them equalled the excitement of Apollo 11.

During and since the completion of the Apollo 11 landing twenty-five years ago numerous books, studies,

reports, and articles have been written about the project. This selective, annotated bibliography discusses

primarily those works judged to be most essential for researchers seeking to leam more about the Apollo

program's varied history. It should be noted that the word "selective" isjudiciously chosenhere; the works listed

below do not begin to exhaust the list of those that could have been included. A complete bibliography of books

and articles on lunar science alone would at least double the size of the present bibliography. It should also be

noted that many of the works included below are not recommended to researchers but are included here to give

them a sense of some relevant tides that they may not wish to consult. A thematic arrangement of material

concerning the project will, it is hoped, bring clarity and simplicity to such a complex subject. Any such division

is necessarily somewhat arbitrary, but subjects include Apollo and its precursors, the race with the Soviets, the

Apollo decision, Apollo technology, operations (including coverage of specific missions and reference works

dealing with lunar photography, for want of a better place to put the latter), popular culture and promotion of

spaceflight, science, the astronauts, and the management of the Apollo program, with a section on juvenile

literature at the end. Along with a summary of the contents of each item, judgments have been made on the

quality, originality, or importance of some of these publications. An index concludes this work.

Many people assisted in producing this compilation. Lee D. Saegesser, ably assisted by William S. Skerrett

and Jennifer M. Hopkins, was instrumental in obtaining many of the documents listed below, and the three of

them selected the photos that appear in the bibliography and on its cover; J.D. Hunley compiled roughly half

of the entries, then edited and critiqued the text; Patricia Shephard typed portions of the manuscript; the staffs

of the NASA Headquarters Library and the Scientific and Technical Information Program provided expert

assistance in locating bibliographical materials; Martin Manning of the United States Information Agency

provided a copy of a USIA report; and the NASA Headquarters Printing and Design Center developed the layout

and handled printing. Special thanks go to Dr. Joseph N. Tatarewicz who provided a great deal of information

for the entries in Chapter 7 on Science.

AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE APOLLO PROGRAM

This is the second publication in a new series of special studies prepared by the NASA History Office. The

MONOGRAPHS IN AEROSPACE HISTORY series is designed to provide a wide variety of studies relative

to the history of aeronautics and space. This series' publications are intended to be tightly focused in terms of

subject, relatively short in length, and reproduced in an inexpensive format to allow timely and broad

dessimination to researchers in aerospace history. Suggestions for additional publications in the series are

welcome.

GENERAL WORKS

Alexander, T. "The Unexpected Payoff of Project Apollo." Fortune. 80 (July 1969): 114-117, 150, 153-154,

156. Written before the first lunar landing, this article argues that Project Apollo had already restored the

damaged self-esteem of the United States, its original purpose. It had also developed techniques for

managing thousands of individuals from govemment, universities, and the private sector to achieve a fixed

goal, and it appeared to have achieved that goal for very nearly the cost projected at the outset of the project.

The article goes on to discuss NASA's project management system that yielded so successful an outcome.

Anderton, David A. Man in Space [also entitled America in SpaceThe First Decade]. Washington, DC: NASA

EP-48, 1968. This pamphlet contains information on Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo, launch vehicles, test

vehicles, astronauts, pressure suits, and space medicine, but it treats each subject in overview fashion.

Andrews, John Williams. A.D. Twenty-One Hundred: A Narrative of Space. Boston: Branden Press, 1969.

This is an epic poem of Project Apollo. It contains a foreword by Walter Cronkite who concluded that

Williams had turned the space "experience into meaningful felt reality, as Housman made us feel springtime

in Shropshire, or Frost, wintertime in Vermont."

Apollo in its Historical Context. Washington, DC: The George Washington University Space Policy Institute,

1990. See under Logsdon, John M.

Ashworth, William B. The Face of the Moon: Galileo to Apollo, anExhibition ofRare Books and Maps, October

13, 1989-February 28, 1990. Kansas City, MO: Linda Hall Library, 1989. This exhibition catalog shows

"how the face of the moon has been variously delineated [over the centuries] as telescopes improved, new

inventions such as photography were applied, and ultimately, as space travel led humankind to the very

surface of the moon."

Benedict, Howard; Morse, Ralph; and Glenn, Christopher. "Full-Court Press: Apollo Meets the Media." Air

and Space/Smithsonian. 4 (June/July 1989): 82-89. Three members of the media who covered Apollo and

earlier space and missile efforts discuss their recollections of the American space efforts in the late 1950s

and the 1960s.

Benson, Charles D. and Faherty, William Bamaby. Moonport: A History of Apollo Launch Facilities and

Operations. Washington, DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration SP-4204, 1978. An

excellent history of the design and construction of the lunar launch facilities at Kennedy Space Center. Of

Moonport, a reviewer in the Journal of American History said in 1979, "The authors had access to official

documents, letters, and memoranda, and they have apparently consulted all the relevant historical,

technological, and scientific secondary materials...all the involved historians obviously spent considerable

time studying and intellectually digesting technical reports and manuals in order to give their lay readers

such lucid accounts of highly complex procedures and operations...it is important to public knowledge to

have professionally trained historians employ historical methods to explain significant events and place

them in a meaningful historical context. Here is a broad lesson...that contemporary society can ill afford

to ignore."

Bockstiegel, Karl-Heinz. Editor. Manned Space Flight. Cologne: Carl Heymanns Veflag, 1993. This

collection of papers delivered at the Institute of Air and Space Law's international colloquium on human

spaceflight in May 1992 is not specifically about Apollo but includes information about Apollo missions

and an extensive bibliography.

Booker, Peter Jeffrey; Frewer, G.C.; and, Pardoe, G.K.C. Project Apollo: The Way to the Moon. New York:

American Elsevier Pub. Co., 1969. A popular and readable account prepared in anticipation of and released

just after the Apollo 11 mission in 1969, this book condenses the essential details of 10 years of American

space activities into a short narrative. It begins with a discussion of the enormous growth of NASA and the

entire space effort in the early 1960s and ends with speculation on future developments in human exploration

of the Solar System.

Bradbury, Ray. "An Impatient Gulliver Above our Roofs." Life. 24 November 1967, pp. 31-37.9 color photos.

Story by Ray Bradbury on assignment for Life at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston and his

impressions of the Saturn 5 launch.

Brian, William L., II. Moongate: Suppressed Findings of the U.S. Space Program, the NASA-Military Coverup. Portland, OR: Future Science Research Pub. Co., 1982. As the title suggests, this is a sensationalistic

expos6 arguing that "the true circumstances surrounding the Apollo missions and related discoveries were

carefully suppressed from the public." The author claims that far from NASA's space program being a

civilian effort as advertised, "the military had almost complete control over it and...many NASA findings

were withheld from the public." The title of Chapter 10, "Evidence of Extraterrestrial Interference in the

Space Program," will suggest the highly speculative and tenuous tenor of the book, much of which is quite

technical, to boot. Lightly footnoted with references alike to scholarly sources and The NationalEnquirer,

the work should be consulted with great caution by those without a solid grounding in space history and

technology.

Brueton, Diana. Many Moons: The Myth and Magic, Fact and Fantasy of Our Nearest Heavenly Body. New

York: Prentice Hall Press, 1991. An excellent discussion of the Moon in human legend, lore, science, and

popular culture.

Bruno, Leonard C. "We have a sporting chance" : The Decision to go to the Moon, An Exhibition at the Library

of Congress, July 16-September 16, 1979. Washington: Library of Congress, 1979. This catalog for the

tenth anniversary exhibit commemorating Apollo 11 provides an overview in narrative and photos of the

background to the mission that carried out President Kennedy's pledge in 1961 to land Americans on the

Moon within the decade and retum them safely to Earth. Also included is a retrospective reflection on the

mission. A good overview with excellent photographs.

Burgess, Eric. Outpost on Apollo's Moon. New York: Columbia University Press, 1993. This heavily

illustrated new book argues that employing Apollo hardware on the Moon could permit permanent

settlements that would benefit science, humanity, and business. Contains an evaluation of the successes and

failures of Apollo as well as how they could be adapted to today's needs.

Burrows, William E. Exploring Space: Voyages in the Solar System and Beyond. New York: Random House,

1990. This journalistic account covers Apollo only in passing but has intelligent things to say about it.

General Works

Butler, S.T., and Messel, H. Editors. Apollo and the Universe: Selected Lectures on the U.S. Manned Space

Flight Program and Selected Fields of Modern Physics and Cosmology. New York: Pergamon Press, 1968.

Most of this small but not short book has nothing to do with Apollo, but the first lecture, "Space Rocketry

and a Man on the Moon," by NASA Associate Administrator for Manned Space Flight George E. Mueller

devotes a chapter to the Mercury and Gemini programs and another to Apollo as it had evolved until 1968.

Chamberland, Dennis. "Splashdown!" Proceedings of the U.S. Navallnstitute. 115 (1989): 36-43. Covers the

evolution of spacecraft recovery techniques from Mercury through Apollo.

Chappell, Russell E. Apollo. Washington, DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 1974. Heavy

on spectacular photographs, this is an overview not only of Apollo through the lunar landing in July 1969

but also Mercury and Gemini before it.

Chester, Michael, and McClinton, David. The Moon: Target for Apollo. New York: Putnam, 1963. Illustrated

with photos and line drawings by Robert Bartram. A pre-Apollo 11 account of what humans learned about

the Moon from the third century B.C. to the lunar probes (Pioneer through Ranger).

Closets, Franqois de. La lune est d vendre; essai. Paris: Denoel, 1969. Entitled in English "the Moon is for

sale; essay," this little book provides readers of French some thoughtful reflections on humanity's conquest

of lunar space.

Collins, Michael. Liftoff: The Story of America's Adventure in Space. New York: Grove Press, 1988. This

book, a general history of the U.S. space program for a popular audience written by one of the three

participating astronauts in the Apollo 11 flight. He begins with an account of that flight, then flashes back

to the post-World War II beginnings of the United States' interest in space and traces the evolution of the

space program through the founding of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 1958

and its launching of the Mercury and Gemini programs to the history of the Apollo program itself. These

sections account for roughly two-thirds of the book, with the remainder taking the story of U.S. space

exploration through Skylab to the Challenger accident and the prospects for space efforts as they looked in

the late 1980s.

Cooke, Hereward Lester, with the collaboration of Dean, James D. Foreword by J. Carter Brown. Preface by

Thomas O. Paine. Eyewitness to Space: Paintings and Drawings Related to the Apollo Mission to the Moon

Selected, with a Few Exceptions,from the Art Program of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (1963 to 1969). New York: H.N. Abrams, 1971. A collection of 258 paintings and drawings in

reproduction, created by a variety of artists ranging from Norman Rockwell to Chesley Bonestell. A

magnificent and variegated collection.

Cortright, Edgar M. Editor. Apollo Expeditions to the Moon. Washington, DC: NASA SP-350, 1975. This

large-formatted volume, with numerous illustrations in both color and black and white, contains essays by

numerous luminaries ranging from NASA administrator James E. Webb ("A Perspective on Apollo") to

astronauts Michael Collins and Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr. ("'The Eagle Has Landed'"). By no means a scholarly

work, this collection consists rather of the recollections of participants and one correspondent (Robert

Sherrod). Among the perspectives offered are those of Robert R. Gilruth on engineering, Wemher von

Braun on Satum, George M. Low on the spaceships, Christopher C. Kraft on mission control, Samuel C.

Phillips on the shakedown cruises, and George E. Mueller on "Getting It All Together."

The Early Years: Mercury to Apollo-Soyuz. Washington, DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration,

1988. This 14-page information summery contains brief accounts of projects Mercury, Gemini, Apollo,

Skylab, and Apollo-Soyuz with appendices about manned spacecraft and launch vehicles,

An Annotated Bibliography of the Apollo Program

Fairley, Peter. Man on the Moon. London: Arthur Barker Limited, 1969. Yet another popular, undocumented

account published soon after Apollo 11 's conclusion, this volume covers not only that mission but the

background to it, the Apollo 204 fire, and the missions yet on the agenda. It also discusses the race with the

Soviets.

Freeman, Marsha. How We Got to the Moon: The Story of the German Space Pioneers. Washington, DC: 21 st

Century Associates, 1993. The author of this book tries to make the German emigrees who came to the

United States with Wernher von Braun in 1945 the central force behind the success of Project Apollo.

Freeman traces all spaceflight ideals and imagination to a German group formed by Hermann Oberth and

Willy Ley and including Wemher yon Braun, among others, in the first part of the twentieth century, who

created the U.S. space program and the "glory" of Apollo. In so doing, she concentrates on such ancillary

stories as the development of the V-2 by von Braun's "rocket team" for Germany in World War II, totally

ignoring the contributions of other people and nations to the overall space effort.

Fries, Sylvia D. NASA Engineers and the Age of Apollo. Washington, DC: NASA SP-4104, 1992. This book

is a sociocultural analysis of a selection of engineers at NASA who worked on Project Apollo. It analyzes

the manner in which different personalities, perspectives, backgrounds, and priorities came together to

inform the direction of NASA during the 1960s. The author makes extensive use of oral history in this study,

providing both a significant appraisal of NASA during its "golden age" and important documentary material

for future explorations.

Furniss, Tim. "One Small Step"--The Apollo Missions, the Astronauts, the Aftermath: A Twenty Year

Perspective. Somerset, England: G.T. Foulis & Co., 1989. Developed for a retrospective celebration on

the twentieth anniversary of the lunar landing, this book tries to recreate the exhilaration of the Apollo

missions.

Gregory, William H. "Project Apollo in Retrospect." In Ordway, Frederick I., III and Liebermann, Randy.

Blueprint for Space: Science Fiction to Science Fact. Washington, DC: Smithsonian Institution Press,

1992. Pp. 155-65. Provides a good, brief overview of the entire Apollo program from background through

inception to its completion with the splashdown of Apollo 17 on 19 December 1972. It covers the major

management decisions, technological achievements, and political contexts as well as providing perspective

on the program from the vantage point of two decades after the events. Also includes a brief bibliography.

Hallion, Richard P., and Crouch, Tom D. Editors. Apollo: Ten Years Since Tranquility Base. Washington, DC:

Smithsonian Institution Press, 1979. This is a collection of essays developed for the National Air and Space

Museum, commemorating the tenth anniversary of the first landing on the Moon, July 20, 1969. It consists

of sixteen articles, mostly written directly for the National Air and Space Museum by a variety of experts,

that range from Roger E. Bilstein's overview entitled, "The Saturn Launch Vehicle Family," to Kerry M.

JoEls' "Apollo and the 'Two Cultures'." Other contributions by such luminaries as John M. Logsdon;

Frederick C. Durant, III; Farouk E1-Baz; and Rocco A. Petrone, not to mention the two editors, attempt to

set the Apollo missions in historical perspective and to explain such matters as operational support, the

command and service modules, the lunar module, and the Apollo space suit. Dominick A. Pisano has

provided a selective bibliography at the conclusion of the volume.

Hechler, Ken. Toward the Endless Frontier: History of the Committee on Science and Technology, 1959-1979.

Washington, DC: U.S. House of Representatives, 1980. This lengthy tome contains the best account to date

of Congressional wrangling over Project Apollo, and demonstrates the bipartisan nature of both Apollo

support and opposition.

General Works

Departments and Agencies, this critical but by no means scholarly account offers one chapter and scattered

other references to Apollo.

Holmes, Jay. America on the Moon. Philadelphia: L.B. Lippincott, 1962. This popular account without

scholarly apparatus provides an early look at the Apollo program and its background. Useful for its

perspective on how Apollo in its beginnings looked to one investigator.

"How An Idea No One Wanted Grew Up To Be the LEM." Life. 14 March 1969, pp. cover, 20-27. 8 color

photos, 1 color painting, 4 B&W sketches. A fascinating look at the evolution or the Lunar Excursion

Module. Also discusses how the lunar rendezvous scheme was picked.

Hoyt, Edwin P. The Space Dealers: A Hard Look at the Role of Business in the U.S. Space Effort. New York:

The John Day Co., 1971. This book describes the intricate interrelationships between govemment

organizations such as NASA and the aerospace industry. Not specifically focused on Apollo, it uses that

program as a test case in looking at the larger question of government/industry relations.

Hurt, Harry, III. For All Mankind. New York: Atlantic Monthly Press, 1988. Another attempt, really quite a

lame one by a correspondent for Newsweek, to provide a compelling and convincing narrative of Project

Apollo.

Kane, Francis X. "The NASA Program." Air University Review. 14 (Winter-Spring 1962-3): 189-204. This

undocumented article by an Air Force officer discusses especially Air Force support for NASA programs,

including but not focussing exclusively on Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo.

Kaysing, Bill and Reid, Randy. We Never Went to the Moon: America' s 30 Billion Dollar Swindle. Comville,

AZ: Desert Publications, 1981. This curious and cheaply-put-together compilation concludes without

documentation or real evidence that "THE TRIP TO THE MOON WAS A HOAX"--to use the typography

as well as the words in the authors' conclusions. Hardly definitive!

Knight, David C. Compiler. American Astronauts and Spacecraft: A Pictorial History from Project Mercury

through Apollo 13. New York: F. Watts, 1970. This (mostly black and white) pictorial history consists

almost entirely of photos, some of them with lengthy captions. It does contain useful biographies of the

astronauts and a lengthy glossary of space terms.

Launius, Roger D. NASA: A History of the U.S. Civil Space Program. Melboume, FL: Krieger, 1994. A short

book in the Anvil Series, this history of U.S. civilian space efforts consists half of narrative and half of

documents. It contains three chapters on the Apollo program plus two others on the Sputnik crisis and the

events leading up to the creation of NASA and one dealing with the rise of space science and technology.

While coverage consists more of overview than detailed analysis, the approach is broadly analytical and

provides the most recent general treatment of its topic, designed more for the student or general reader than

for the specialist.

Levine, Arthur L. The Future of the U.S. Space Program. New York: Praeger Publishers, 1975. Despite its

somewhat misleading title, most of this book by a long-time NASA employee who later moved to academia

deals with the history of the agency. Chapters 4 and 5 cover the space program during roughly the Apollo

period.

Lewis, Richard S. Appointment on the Moon: The Inside Story of America's Space Adventure. New York:

Viking, 1969. Perhaps the first book to capitalize on the success of Apollo 11 in 1969, this history appeared

within days of the "splashdown."

An Annotated Bibliography of the Apollo Program

. The Voyages of Apollo: The Exploration of the Moon. New York: Quadrangle, 1974. This popularly

written but not nontechnical account covers the background to the Apollo mission seen as an exploration

of the Moon• It then discusses the changes in our perceptions of that heavenly body as succeeding Apollo

missions added to our knowledge. Without scholarly apparatus, this is clearly a non-scientist's interpretation of lunar science, but it presents an informed series of perspectives as of the time it was written.

Life in Space• Boston: Little, Brown and Co., 1983. A look at the U.S. space program from Project Mercury

through the Space Shuttle and planetary explorers. Tremendous collection of photos, most culled from the

Life collection. Covers all manned missions.

Lindbergh, Anne Morrow. Earth Shine. New York: Harcourt, Brace & World, 1969. A republication of the

article described below and one on East Africa together with some reflections on how the two are linked

together.

• "The Heron and the Astronaut." Life. 28 February 1969, pp. 1, 14-27. Impressionistic story about Cape

Kennedy, the launch of Apollo 8, and what Apollo 11 means for mankind, complete with a number of

photographs•

Logsdon, John M., et al. Apollo in its Historical Context. Washington, DC: George Washington University

Space Policy Institute, 1990. This edited version of remarks presented at a 1989 symposium includes articles

by Logsdon on "Evaluating Apollo"; Walter A. McDougaU on "Apollo and Technocracy"; Daniel J.

Boorstin on "The Rise of Public Discovery"; and Frank White on "Apollo in a Millennial Perspective."

Concludes with a discussion based on questions from the audience at the symposium. Useful for the

perspectives offered by the four eminent participants.

• "An Apollo Perspective." Astronautics & Aeronautics. 17 (December 1979): 112-116. This brief article

analyzes the situation facing the U. S. space program in 1979 in the light of Apollo and concludes that the

base of support for a major national investment in space, such as the one that existed for Apollo in 1961

simply did not exist 18 years later and was unlikely to emerge again for a considerable time in the future.

• "From Apollo to Shuttle: Policy Making in the Post Apollo Era." Unpublished typescript, Spring 1983,

copy in NASA History Office Reference Collection• This lengthy "Partial and Preliminary Manuscript" is

concerned prim arily with the "decisions taken during the 1969-1972 period on what the United States would

do in space after landing on the moon." However, since these decisions were made in the context of Apollo

the author does discuss it as well.

Low, George M. "What Made Apollo a Success? Introduction." Astronautics and Aeronautics. (March 1970):

36-45• This brief article by the NASA deputy administrator at the time and former manager of the Apollo

spacecraft program discusses a range of issues involved in Apollo's successes to date, including spacecraft

design and development, mission design and planning, flight-crew and flight operations, spacecraft test

activities, and management's control of spacecraft changes. Although not entirely free of jargon, this is

generally a readable and well-written analysis. It concludes that the preeminent factor in Apollo's success

was attention to detail coupled with dedication.

Lutman, C. C. "The Apollo Program." Air University Review. 16 (May-June 1965): 16-21. This short,

undocumented article by an Air Force officer who had served in NASA concentrates on spacecraft, guidance

and navigation systems, instrumentation and scientific equipment, and operations with emphasis on the fact

"that the Apollo program is not aimed solely at the successful completion of a lunar landing but rather is a

tool employed to obtain and keep U.S. supremacy in space."

Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, Apollo Program Summary Report. Houston, TX: Lyndon B. Johnson Space

Center, 1975. This lengthy report summarizes the principal activities during Apollo and provides references

for those seeking greater detail. It is divided into sections on the flight program, science, vehicle

development and performance, spacecraft development testing, the flight crew, mission operations,

biomedical matters, spacecraft manufacturing and testing, launch facilities and operations, and the lunar

receiving laboratory, which initially quarantined astronaut crews and handled lunar samples. Illustrations

and appendices supplement the text. This report probably gives the most complete overview of the program

to be found anywhere and may be the best single place for researchers new to Apollo to begin.

Mailer, Norman. "A Dream of the Future's Face." Life. 9 January 1970, pp. 56-57, 60, 62, 62-63, 64, 66, 68,

70, 72, 74. 2 color photos. Part III of Norman Mailer's Fire on the Moon examines some "philosophical"

questions on where society is headed.

"A Fire on the Moon." Life. 29 August 1969, pp. cover, 1, 24-42. 4 color photos. Part I of Norman

Mailer's personal study of the U.S. space program. Includes transcripts of the Public Affairs Officer's

Apollo 11 countdown. Also, "Men In Space," p. 46A.

• Of a Fire on the Moon. Boston: Little, Brown, 1970. London, Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1970. New

York: New American Library, 1971. One of the foremost contemporary American writers, Mailer was

commissioned to comment on the first lunar landing. What he wrote was this rather confused and confusing

account that is written as a series of almost stream-of-consciousness ruminations about spaceflight. They

do provide some insights, most importantly as Mailer with his 1960s countercultural mindset meets its

antithesis, a NASA steeped in middle class values and reverence for the American flag and culture. Mailer

was forced, grudgingly, to admit that NASA's approach to task accomplishment--which he sees as the

embodiment of the Protestant Work Ethic--and its technological and scientific capability got results with

Apollo. He rails at NASA's closed and austere society, one where he says outsiders are distrusted and held

at arm's length with a bland and faceless courtesy that betrays nothing. For all of its skepticism, for all of

its esotericism, the book captures some interesting insights into rocket technology and the people who

produced it in Project Apollo, but it is heavy going to extract them from this dense book.

Manno, Jack. Arming the Heavens. New York: Dodd, Mead, 1988. This sparsely documented volume with

an extensive annotated bibliography begins the account by tracing the "Nazi legacy" of the space program

back to Wemher yon Braun and the ballistic missile program at Peenem_nde. The book's thrust is suggested

by the concluding paragraph to Chapter 16, "The Space Warriors Return," referring to the presidency of

Ronald Reagan and the end it signalled to "U.S. efforts even to pretend that American space activities would

be devoted to peaceful purposes. That paragraph reads: "The new arms race in space is but another

example--perhaps the last one---of leaders refusing to accept the limits of military power, of trying therefore

to bring military solutions to bear on what are global political and social crises. The only real hope for

national security in the Space Age lies in international security. Global social and political solutions must

be sought for the global social and political problems that lead to war." Many readers may disagree with

this approach, but the author presents a reasoned if not scholarly argument in support of it.

Mansfield, John M. Man on the Moon. New York: Stein and Day, 1969. Written by a BB C television producer,

this book begins with ancient conceptions of the Moon and continues with theoretical foundations for the

space age in the works of science fiction authors and theoreticians. The book's capstone is a discussion of

NASA and Project Apollo.

just Apollo 17 but the Apollo program as a whole, including hardware.

Ordway, Frederick I., III, and Sharpe, Mitchell R. Foreword by Wernher yon Braun. The Rocket Team. New

York: Crowell, 1979. This is an important, popularly-oriented, and somewhat apologetic discussion of the

activities of the group of German engineers under the leadership of Wernher yon Braun who developed the

V-2 in World War II, came to the United States in 1945, and worked at the Marshall Spaceflight Center at

Huntsville, Alabama, to develop the Satum V launch vehicle used in Project Apollo.

• Adams, Carsbie C.; and Sharpe, Mitchell R. Dividends from Space. New York: Thomas Y. Crowell,

1972. This is an attempt to show that the costs of the space program have been more than returned in benefits

to humanity, both tangible and intangible. The authors discuss at length the use of space systems to improve

weather forecasting, facilitate communications, and inventory Earth resources. They also emphasize the

development of the technological base with such major programs as Project Apollo.

and Apollo.

Petroski, Henry. To Engineer is Human: The Role of Failure in Successful Design. New York: St. Martin's

Press, 1985. This books offers a series of reflections upon the relationship between engineering and risk.

The author comments on the development of a special faith attached to modem technology in the public

mind, and the effect recent disasters, from Three-mile Island to Chemobyl, had on that confidence. This

book is not simply a chronicle of accidents, but seeks to look at the process of engineering and its creative

aspects apart from its scientific ones. Petroski notes that the design process accepts failure and seeks to test

and gradually develop a system, whatever it might be, that has an acceptable level of risk to operate. He

cautions that nothing is error free. He ends with a discussion of structural failures and their causes, dividing

them into several categories. He notes that many recent failures are not due to engineering but to poor

construction, inferior materials, inadequate attention to detail, or poor management and oversight.

Rabinowitch, Eugene, and Lewis, Richard S. Editors. Man on the Moon: The Impact on Science, Technology,

and International Cooperation. New York: Basic Books, 1969. The editors have assembled articles that

provide a range of views on the impact of the exploration of space on science, technology, and international

cooperation. Each author approaches the subject from a particular perspective, speculating on the meaning

of the Apollo lunar landing and offering prognostications for the future.

ed. published in 1971 under title: The Invasion of the Moon, 1957-1970. This book capitalizes on the

excitement of the first Apollo landing, proving a recitation of the expedition for a popular audience. Rather

more detailed than many popular accounts, this book went into a second edition that carried the narrative

through Apollo 13. Also covers the Soviet space program.

University astronomer, describes the possibilities of space flight for scientific inquiry. Another by Silvio

A. Bedini, of the Smithsonian Institution, deals with the Moon's role in human affairs. A final article by

Wernher von Braun of NASA analyzes Project Apollo and its execution in the 1960s.

United States House, Committee on Science and Technology, Subcommittee on Space Science and Applications. United States Civilian Space Programs, 1958-1978. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing

of issues for congressional consideration, a history of NASA and its relation to American space policy, and

accounts of "NASA Facilities and Tracking Systems," "Launch Vehicles and Propulsion," "Manned Space

Flight Through 1975," and a variety of other topics, most of them unrelated to Apollo. In the introduction

and summary written by Marcia S. Smith, one comment is that the "manned space program, which saw six

two-man crews land on the surface of the Moon and return safely to Earth, has received the most media and

public attention..." but adds that it is only one part of the space program.

United States Information Agency. Effect of the Moon Landing on Opinions in Six Countries. Washington,DC:

USIA, 1969. Copy in the NASA Historical Reference Collection, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC.

This research report, which was not made available to the general public until 1971, contains 7 tables and

11 charts in addition to 15 pages of text. It concluded from opinion surveys conducted immediately before

and after Apollo 11 that the "U.S. standing in science" and space exploration improved considerably

following the successful Moon landing in Great Britain, India, France, Japan, Venezuela, and the

Philippines but that opinions of U.S. military strength rose only in Britain, France, and Japan, and there only

slightly.

Van Dyke, Vernon. Pride and Power: The Rationale of the Space Program. Urbana: University of Illinois

Press, 1964. This analysis of the overall rationale of the Apollo program came to the conclusion that the

"most powerful motives" behind it involved competition with the Soviet Union. "Motives such as the

promotion of scientific, technological, and economic progress" were "less compelling in political circles"

though elsewhere one or the other of them may have been more central. Although mostly about these

motivations, this carefully researched book by an academic, also discusses organizational arrangements;

relations among NASA, the business world, and universities; intemational cooperation; and NASA's public

information programs. Although his research is certainly dated, Van Dyke's conclusions hold up

surprisingly well after the passage of 30 years.

splashdown of spacecraft.

Young, Hugo; Silcock, Bryan; and Dunn, Peter. Journey to Tranquillity: The History of Man' s Assault on the

Moon. Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1970. A ponderous "anti-Apollo" broadside, this book seeks to cast

aspersions on the entire space program. Handled deftly by investigative journalists who are writing an

expos6, the first chapter sets the stage by characterizing Wernher von Braun as a self-righteous traitor and

John F. Kennedy as an adolescent exhibitionist. They then describe a conspiracy of bureaucrats,

industrialists, and politicians who promote space as a means of feathering their own nests. The authors used

the Apollo fire that killed three astronauts as the evidence that "proves" the dishonesty and criminal behavior

of NASA and other space advocates. The authors were journalists with the London Sunday Times and they

provided a fast-paced if highly critical analysis of Project Apollo.

CHAPTER 2

THE SPA CE RACE

Breuer, William B. Race to the Moon: America's Duel with the Soviets. Westport, CT: Praeger, 1993. This

book, written by ajoumalist who has made a career out of writing World War II adventures, is neither about

the race to the Moon nor the U.S. rivalry with the U.S.S.R. The majority of it is, instead, about the World

War II efforts of the German rocket team under Wemher yon Braun at Peenem_inde, their wartime exploits,

their surrender to American forces in 1945, and their post-war activities in the U.S. Only 6 of 24 chapters

actually deal with Project Apollo, and none of the book goes beyond the popular literature on either the

Germans or Apollo.

Bulkeley, Rip. The Sputniks Crisis and Early United States Space Policy: A Critique of the Historiography of

Space. Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1991. This is an important discussion of early efforts to

develop civil space policy in the aftermath of the Sputnik crisis of 1957. Not explicitly concerned with

Project Apollo, it does contain much information relative to the rivalry between the United State and the

Soviet Union and how it was affected by the launching of the Sputnik 1 scientific satellite. It also discusses

the debate that took place within the Eisenhower administration over whether or not to begin an aggressive

lunar landing program, the program that ultimately became Apollo. Eisenhower always opposed the idea

of an aggressive lunar landing program, for as he said at a meeting in February 1958 "he would rather have

a good Redstone than be able to hit the moon, for we didn't have any enemies on the moon."

Caiden, Martin. War for the Moon. New York: E.P. Dutton and Co., 1959. This presents a strong case for the

U.S. to rush to the Moon, framed in the context of the Cold War rivalry with the Soviet Union, written at

the time that the first lunar probes were being launched.

Clark, Philip S. The Soviet Manned Space Program. New York: Crown Pub., Orion Books, 1988. This is a

general historical work on the Soviet space effort, emphasizing the Cold War rivalries with the United States

and how they related to several programs, especially the race to the Moon.

• "Chelomei's Altemative Manned Lunar Program." Quest: The History of Spaceflight Magazine. 1

(Winter 1992): 31-34. Vladimir Chelomei was one of the leading spacecraft designers in the Soviet Union

in the 1960s. As one of the leading rivals to Sergei Korolev's efforts in space, Chelomei's design bureau

offered several different proposals for a lunar landing program to beat the Americans. He was unsuccessful

in obtaining approval for these programs, but that fact that they existed indicates that the Soviet leadership

could not agree on a method of racing the Americans to the Moon. This article describes the plans proposed

by Chelomei.

. "The Soviet Manned Circumlunar Program." Quest: The History of Spaceflight Magazine. 1 (Winter

1992): 17-20. This is a solid article based on post-Cold War documentation that describes the Soviet effort

to send a piloted spacecraft around the Moon before the Americans did so. Heavily illustrated, and with

tables showing major events in the program.

Cox, Donald W. America's Explorers of Space; Including a Special Report on Project ApoUo. Maplewood,

NJ: Hammond, 1969. This is a short, 96-page, illustrated history of the rivalry between the Soviet Union

An Annotated Bibliography of the Apollo Program

____ The Space Race: From Sputnik to Apollo, and Beyond• Philadelphia: Chilton Books, 1962. This is a

short and rather simplistic account by a journalist of the major points of the intemational rivalry between

the United States and the Soviet Union on the use of space for prestige purposes. It discusses in elementary

fashion the Sputnik crisis and the Gagarin 1961 orbital mission before describing the Kennedy decision to

enter the Moon race and NASA's early efforts to accomplish it through Project Apollo.

Daniloff, Nicholas. The Kremlin and the Cosmos. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1972. A joumalistic account

of the Soviet space program with some discussion of the race to the Moon.

Divine, Robert A. The Sputnik Challenge. New York: Oxford University Press, 1993. This book, while not

dealing with Project Apollo explicitly, is concerned with Eisenhower's reaction to the Soviet launch of the

Sputnik satellite in 1957. It contains insights into an ill-formed "alternative" space program promoted by

the Eisenhower White House that emphasized a modest effort using satellites for exploration and practical

applications rather than the aggressive and expensive piloted space flight program desired by space

promoters and NASA leaders.

Doel, Ronald E "Evaluating Soviet Lunar Science in Cold War America." Osiris. 7 (1992): 238-64. An

excellent discussion of the efforts of the U.S. scientific and governmental establishment to ascertain what

research the Soviets were doing relative to the Moon, along with an analysis of Soviet lunar science's

findings.

Dupas, Alain. La lutte pour l' espace (The Battle for Space). Paris: Seuil, 1977. This French-language book

contains a discussion of the U.S./U.S.S.R. rivalry in space and the lunar programs that resulted from it.

Glennan, T. Keith. The Birth of NASA: The Diary ofT. Keith Glennan. Edited by J.D. Hunley. Washington,

DC: NASA SP-4106, 1993. This diary of Eisenhower's NASA administrator contains a detailed account

of the discussions that took place prior to 1961 on the viability and desirability of undertaking an aggressive

lunar landing program as a means of demonstrating national superiority over the Soviet Union. As

administrator Glennan sponsored studies on the possibility of Project Apollo, but he always shied away from

an aggressive stance on the effort. Funding for studies of the proposal were included in the NASA budgets

for fiscal years 1961 and 1962 by Glennan, but he was unwilling to move beyond that stage until fundamental

work on other space activities had been completed. After leaving office, Glennan watched the Apollo

project closely and while admitting that he was excited by the lunar landing in 1969, he recognized that it

was the capstone of a project he believed had been ill-advised and costly. An introduction to the diary by

Roger D. Launius shows how Glennan's background prepared him for his duties as NASA's first

administrator.

Harvey, Brian. "Promise Unfulfilled: The Soviet Unmanned Moon Programme, 1969-1988." Journal of the

British Interplanetary Society. 43 (1990): 395-98. A solid discussion of the later efforts of the Soviet Union

to explore the Moon with robotic probes using information made available in the post-Cold War era.

• Race into Space: The SovietSpace Programme. Chichester, England: Ellis Horwood Ltd., 1988. This

is a solid history of the development of the Soviet space program through the mid-1980s. It has several

chapters on the lunar program, describing what information was available before the official Russian

announcement of the race in 1989.

Jastrow, Robert, and Newell, Homer E. "The Space Program and the National Interest." Foreign Affairs. 50

(April 1972): 532-44. This article is not specifically related to Apollo, but it presents an argument in an

important forum about the nature of the space program and comments on the lunar landing program in

relation to it. The authors contend that the American space program sprang principally from considerations

of national security and international prestige. That motivated most of its efforts toward Apollo in the 1960s

and has informed them since that time.

The Space Race

Johnson, Nicholas L. "Apollo and Zond--Race around the Moon." Spaceflight. 20 (December 1978): 403-412.

This retrospective article written ten years after Apollo 8 compares what was known then about Apollo with

information about the Soviet lunar program, called Zond. The author notes the incredible parallelism of

events in the two programs, including the Apollo 204 and Soyuz 1 disasters in early 1967, and concludes

that the United States and the Soviet Union were in a race to send humans around the Moon in 1968, despite

Soviet claims to the contrary.

• The Soviet Reach for the Moon: The L-1 andL-3 MannedLunar Program and the Story of the N-1 (Moon

Rocket). Washington, DC: Cosmos Books, 1994. This is a heavily-illustrated volume containing a wealth

of information about the history of the Soviet Union's efforts to race the United States to the Moon in the

1960s. It incorporates much of the recently available information on the Soviet lunar program and describes

how the USSR's very real efforts to reach the Moon failed.

Killian, James R., Jr. Sputnik, Scientists, and Eisenhower: A Memoir of the First Special Assistant to the

President for Science and Technology. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 1977. In the wake of the Soviet

orbiting of Sputnik in 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower appointed a science advisor to his White House

staff, James R. Killian from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Killian's memoir describes in detail

the debates over what course to take with the civil space program and whether or not to enter a Moon race

with the Soviet Union.

Kistiakowsky, George B. A Scientist in the White House. Introduction by Charles S. Maier. Cambridge, MA:

Harvard University Press, 1976. This is the edited diary of George B. Kistiakowsky, the second science

advisor to President Eisenhower. Taking office in July 1959, he had previously served on James Killian's

advisory committee and was well aware of the efforts to best the Soviet Union in space. This diary is

revealing about the efforts to keep the space program small and of the pressure brought to bear on the

administration to race to the Moon.

Koelle, Heinz-Hermann. "Lunar Development, Past and Future: Part 1-Apollo was a Race." Spaceflight. 35

(February 1993): 48-51. Discusses the development of the concept of sending humans to the Moon and

describes the U.S. effort with Project Apollo. Places it in the context of the Cold War, and then continues

with a discussion of the possibility of going back to the Moon at the end of the twentieth century.

Landis, Rob R. "The N- 1 and the Soviet Manned Lunar Landing Program." Quest: The History of Spaceflight

Magazine. 1 (Winter 1992): 21-30. The N-1 launcher was to have been the super-rocket that would have

taken Soviet cosmonauts to the Moon in the 1960s. Although it was officially denied until 1989, since then

there have been several discussions of the development of the N-1. This article reviews the project, its

configuration for circumlunar flight, the lunar lander it was to carry, and the unsuccessful test program of

the launch vehicle.

Lebedev, Daniel A. "The N1-L3 Programme." Spaceflight. 34 (September 1992): 288-90. This is a useful

discussion of the development of the lunar landing booster, spacecraft, and lander under development by

the Soviet Union in the 1960s. It is based on sources that came out of Russia with the end of the Cold War.

Logsdon, John M., and Dupas, Alain. "Was the Race to the Moon Real?" Scientific American. 270 (June 1994):

36-43. One of the better discussions, although not written with scholarly apparatus, of the race between the

United States and the Soviet Union to the Moon in the 1960s. The answer to the question in the title, the

authors contend, is a resounding yes. Using recently available Soviet documents, they find that the Soviets

made several secret attempts to develop hardware for a lunar landing that would beat the U.S. to the Moon.

That they were unsuccessful in doing so resulted from "personal rivalries, shifting political alliances and

bureaucratic inefficiencies." These "bred failure and delays within the Soviet lunar-landing program." The

Americans were successful, on the other hand, because they enjoyed "consistently strong political and

public support."

McDougall, Walter A .... The Heavens and the Earth: A Political History of the Space Age. New York: Basic

Books, 1985. This Pulitzer Prize-winning book analyzes the space race to the Moon in the 1960s. The

author, then teaching at the University of California, Berkeley, argues that Apollo prompted the space

program to become identified almost exclusively with high-profile, expensive, human space flight projects.

This was because Apollo became a race against the Soviet Union for recognition as the world leader in

science and technology, and by extension in other fields as well. McDougalljuxtaposes the American effort

of Apollo with the Soviet space program and the dreams of such designers as Sergei P. Korolev to land a

Soviet cosmonaut on the Moon. The author recognizes Apollo as a significant engineering achievement but

concludes that it was also enormously costly both in terms of resources and the direction to be taken in state

support of science and technology.

. "Technocracy and Statecraft in the Space Age: Toward the History of a Saltation." American Historical

Review. 87 (1982): 1010-40. This well-written article in the premier historical journal of the United States

places the space race in the context, initially, of World War II and then the Cold War. The author argues

that because of "Apollo, the space program came to stress engineering over science, competition over

cooperation, civilian over military management, and prestige over practical applications." He calls Apollo

a "magnificent achievement" but notes that by" 1963-64 left-liberal critics denounced" it "as wasteful given

problems of racism and poverty." Much more an assessment of the effect of space upon American society

than a history of developments in space, this wide-ranging essay concludes that the space race transformed

the state into a "promoter of technological progress," Implicit in the analysis is the author's doubt that this

was beneficial.

Mallove, Eugene F. "Once Upon a Moon Race." AdAstra. February 1990, pp. 14-18. This is a straightforward

piece of reporting about six U.S. university professors who visited Russia and viewed what was left of the

hardware developed for the Soviet lunar program. The article emphasizes the importance of the race

between the U.S. and the Soviet Union in the 1960s.

Mishin, Vasali. "The Moon Programme That Faltered." Spaceflight. 33 (March 1991): 2-3. This short article

is most important because it represents an essentially official Russian statement, by one of the key members

of the S.P. Korolev-led design bureau that was working on a lunar landing program. It describes the efforts

to beat the U.S. to the Moon and admits that the plan failed and was therefore denied for more than twenty

years.

Oberg, James E. "The Moon Race (and the Coverup) in Hindsight." Spaceflight. 35 (February 1993): 46-47.

Since the Russians admitted only twenty years after the fact that they were indeed involved in a serious race

to the Moon with the United States, Oberg has collected several statements from leaders in the West who

believed the Soviet Union's claims at the time that it was not involved in a lunar program. In the process,

he comments that bad guesses, Soviet lies, and naive assumptions led them to accept Soviet denials. There

are quotations from several major newspapers, politicians such as Senator J. William Fulbright, joumalists

such as Walter Cronkite and John Nobel Wilford, and academics like William Schauer and Richard Hutton.

• Red Star in Orbit• New York: Random House, 1981. Written by one of the premier Soviet space

watchers, this history of the Soviet space program is among the best published in English prior to the fall

Soviet Union's efforts to land a cosmonaut on the Moon before the U.S. Apollo landing in 1969.

• "Yes, There was a Moon Race." Air Force Magazine. 73 (April 1990): 92-97. This article examines

recently revealed evidence confirming that the Soviet Union did seek to reach the Moon before the United

States during the 1960s. A Soviet uncrewed lunar probe crashed on the Moon's surface shortly before the

landing by the U.S. during Apollo 11. The article discusses this event and numerous other details of

schedules for lunar exploration, Soviet lunar boosters and landers, the technical problems the Soviets faced,

continuous changes in their goals, and much else, showing clearly the extent of the competition with the U.S.

program.

of the cosmonauts but does not discuss at length the possibility of a lunar landing program. He does,

however, discuss the American reaction to Soviet space successes in announcing the Apollo program.

Dial Press, 1973. Translated by David Floyd. In the aftermath of the American success with Apollo 11 to

land astronauts on the Moon, this book describes how far behind the Soviet Union truly was in the

development of space technology. The author, a Soviet defector who was both a journalist and a student

of engineering, contends that the Soviet Union was involved in a secret effort to beat the Americans to the

Moon and would have used the success as another means of demonstrating the superiority of the communist

system over the capitalism of the West. They had done so with Sputnik in 1957 and the Gagarin flight in

1961--both of which had been secret efforts announced only after they had been successful--and they

would have done so again. But the author contends that the Soviet scientific and industrial complex was

insufficient to best the Americans and when Apollo 11 was completed, the Soviets quietly dropped their

plans for a lunar landing program.

greater wealth, government bureaucrats could enhance "turf," and Congressmen could have more "pork

barrel" opportunities.

Ad Hoc Committee on Space (Jerome B• Wiesner, Chair), "Report to the President-Elect of the Ad Hoc

Committee on Space," 10 January 1961. Available in the NASA Historical Reference Collection, NASA

History Office, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC. John F. Kennedy was the first president-elect to set

up high-level "transition teams" to advise him on issues that he would face upon assuming the presidency•

This is one of 29 task forces that studied national policy for the president-elect. Chaired by Massachusetts

Institute of Technology Professor Jerome Wiesner, a member of President Eisenhower's President's

Science Advisory Committee (and thus familiar with discussions inside the Eisenhower administration on

space policy and programs), this report was very critical of the management of the human space flight

program and urged Kennedy to distance himself from potential failures. It asserted that the U.S. holds "a

position of leadership in space sciences," but not in piloted space flight, which the committee nonetheless

holds to be inevitable for "the same motives that have compelled [man] to travel to the poles and to climb

the highest mountains of the earth." It specifically suggested shying away from an aggressive project such

as Apollo•

Divine, Robert A. "Lyndon B. Johnson and the Politics of Space•" In The Johnson Years: Vietnam, The

Environment, andScience. Lawrence: University Press of Kansas, 1987. Pp. 217-53. This excellent article

traces the political leadership of Senator-Vice President-President Johnson concerning the space program

from the Sputnik crisis of 1957 through January 1969. It emphasizes the role he played as chair of the

National Aeronautics and Space Council in 1961 in investigating the option for the United States in Space

and presenting to the president a well-crafted decision-package in favor of the Apollo commitment. It

emphasizes his political acumen and ability to construct a coalition of interests supporting the lunar landing.

Dryden, Hugh L. "The Exploration of Space•" Cosmos Club Lecture, 13 April 1959. Copy in NASA Historical

Reference Collection, NASA History Office, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC. The nation's post

World War II scientific elite, nurtured by the unprecedented federal investment in scientific research during

the war, had as its Washington gathering place the Cosmos Club, located in one of the elegant Renaissance

revival mansions that line Massachusetts Avenue• NASA Deputy Administrator Hugh L. Dryden, who had

spent most of his career at the National Bureau of Standards before his appointment in 1947 as Director of

Research of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), was a Cosmos Club member and

had served a term as its president. The Club was a fitting location for a lecture that laid out in some detail

the broad agenda of space science and exploration envisioned for NASA in 1959. Interestingly, Dryden's

view of NASA's long range objectives projected an orbiting space station as a prerequisite for the first

human journey to the Moon.

"Exploring the New Frontiers of Space." An address to the Westem Space Age Conference, Los

Angeles, California, 5 March 1959. Copy in NASA Historical Reference Collection, NASA History Office,

NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC. Very similar to Dryden's Cosmos Club speech, this address sets

out NASA's "inevitable" long-range plan and compares itto other exploits of discovery. He calls for human

exploration of the Moon.

• "The Next Fifty Years." Aero Digest. July 1953. In this article, the author, Director of the NACA wrote:

"If there is any Twentieth Century aspiration which corresponds to that of the Nineteenth Century for the

conquest of the air, it is perhaps that of the conquest of space with the early goal, travel to the moon. Like

the conquest of flight during the Nineteenth Century, these concepts of space travel are the results of

imaginative men to apply the technology of their day to the problem of interplanetary flight."

demonstrate U.S. technological superiority•

Logsdon, John M. The Apollo Decision and its Lessons for Policy-Makers. Washington, DC: Program of Policy

Studies in Science and Technology Occasional Paper no. 7, George Washington University, 1970. This

study is an analysis of what the author considers rational policy-making in a national context. Logsdon

describes the major events of the period between Kennedy's election and the 25 May 1961 announcement

of the Apollo goal. He concludes that the Apollo commitment was made only after a lengthy decisionmaking process in which altematives were rationally considered and political consensus reached.

. "An Apollo Perspective." Astronautics & Aeronautics• 17 (December 1979): 112-16. This brief article

analyzes the situation facing the U. S. space program in 1979 in the light of Apollo and concludes that the

base of support for a major national investment in space, such as the one that existed for Apollo in 1961

simply did not exist 18 years later and was unlikely to emerge again for a considerable time in the future.

Logsdon noted that for Kennedy the Moon landing program, conducted in the tense Cold War environment

of the early 1960s, was a strategic decision directed toward advancing the far-flung interests of the United

States in the international arena. It aimed toward recapturing the prestige that the nation had lost as a result

of Soviet successes and U.S. failures. Like most political decisions, at least in the U.S. experience, the

decision to carry out Project Apollo was an effort to deal with an unsatisfactory situation (world perception

of Soviet leadership in space and technology). As such Apollo was a remedial action ministering to a variety

of political and emotional needs floating in the ether of world opinion. According to Logsdon, Apollo

addressed these problems very well and was a worthwhile program if measured only in those terms. In

announcing Project Apollo Kennedy put the world on notice that the U.S. would not take a back seat to its

superpower rival. Logsdon concluded: "By entering the race with such a visible and dramatic commitment,

the United States effectively undercut Soviet space spectaculars without doing much except announcing its

intention to join the contest" (p. 115).

• The Decision to Go to the Moon: Project Apollo and the National Interest. Cambridge, MA: The MIT

Press, 1970. This book describes in detail the political issue of how the United States decided to go to the

Moon in 1961. Logsdon pulls together most of the publicly available data and commentary on the events

surrounding President Kennedy's May 1961 announcement committing the United States to an accelerated

lunar landing program. The author touts the decision to press Project Apollo as the political process at its

Decision

best. Itwas consensus-building and consensus-maintaining, and finally accomplishment ofthe ideal. While

the detailed discussion of how all this took place is exemplary, this conclusion is questionable. The more

interesting question is how could Apollo have been decided and carried out while the political process was

unable to reach agreement and carry out objectives on a broad range of other federal priorities ranging from

urban decay and crime to health care and economic recession?

"The Policy Process and Large-Scale Space Efforts." Space Humanization Series. Institute for the

Social Science Study of Space, 1979. This study reviews the other Apollo and Space Shuttle decisions,

largely rehashing other work by the author, and concludes that large-scale technological endeavors can be

undertaken in the public arena only by winning the support of a wide range of political groups, each

supporting the effort for different reasons.

NASA Office of Program Planning and Evaluation. "The Long Range Plan of the National Aeronautics and

Space Administration," NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC, 16 December 1959. Copy in NASA

Historical Reference Collection, NASA History Office, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC. This initial

ten-year plan for NASA was developed during the agency's first year of operation, and although issued by

NASA headquarters it did not become offical U.S. government policy. Because it contained both target

dates for various accomplishments and budget estimates for the decade, it received a "Secret" security

classification and was later declassified. For the development of Project Apollo, the plan is significant

because it advocated a human flight to the Moon only sometime after 1970.

President's Science Advisory Committee (James R. Killian, Chair). Introduction to Outer Space. Washington,

DC: The White House, 26 March 1958. This short brochure contains the best description of Eisenhower's

"alternative" space program to what had been advocated by those wanting to land on the Moon. While the

report stresses scientific goals in space, it nonetheless is unable to frame an altemative to the romantic public

interest in lunar and planetary exploration.

Rosholt, Robert L. An Administrative History of NASA, 1958-1963. Washington, DC: NASA SP-4101, 1966.

This history contains a detailed discussion of the internal NASA efforts to support the decision-making

process among senior govemment officials that led to Kennedy's lunar landing objective by the end of the

1960s. It presents an interpretation suggesting that while NASA's leaders were generally pleased with the

course Kennedy chose with Apollo---they recognized and mostly agreed with the political reasons for

adopting an aggressive lunar landing program--they wanted to shape it as much as possible to the agency's

particular priorities. It shows that NASA Administrator James E. Webb, well known as a skilled political

operator who could seize an opportunity, organized a short-term effort to accelerate and expand a long-range

NASA master plan for space exploration. A fundamental part of this effort addressed a legitimate concern

that the scientific and technological advancements for which NASA had been created not be eclipsed by the

political necessities of intemational rivalries that led to the Apollo decision.

Sidey, Hugh. "Pioneers in Love with the Frontier." Time. 10 February 1986, pp. 46-47. This thoughtful

discussion of the development of the U.S. space program emphasizes the role of the frontier and the

exploration imperative in the United States. Sidey, an extremely articulate commentator, suggests that

nothing worthwhile is gained without sacrifice. This was a response to the naysayers of the space program

after the January 1986 Challenger accident but emphasizes the 1961 Apollo decision of President Kennedy

as the quintessential statement of a vision favoring exploration of the unknown.

Bilstein, Roger E. Stages to Saturn: A Technological History of the ApolloSaturn Launch Vehicles.

Washington, DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration SP-4206, 1980. This thorough and wellwritten book gives a detailed but highly readable account of the enormously complex process whereby the

Marshall Space Flight Center under the direction of Wemher yon Braun developed the launch vehicles used

in the Apollo program ultimately to send twelve humans to the Moon. Based on exhaustive research and

equipped with extensive bibliographic references, this book comes as close to being a definitive history of

the Saturn rocket program as is ever likely to appear. Moreover, it is not simply a technical history but covers

the decision-making process that lay behind the technological development, making it not just a history of

hardware development but also an analysis of technical management and organization. As one reviewer said

inAir University Review, "This volume is just one of many excellent histories produced by government and

contract historians for the NASA History Office....The book is enhanced by many excellent appendixes and

charts, and it has a thorough essay on sources and documentation....Author Roger Bilstein...gracefully

wends his way through a maze of technical documentation to reveal the important themes of his story; rarely

has such a nuts-and-bolts tale been so gracefully told."

stage "presented unique design challenges," Bilstein shows that although the earlier S-IV and its successor,

the S-IVB "were developed and built by two different contractors," NASA arranged for the information

from the one to be available for the development of the other, helping to ensure the success of the Apollo

mission. This detailed but readable article also shows the debts of both stages to previous designs for space

Science in Moscow in 1971, concludes that the Apollo 8 and Apollo 11 missions fit better into the rubric

of the history of technology than the history of science, with the latter mission representing a"compromise

between scientific and engineering trade-offs" that could hardly satisfy either scientists or engineers.

However, the follow-on Apollo missions after the technology had been demonstrated did yield greater

scientific retums on the technological investment.

History said in 1979, "The authors had access to official documents, letters, and memoranda, and they have

apparently consulted all the relevant historical, technological, and scientific secondary materials...; all the

involved historians obviously spent considerable time studying and intellectually digesting technical

reports and manuals in order to give their lay readers such lucid accounts of highly complex procedures and

operations...; it is important to public knowledge to have professionally trained historians employ historical

methods to explain significant events and place them in a meaningful historical context. Here is a broad

lesson...that contemporary society can ill afford to ignore."

Brooks, Courtney G., Grimwood, James M., and Swenson, Loyd S., Jr. Chariots for Apollo: A History of

Manned Lunar Spacecraft. Washington: NASA SP-4205, 1979. The authors of this book describe it

accurately in their preface (p. xiv) as beginning "with the creation of NASA itself and with the definition

of a manned space flight program to follow Mercury. It ends with Apollo 11, when America attained its goal

of the 1960s, landing the first men on the moon and retuming them to the earth. The focal points of this story

are the spacecraft--the command and service modules and the lunar module." Based on exhaustive

documentary and secondary research as well as 341 interviews, this well-written volume covers the design,

development, testing, evaluation, and operational use of the Apollo spacecraft through July 1969. As such,

it brings the story to its mid-way point, where it is taken up by the Compton book described below.

pp. 33-36; and 20 February 1967, pp. 22-23. Discusses the ways NASA was attempting to maintain its

Apollo landing schedule despite the Apollo 204 accident. Also covers congressional monitoring of the

accident investigation and the inquiry itself. Not a conclusive discussion, since the investigation had not

yet ended as of 20 February, but it gives something of the flavor and immediacy of the situation in NASA

and the country in the wake of the tragedy.

Bergaust, Erik. Murder on Pad 34. New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1968. A highly-critical account of the

investigation of the Apollo 204 accident in January 1967 that killed astronauts Gus Grissom, Roger Chaffee,

and Edward White. Bergaust takes issue with NASA's design approach that allowed for the use of a pure

oxygen atmosphere in the Apollo command module. It is largely ajournalistic rehash of criticism of NASA

coming from Congress and the media, with very little new commentary or analysis and no new factual

information. Bergaust concludes that the human and fiscal sacrifices made in Project Apollo have been in

vain, since the Soviet Union (seen as the reason for Apollo) may not be going to Moon at all.

An Annotated Bibliography of the Apollo Program

Gray, Mike. Angle of Attack: Harrison Storms and the Race to the Moon. New York: W.W. Norton and Co.,

1992. This is a lively journalistic account of the career of Harrison Storms, president of the Aerospace

Division of North American Aviation that built the Apollo capsule. Because of the Apollo 204 fire that killed

three astronauts in January 1967, Storms and North American Aviation got sucked into a controversy over

accountability and responsibility. In the aftermath Storms was removed from responsibility for the project.

The most important aspect of this book is its discussion of the Apollo fire and responsibility for it from the

perspective of industry. It lays the blame at NASA's feet and argues that Storms and North American were

mere scapegoats. It, unfortunately, has no notes and the observations offered cannot be verified.

Kennan, Erlend A., and Harvey, Edmund H., Jr. Mission to the Moon: A Critical Examination of NASA and

the Space Program. New York: William Morrow and Co., 1969. This book features a detailed examination

of the facts of the Apollo 204 fire in January 1967 that killed three astronauts. It does not provide a balanced

account of the lunar landing program or NASA. Instead it is filled with critical asides. For example, the

authors conclude: "The real reasons for the [Apollo] tragedy--were a lack of perspective and flexibility

within NASA management at all key levels; inept, competing, or nonexistent channels of communication

throughout the organization's many facilities; lazy, sloppy, and unduly profit-motivated contractor

performance, myopic Congressional indulgence (often referred to as 'moon-doggling'), irresponsible

public relations--to the point where NASA actually believe its own inflated propaganda; and finally, a

remarkable aloofness from and disdain for the legitimate interests of the taxpaying American public."

Unfortunately, the treatment is long on hyperbole and short on reasoned analysis; the New York Times

reviewer said that the book"adds little that is new on any of the problems or possible solutions....But perhaps

the book's sense of outrage is in itself an adequate reason for the book's existence."

APOLLO 13

"Apollo 13." TRW Space Log. 10 (1970-1971 ): 5-9. In somewhat analogous fashion to previous TRW accounts,

this one details the near-tragic mission on which a short circuit ignited electrical insulation in spacecraft

oxygen tank number 2 of the service module, causing the mission to be aborted and the crew to use the lunar

module for life support through most of the retum to Earth.

Cooper, Henry S. F., Jr. Thirteen: The Flight that Failed. New York: Dial Press, 1973. In this highly

personalized and readable account, Cooper retells the battle for survival of the Apollo 13 astronauts after

malfunction.

"Four Days of Peril Between Earth and Moon: Apollo 13, Ill-Fated Odyssey." Time. 27 April 1970, pp. 14-

18. Describes how, when the command and service module (CSM) carrying the astronauts around the Moon

became crippled as a result of a series of short circuits, the Apollo 13 astronauts boarded the lunar (LM)

module for the life support needed until they could propel the combined CSM-LM into a return trajectory

to Earth. After jettisoning the service module, which was badly damaged, the crew reentered the command

module about an hour before reentry and abandoned the LM lifeboat. Through the teamwork of the crew

and mission control the mission could not be salvaged but the astronauts were able to return safely to Earth.

"The Joyous Triumph of Apollo 13." Life. 24 April 1970, pp. cover, 28-36. 11 color, 6 B&W photos highlight

this early coverage of the near-disaster in space onboard Apollo 13. Includes a profile of the crew and the

anguished families at home.

NASA Office of Public Affairs. Apollo 13: "Houston, We've Got a Problem." Washington, DC: NASA EP76, 1970. This 25-page brochure explores the electrical problems in the service module on Apollo 13 and

the resultant necessity to abandon the mission and devote all attention to returning the three astronauts to

Earth safely. The brochure explains how this was done by using the lunar module, Aquarius, as a lifeboat

and a source of power to propel the lunar and command modules into a trajectory that would return the latter

to the home planet after the astronauts reentered it for the splashdown, jettisoning the damaged service

module and then the lunar module. The procedure worked, and President Nixon later stated, "The three

astronauts did not reach the Moon, but they reached the hearts of millions of people in America and in the

world."

recordings by the authors of meetings and conversations with participants in the preparations for the mission.

Thus, in many ways this is a first-hand account distilling not only the contents of technical documents but

also the contemporary comments and experiences of participants. The book begins with the background to

the mission, going back to the Cold War competition between the United States and the Soviet Union. It

recounts the early proposals for cooperation between the two world powers, especially those in the early and

mid-1960s that reached a temporary dead end. The authors follow this with an account of the discussions

in the early 1970s that led to the actual joint mission. More than a diplomatic history, however, the volume

describes the design, development, and production of "the hardware and systems whereby two spacecraft

from different traditions could be joined together in space" (p. 354 of the book). The authors also relate how

NASA deputy administrator George Low had foreseen that space exploration was too expensive for both

powers to continue duplicative programs forever. At the time the book was written, this was still speculation,

but now it is clear that this book provides an important prologue to the current plans for cooperation in space

by the United States and Russia.

Eugene M. Editor. Science Fiction and Space Futures, Past and Present. San Diego, CA: AAS History

Series, Vol. 5, American Astronautical Society, 1982. Pp. 121-35. In this article the author challenges the

traditional interpretation that science fiction informs the reader about science and propagandizes in favor

of technological progress. Instead, he finds that new schools of science fiction sometimes promulgate

entirely different sets of values based on an anti-technology bias. Even so, Bainbridge documents the close

linkage between science fiction as a promoter of spaceflight and other technological advances. Such a

linkage was present in the Apollo program of the 1960s.

. The Spaceflight Revolution: A Sociological Study. New York: Wiley-Interscience, 1976. Reprint,

Malabar, FL: Robert E. Krieger Publishing Company, 1983. This important but not entirely persuasive

sociological study traces the development of the idea of spaceflight from its science-fictional beginnings

through the rise of mass market magazines and compares it with the actual fact of spaceflight as it emerged

in the 1960s. The author finds that a conspiracy of technological zealots manipulated the U.S. government

to create an organization and fund an aggressive lunar landing program. Bainbridge asserts that "Not the

public will, but private fanaticism drove men to the moon" (p. 1). The book's strength rests on Bainbridge's

. • • • • • " " i analysis of the American and Bntlsh Interplanetary Soclet_es, the smence ficuon subculture, the Comm ttee

of the Future" (1970-1974) of the World Future Society, and the role of"fandom" in promoting spaceflight.

This type of analysis, while useful, is not carefully tied to the development of public policy relating to the

space program. In spite of the argument's other attractions, Bainbridge does not convincingly demonstrate

how the "space boosters" were able to create Project Apollo and to persuade President Kennedy to announce

his lunar decision in 1961.

Bergerac, Cyrano de. Voyage dans la Lune (The Voyage to the Moon). Paris, 1649. This books describes a

fictional trip to the Moon by propulsion from firecrackers. As soldiers lit fuses to the firecrackers, the hero

jumped into a gondola and tier upon tier of explosives ignited like rockets and launched him to the Moon.

Thus Cyrano's hero became the first flyer in fiction to reach the Moon by means of rocket thrust, a

premonition of Newton's third law of gravity about every action having an equal and opposite reaction.

Once on the Moon, the character in this novel had several adventures, and later in the book he also journeyed

to the Sun.

Braun, Wernher yon. "Crossing the Last Frontier." Collier's. 22 March 1952, pp. 24-29, 72-73. Featuring

illustrations by Chesley Bonestell, this was one of several articles written by yon Braun, then technical

director of the Army Ordnance Guided Missiles Development Group at the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville,

AL, to generate enthusiasm in the United States for a spaceflight program that would land humans on the

Moon. This and related efforts were critical in increasing public belief in the possibility of reaching the

Moon, although it took the launching of Sputnik by the Soviets to propel the United States to establish a space

program and the election of John F. Kennedy as president to establish a landing on the Moon within a decade

as the goal of the Apollo program. Here, yon Braun provided details about a space station he envisioned

as "either the greatest force for peace ever devised, or one of the most terrible weapons of war--depending

on who makes and controls it." This evocation of the Cold War was characteristic of the times and proved

a formidable tactic in generating support for U.S. space efforts. While he spoke of the possible use of the

- 47 -

station as a platform for the launching of atomic bombs, however, he also described peaceful, scientific uses

of the station, such as meteorological observations.

Braun, Wemher von. "Man on the Moon: The Joumey." Collier's. 18 October 1952, pp. 52-59. With

illustrations by Chesley Bonestell, this was another of the articles yon Braun wrote to promote the

spaceflight movement. This particular article set forth in understandable terms many of the technological

details yon Braun expected a voyage to the Moon to involve. While some of them proved not to be prophetic,

they were graphic and helPed to grip the imaginations of the American public.

Bush, George. "Remarks by the President at 20th Anniversary of Apollo Moon Landing." National Air and

Space Museum, July 20, 1989. Copy available in NASA Historical Reference Collection, NASA History

Office, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC. At this anniversary celebration, President Bush recalled the

excitement of the Apollo 11 lunar landing and endorsed NASA's long-range plan, the Space Exploration

Initiative, an ambitious effort that would retum Americans to the Moon, establish a lunar base, and, then,

using a NASA-built space station, send human expeditions to the planet Mars. In advancing SEI, Bush

followed the classic script for exercising leadership in space. He made a Kennedy-like announcement,

complete with a strong personal commitment, proposing the initiative during a major address commemorating the twentieth anniversary of the first landing on the Moon delivered from the steps of the National

Air and Space Museum with the Apollo 11 astronauts at his side.

chapters in this influential book laid out a blueprint for the future of space exploration that included a lunar

the continuing race into space in the post-lunar landing era. Drury uses the novel to ask the question, why

do humans need to be in space? He argues the issue back and forth, never giving a definitive answer.

Goddard, Robert H. A Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes. Washington, DC: Smithsonian Miscellaneous

Collections, Volume 71, Number 2, 1919. In this monograph, one of the most important in his career,

Goddard argued from a firm theoretical base that rockets could be used to explore the upper atmosphere.

Moreover, he suggested that with a velocity of 6.95 miles/second, without air resistance, an object could

escape Earth's gravity and head into infinity, or to other celestial bodies. He also suggested launching a

rocket to the Moon with flash powder that would ignite on contact as a means of tracking it. Although

Goddard refused to work with other scientists to develop American rocketry, remaining essentially a lone

inventor, this paper and his example did help inspire others to follow in his footsteps.

Kauffman, James Lee. "Selling Space: The Kennedy Administration, the Media, and Congressional Funding

discussion of the efforts by NASA and the White House to continue ensuring that sufficient public support

was present for Project Apollo so that resources would be allocated to it by Congress. It deals only with the

Kennedy administration, however, and therefore leaves out the most interesting part of this story, the efforts

to keep the project moving forward expeditiously after its newness had wom off and after other priorities

had emerged for which dollars were needed.

Kepler, Johann. Kepler's Somnium: The Dream or Posthumous Work on Lunar Astronomy. Translated by

Edward Rosen. Madison: University of Wisconsin Press, 1967, pp. 17-122. Although technology did not

develop to the extent that actual travel to the Moon could take place, for centuries people posited that it was

theoretically possible and longed for the time when it would happen. When Galileo first broadcast his

findings about the solar system in 1610, he sparked a flood of speculation about lunar flight. Johann Kepler,

himself a pathbreaking astronomer, posthumously published a novel, Somnium (Dream) (1634), that

recounted a dream of a supematural voyage to the Moon in which the visitors encountered serpentine

creatures. He also included much scientific information in the book, speculating on the difficulties of

overcoming the Earth's gravitational field, the nature of the elliptical paths of planets, the problems of

maintaining life in the vacuum of space, and the geographical features of the Moon.

readers that rockets would soon be able to carry humans off the surface of the Earth and to the Moon. This

was one of the earliest books on rocketry for the general American public, serving as a basic reference source

for future science fiction and reality writing.

Ley, Willy. Rockets, Missiles, andMen in Space. New York: Viking Press, 1968. This is the fourth and final

edition of 21 printings of the work first published as Rockets. It emphasizes the possibilities of space flight

as a reality rather than science fiction. Ley came to the U.S. in 1935, and this book became of the most

___. Pioneering the Space Frontier: The Report of the National Commission on Space. New York: Bantam

Books, 1986. In 1984 Congress passed a bill requiring the president to name a National Commission on

Space to develop a future space agenda for the United States. The White House in March 1985 chose Thomas

O. Paine as chairman of the Commission. Since leaving NASA fifteen years earlier, Paine had been a tireless

spokesman for an expansive view of what should be done in space. The fourteen other commissioners were

a diverse group, ranging from Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong and test pilot Chuck Yeager to the U.S.

Ambassador to the United Nations, Jeanne Kirkpatrick. After a year's study the Commission published a

lavishly illustrated, glossy book endorsing "a pioneering mission for 21st-century America"---"to lead the

exploration and development of the space frontier, advancing science, technology, and enterprise, and

building institutions and systems that make accessible vast new resources and support human settlements

beyond Earth orbit, from the highlands of the Moon to the plains of Mars." The report also contained a

"Declaration for Space" that included a rationale for exploring and settling the Solar System and outlined

a long-range space program for the United States.

of the globe, with its attendant discovery of new lands; (2) the traversing and cataloguing of newly-found

continents; and (3) the exploration of the uninhabited regions of Antarctica, the deep ocean basins, and outer

space. The author points to the culturally and historically determined nature of discovery, which has thus

far been largely a Western phenomenon, but emphasizes the qualitatively different character of space

exploration, which takes the Earth, rather than any particular part of it, as its starting point, and which sets

forth to chart regions that are probably abiotic.

Roberts, Christopher B. "NASA and the Loss of Space Policy Leadership." Technology in Society. 12 (1990):

139-55. Since the days of Apollo, NASA's efforts have consistently exceeded the willingness of the political

consensus to provide adequate funding. As a result of the failure of U.S. leadership, including that within

NASA, to fully comprehend the political dimensions of the space program, the U.S. effort has drifted and

the nation lost the commanding role it had with the success of Apollo. In this chapter, the author develops

a new analytical framework for NASA's development and management of the space program, focusing on

the dominance of bureaucratic goals over program goals.

Byerly, Radford, Jr. Editor. Space Policy Reconsidered. Boulder, CO: Westview Press, 1989. Pp. 33-52.

In this article Alex Roland, a leading critic of NASA's human spacefight program, argues that NASA is

wedded to a large and expensive astronaut program, despite budgetary and program realities, because of its

longstanding vision of what the space program should be. Roland asserts that in the post-Challenger era

since 1986 the U.S. is between the first and second stages of spaceflight. In that first stage, the romantic

"bamstorming" stage of rollicking excitement and wasted energies, the focus was on the initial departure

from planet Earth. A centerpiece of that romantic era of spaceflight, marked as it was by a series of specular

events, was Project Apollo and the landing on the Moon. The second stage is undefined, but Roland contends

that it will be different from the earlier era and marked by gradual development and practical application

of space technology.

a useful vehicle for analyzing the evolution of consumer culture in the 1960s. Its social function, its

publicists, and the form of presentation approximated those of the most highly developed communication

medium in American culture: advertizing. In the process the program accomplished its purpose; it

articulated to the world "an image of national purpose [in the U.S.] that equated technological preeminence

with military, ideological, and cultural supremacy" (p. 177).

and science together in a surprising way. He concluded: "One sees elements of both a rational religion,

which can be traced back to the Enlightenment, and an evangelical religion, which has been the nation's

. "A History of Modem Selenogony: Theoretical Origins of the Moon from Capture to Crash 1955-1984."

Space Science Reviews 47 (1988): 211-73. This important article traces the scientific debate about the

origins of the Moon during the first three decades of the Space Age. In the 1950s G.H. Darwin's fission was

still occasionally mentioned but by the 1960s it had been displaced by the hypothesis of lunar capture. A

few scientists favored formation of the Moon from particles in order around a growing Earth. Analysis of

samples from the Apollo missions did not confirm any of these three theories of lunar origin. Eventually

the giant impact theory, proposed by scientists W.K. Hartmann and D.R. Davis (1974) and by A.G.W.

Cameron and W.R. Ward (1975), was adopted as the best working hypothesis. But the question was not

satisfactorily solved and other theories are still being actively pursued.

compares them to earlier ideas, especially those of George Howard Darwin's fission hypothesis. Urey's

espousal of the idea that the Moon had been captured by the Earth and has preserved information about the

earliest history of the Solar System led him to advocate a manned lunar landing program. Results from the

Apollo missions, in particular the deficiency of siderophile elements in the lunar crust, led him to abandon

the capture selenogony and tentatively adopt the fission hypothesis.

43-112. This article describes efforts to find a plausible naturalistic explanation of the origin of the Solar

System. During the period discussed, the first extensive field research was undertaken and this has brought

about the development of several important theories of origins. During this period most scientists accepted

the collapse of a gas-dust cloud to form the Sun with surrounding disk, and condensation of that disk to form

planets. Theorists differed on how to explain the distribution of angular momentum between the Sun and

the planets, on whether planets formed directly by condensation of gaseous protoplanets or by accretion of

solid planetesimals, on whether the "solar nebula" was ever hot and turbulent enough to vaporize and

completely mix its components, and on whether an external cause such as a supernova explosion set in

motion the gas cloud's collapse.

Earth-based data plus characterizations derived from lunar samples brought back on Apollo missions. The

the Moon; that lunar mare lavas seem to have originated at depths of 100 to 500 km.; that mare volcanism

occurred from 3.83 to roughly 2.5 billion years ago; and that a thicker farside crust perhaps is responsible

for the asymmetry between mare deposits on the near and far sides of the Moon.

essentials as a NASA policy had been established, and the agency has followed the general selection process

a cold condensation where low density material condensed first and higher density material like iron later.

This cold origin thesis has been a central part of the debate over Solar System formation.

CHAPTER 8

A $TFIONA UT$

Aldrin, Edwin E. "Buzz," and McConnell, Malcolm. Men from Earth. New York: Bantam Books, 1989. This

useful recent memoir and history by one of the first two humans on the Moon and his co-author, who himself

wrote a book on the Challenger disaster, discusses the Moon race, Aldrin's flight during Gemini as well as

the one to the Moon, and subsequent space efforts by NASA and the Soviets.

Aldrin, Edwin E. "Buzz" with Wayne Warga. Return to Earth. New York: Random House, 1973. As the title

would suggest, this book is more autobiography than account of the trip to the Moon on Apollo 11. It

discusses Aldrin's bouts with alcoholism and depression following his famous voyage to a greater extent

than it covers the Moon landing and his experiences in NASA. Not as well written as his later book, this

one nevertheless reveals a good bit about the character of one astronaut and the perplexities that he and others

faced as they became famous public figures.

"All we didwas Fly to the Moon". By the Astronauts as told to Dick Lattimer. Foreword by James A. Michener.

Alachua, FL: Whispering Eagle Press, 1983. This little picture book contains photos of astronauts, insignia,

and the like plus comments by astronauts. Covers Mercury through Apollo-Soyuz.

"Apollo 8, Astronauts Report on Their Flight Around the Moon." Interavia. 24 (February 1969): 186-90. An

abridged version of a press conference the Apollo 8 astronauts held on 9 January 1969. Includes photos and

diagrams to illustrate the mission.

Armstrong, Neil; Collins, Michael; and Aldrin, Edwin E. Jr. First on the Moon: A Voyage with NeilArmstrong,

Michael Collins and Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr. Written with Gene Farmer and Dora Jane Hamblin. Epilogue by

Arthur C. Clarke. Boston: Little, Brown, 1970. This is the "official" memoir of the Apollo 11 landing

mission to the Moon in 1969. It was prepared by the ghost writers Farmer and Hamblin from information

made available exclusively to them through a somewhat infamous Time-Life/Field Enterprises contract that

excluded the rest of the media from contact with the astronauts' families. Contains much personal

information about the astronauts that is not available elsewhere.

Program. New York: Praeger Pubs., 1985. The authors present a solid overview of the selection of the

NASA astronauts and their development. It presents an overview of the selection of the first ten groups of

NASA astronauts through 1984, then concentrates on covering the watershed selections of 1959, the first

group; 1965, the first scientists that flew on Apollo spacecraft; and 1978, the first Shuttle selection including

women and minorities. Places heavy emphasis on the criteria for selection and the procedures used in

selected astronauts.

Collins, Michael. Carrying the Fire: An Astronaut's Journeys. New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1974.

This is the first candid book about life as an astronaut, written by the member of the Apollo 11 crew that

remained in orbit around the Moon. The author comments on other astronauts, describes the seemingly

endless preparations for flights to the Moon, and assesses the results. He also describes what he thinks of

as the most important perspective that emerged from his flight, a realization of the fragility of the Earth. He

wrote that"from space there is no hint of ruggedness to it; smooth as a billiard ball, it seems delicately poised

on its circular journey around the Sun, and above all it seems fragile .... Is the sea water clean enough to pour

over your head, or is there a glaze of oil on its surface?... Is the riverbank a delight or an obscenity? The

difference between a blue-and-white planet and a black-and-brown one is delicate indeed."

Cooper, Henry S.F. Apollo on the Moon. New York: Dial Press, 1969. In this book Cooper predicts, before

the landing of Apollo 11 astronauts on the Moon in July 1969, what they would encounter. More important,

he follows the preparations for the mission with great skill and recounts them in his personal and scintillating

style. A small work, this book is barely 140 pages and is taken almost verbatim from two of Cooper's New

Yorker articles.

Cox, Donald W. America's Explorers of Space: Including a Special Report on Project Apollo. Maplewood,

NJ: Hammond, 1969. This collection of popular biographical sketches of astronauts and such other

"explorers of space" as Wemher von Braun and William H. Picketing also contains an overview of Project

Apollo.

Cunningham, Walter, with Herskowitz, Mickey. The All-American Boys. New York: Macmillan Co., 1977.

This candid memoir by a former Marine jet jockey with a Ph.D. in physics who became a civilian astronaut

is critical of"the myth of the super-hero astronaut." Aided by Texas newsman Herskowitz, Cunningham

says the astronauts were "all too human" in both their strengths and their weaknesses. Cunningham relates

his flight on Apollo 7, which followed the Apollo 204 fire and became the first successful Earth-orbiting

mission. He also provides valuable insights into "astropolitics," the way the astronaut corps functioned.

E1-Baz, Farouk. Astronaut Observations from the Apollo-Soyuz Mission. Washington, DC: Smithsonian

Institution Press, 1977. This volume consists partly of text, partly of extensive photographs and maps of

the Earth taken by astronauts on their training flights for the mission or taken on board the spacecraft to

support the Earth Observations and Photography Experiment conducted during the mission. Another

portion of the text consists of verbal comments made by American astronauts regarding that experiment.

The remaining 122 pages of text consists of discussions of the scientific objectives of the mission, astronaut

training, flight planning, mission operations, and a summary of the scientific findings of the mission in the

areas of geology, oceanography, hydrology, meteorology, and environmental science.

funerals of the Apollo 204 astronauts; also, 3 B&W photos of the burned capsule and interior.

Frank, Joseph. The Doomed Astronaut. New York: Winthrop Publishers, 1972. This book documents that

flying has been a human obsession since antiquity, and that commentary on it has been notoriously

pessimistic. Then the author argues that continued flights in space by astronauts are doomed to failure. He

uses mythological figures, especially Icarus, to make this case repeatedly in the book, and uses transcripts

from Walter Cronkite's broadcasts of the Apollo 13 near-disaster as modem evidence of his position.

Astronauts

Grissom, Betty, and Still, Henry. Starfall. New York: Thomas Y. Crowell, 1974. This account co-authored

by the wife of Astronaut Vergil I. "Gus" Grissom with a veteran journalist and aerospace executive recounts

the astronaut's career and tragic death in the Apollo 204 fire. The book naturally devotes a good deal of

attention to the fire. Betty's lawsuit against North American Aviation, builder of the command and service

module in which the fire occurred, for the damage to her and her children also forms part of the story,

resulting in her out-of-court settlement for $350,000.

Irwin, James B [enson], with Emerson, William A., Jr. To Rule the Night: The Discovery Voyage of Astronaut

Jim Irwin. Boston: G.K. Hall, 1974. Philadelphia: J.B. Lippincott Co., 1973. This readable autobiography

of an Air Force pilot turned astronaut recounts his astronaut training and trip to the Moon on Apollo 15

together with his other experiences in life to that point. Stronger on impressions than details, this book

nevertheless provides his personal perspective on flying in space.

Kozloski, Lillian D. U.S. Space Gear: Outfitting the Astronaut. Washington, DC: Smithsonian Institution Press,

1994. This extensively illustrated, large-format book follows the history of space suits from flying suits and

the development of the pressure suit through Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab and Apollo-Soyuz, through

the shuttle era, concluding with a chapter entitled "Space Suits in the National Collection." There are 11

appendices, a glossary, reference notes, a select bibliography, and an index. Much more than a coffee-table

decoration, this is a valuable reference source.

Lovell, James A., et al. "The Three Astronauts Tell What Happened Aboard the Crippled Apollo 13." Life, 68

accompanied by the usual number of photos.

MacKinnon, Douglas, and B aldanza, Joseph. Footprints: The 12 Men Who Walked on the Moon Reflect on their

Flights, their Lives and the Future. Washington, DC: Acropolis Books, 1989. An illustrated history, this

book tells in narrative and photographs the story of Project Apollo. It emphasizes the stories of the

astronauts, printing twelve interviews with those who walked on the Moon. Unfortunately, the book fails

on several levels. The authors make no attempt to tie the interviews together, and the astronauts provide no

revealing insights. The lode of astronaut impressions was exhausted long before this book was compiled.

Biddle, Wayne. "Two Faces of Catastrophe." Air andSpace/Smithsonian. 5 (August/September 1990): 46-49.

Discusses the different ways in which NASA handled the Apollo 204 fire in 1967 and the Challenger disaster

in 1986. Biddle concludes that the comparison shows NASA had become more fragile and lost direction

following the Moon landing.

Bilstein, Roger E. Stages to Saturn: A Technological History of the ApolloSaturn Launch Vehicles.

Washington, DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration SP-4206, 1980. This thorough and wellwritten book gives a detailed but highly readable account of the enormously complex process whereby the

Marshall Space Flight Center under the direction of Wernher yon Braun developed the launch vehicles used

in the Apollo program ultimately to send twelve humans to the Moon. Based on exhaustive research and

equipped with extensive bibliographic references, this book comes as close to being a definitive history of

the Saturn rocket program as is ever likely to appear. Moreover, it is not simply a technical history but covers

the decision-making process that lay behind the technological development, making it not just a history of

hardware development but also an analysis of technical management and organization. As one reviewer said

inAir University Review, "This volume is just one of many excellent histories produced by government and

contract historians for the NASA History Office....The book is enhanced by many excellent appendixes and

charts, and it has a thorough essay on sources and documentation....Author Roger Bilstein...gracefully

wends his way through a maze of technical documentation to reveal the important themes of his story; rarely

has such a nuts-and-bolts tale been so gracefully told."

Chapman, Richard L. Project Management in NASA: The System and the Men. Washington, DC: NASA SP324, 1973. Based on almost 150 interviews and contributions by NASA officials, this slight and somewhat

uncritical study does provide a useful look at NASA's project management system that contributed

significantly to the success of the Apollo program. Although far from a definitive treatment, this volume

provides useful information on management within NASA during the Apollo era, even though it does not

focus specifically on Apollo. It covers especially the Office of Space Science and Applications, the Office

of Advanced Research and Technology, and field center organization. Equipped with useful if dated and

selected reference notes and bibliography.

Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1987, pp. 174-203. This lengthy analysis of Webb's

administrative practices fumishes a biographical perspective on the way he managed NASA during the

Apollo years. It discusses his triadic division of labor among the three top managers--himself, his deputy

Hugh L. Dryden, and Associate Administrator Robert C. Seamans, Jr.; Webb's political astuteness; his

struggles with the Air Force; his management during the Apollo 204 fire; and his attempts to "sell" postApollo programs in the post-fire political environment.

Levine, Amold S. Managing NASA in the Apollo Era. Washington, DC: NASA SP-4102, 1982. A narrative

account of NASA from its origins through 1969, this book analyzes key administrative decisions,

contracting, personnel, the budgetary process, headquarters organization, relations with the Department of

Defense, and long-range planning.

Logsdon, John M. "Selecting the Way to the Moon: The Choice of the Lunar Orbital Rendezvous Mode."

Aerospace Historian. 18 (Summer, 1971): 63-70. In this well-written article, Logsdon heralds the landing

on the Moon as "one of the greatest technological accomplishments of western civilization" and points to

the selection of the lunar orbital rendezvous (LOR) as one of the key decisions in successfully carrying out

the Apollo mission. He shows that while few NASA managers were initially convinced of the merits of this

approach, a few individuals within NASA convinced the remaining leaders in the space agency to support

this approach, resulting in "one of the most important choices in the history of technology."

Low, George M. The Apollo Program: A Midstream Appraisal. Washington, DC: Smithsonian Institution

Press, 1966. Edwin A. Link Lecture Series, Smithsonian Publication no. 4693. This 22-page reprint of a

lecture by the deputy director of the Manned Spacecraft Center assesses the Apollo program from a

management perspective at a time when even Gemini was incomplete. He devotes considerable attention

to astronaut training and the problems of flight control. Useful for a sense of where the program was almost

5 years after President Kennedy's proclamation of the intent to land an American on the Moon and more than

three years before the actual landing.

McCurdy, Howard E. Inside NASA: High Technology and Organizational Change in the U.S. Space Program.

Baltimore, MD: Johns Hopkins University Press, New Series in NASA History, 1993. While not devoted

exclusively to the Apollo period, this study of NASA's organizational culture over the course of its entire

history includes coverage of that culture during the Apollo period. Based on archival sources and extensive

interviews, McCurdy covers such topics as the Apollo fire, Apollo 13, the lunar orbit rendezvous,

approaches to contracting, the relationships between NASA's centers and the headquarters, and much else.

He attributes NASA's relative success during the Apollo period to a number of factors including extensive

testing, technical capabilities maintained within the agency, and a willingness to accept risk and failure.

Then he shows how with age, the agency's performance tended to decline. An important and provocative

study with which, naturally, not everyone will agree.

Mueller, George E. "Apollo Actions in Preparation for the Next Manned Flight." Astronautics andA eronautics.

Roberts, Christopher B. "NASA and the Loss of Space Policy Leadership." Technology in Society. 12 (1990):

139-55. As the title suggests, this article discusses NASA's inability since Apollo to obtain adequate

funding for programs it wants to pursue. The author argues that the reason for this failure lie in the

"dominance of bureaucratic goals over program goals." While not specifically focused on Apollo, this

discussion does cover the reasons for its success as background for the succeeding failures.

Roland, Alex. "Bamstorming in Space: The Rise and Fall of the Romantic Era of Spaceflight, 1957-1986." In

Byerly, Radford, Jr. Editor. Space Policy Reconsidered. Boulder, CO: Westview Press, 1989. Pp. 33-52.

This interesting article says little directly about Apollo but argues that its success led NASA to develop a

long-range plan in 1969 that it continued to follow for the next two decades. "Believing that only manned

spaceflight sells before Congress and the public, [NASA, he argues] has never given proper exposure to its

unmanned programs. NASA's truly spectacular achievements in space science, earth resources monitoring,

geodesy, and weather analysis have gone comparatively unnoticed." Roland believes that NASA should

invest its limited budgets since Apollo in less expensive but more productive automated missions instead

of ones carrying humans. Not everyone will agree with this assessment, but it represents one knowledgeable

scholars perception of the effect of Apollo on NASA management.

Seamans, Robert C., Jr. "The National Commitment to Apollo." Astronautics and Aeronautics. 7 (August

1969): 32-48. The former deputy administrator of NASA presents an insider's view of the history of the

Apollo program dating back to the Eisenhower administration and discusses how its architects got the

program started and its managers carded out its goals. He concludes that management needed continually

to monitor the program's elements, formulate altemate plans when difficulties arose, ensure good vertical

communication in both directions, remain flexible, and retain capable, dedicated people for "both making

and executing decisions." Discusses the "Apollo Effect," which inspired national debates on the efficacy

of such an approach to achieving other national goals.

subjects first appeared in Interdisciplinary Science Reviews (London) in late 1977. It discussed the Apollo

program in terms of its "object lesson[s] for the management of large-scale technological endeavors."

Among the lessons the two authors derived from NASA's impressive achievements in the program as well

as its problems such as the Apollo 204 fire were that without support and "a solid use of relevant technology"

no large-scale program could succeed. Also crucial was the need to offer benefits to significant numbers

of people, whether those benefits were tangible or intangible, such as national security or pride. Finally,

Apollo and its successor, Skylab, showed that triumphs in one venture did not necessarily translate into

support for future ventures, as NASA found out when funding shrank in the late 1960s and the 1970s in the

wake of other national commitments.

Stuhlinger, Emst, and Ordway, Frederick I., III. Wernher von Braun: Crusader for Space. Issued in two

separate, unnumbered volumes: An lllustratedMemoir and A BiographicalMemoir. Malabar, FL: Krieger

Publishing Company, 1994. The illustrated volume consists of 132 pages of photographs and plates plus

a biographical sketch and some appendices on von Braun's awards and honors, honorary degrees, lectures,

and selected works. The much longer biographical memoir covers his life, with one chapter on Apollo,

presented from the perspective of the authors, who were both co-workers under yon Braun, Stuhlinger

having worked under the German rocket developer and manager from 1943 to 1970 and Ordway from the

mid- 1950s to the mid- 1960s. Contains a list of references but no specific reference notes, in character with

its billing as a memoir rather than a critical, scholarly study. Provides a number of insights into yon Braun's

inimitable management style.

Tompkins, Phillip K. Organizational Communication Imperatives: Lessons of the Space Program. Los

Angeles: Roxbury Publishing Company, 1993. Although sloppily written in places, this useful study

examines the leadership and management at the Marshall Space Flight Center going back to the Apollo

period. It discusses Wemher yon Braun's authoritarian but effective leadership style and carries the analysis

forward through the Shuttle Challenger accident in 1986 and the changes that followed.

Tumer, Sarah H. "Maxime Faget and the Space Shuttle." NASA Activities. (November/December 1990): 22.

This brief biographical sketch of the designer of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo spacecraft also covers

his involvement in Shuttle design. Not specifically concerned with management matters, this article is

nevertheless useful in providing a context for the understanding of Apollo management decisions.

"Sam Phillips: One who Led us to the Moon." NASA Activities. (May/June 1990): 18-19. This

biographical sketch of the Air Force general from the Minuteman program who became deputy director and

then director of the Apollo program provides more of an overview of his life than an assessment of his

managerial contributions to Apollo, but it does offer some perspectives to use in conjunction with true

management studies.

United States Congress. House Committee on Science and Aeronautics. Apollo Program Management: Staff

Study for the Subcommittee on NASA Oversight of the Committee on Science and Astronautics, U.S. House

of Representatives, Ninety-first Congress, First Session. Washington, DC: Govemment Printing Office,

1969. Less the study indicated in its title than a collection of summaries of presentations made to the

Subcommittee on NASA Oversight by five key NASA contractors and the three principal NASA centers

involved in the Apollo program--the Kennedy Space Center, the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, and

the Marshall Space Flight Center--this is nevertheless a highly useful compilation if hardly a critical one.

It includes appendices containing correspondence with industrial managers and Manned Space Flight

Center directors plus a bibliography of key Apollo documents and program directives. As such, this volume

provides a good deal of insight into the ways in which Apollo program management operated, although

obviously other sources need to be consulted as well.

United States Congress. House Committee on Science and Aeronautics. NASA Lunar Orbit Rendezvous

Decision. Hearing, Eighty-seventh Congress, Second Session, July 12, 1962. Washington, DC: Government Printing Office, 1962. This 11-page committee print contains primarily a briefing by D. Brainerd

Holmes, director of the Office of Manned Space Flight, to Congress on the decision to employ a lunar orbit

rendezvous rather than an Earth orbit rendezvous as the mode for reaching the Moon. Also included are

comments by Clyde Bothmer and Joseph F. Shea plus answers to queries by congressmen.

Management

United States Congress. House Committee on Science and Aeronautics. Pacing Systems oftheApollo Program:

Staff Study for the Subcommittee on NASA Oversight of the Committee on Science and Astronautics, U.S.

House of Representatives. Washington, DC: Government Printing Office, 1965. This committee print

analyzed the lunar excursion module and the command and service modules plus their critical subsystems.

It concluded that NASA management was "employing its resources effectively in" solving problems with

these pacing systems. The analysis itself comprises only 9 pages of the print, the remainder consisting of

testimony by NASA officials under questioning by subcommittee members. Includes 44 figures illustrating

the points made by NASA managers.

Webb, James E. Space Age Management: The Large-Scale Approach. New York: McGraw-Hill, 1969. This

book is an attempt by the second NASA administrator, who presided over the agency during most of the

Apollo era, to distill what he learned from this experience for use in other large-scale efforts. He discusses

such issues as doctrines and practices, the environment in large-scale endeavors, how to safeguard the

democratic process in such efforts, the impact on s_Ciety, leadership as a factor, organizational structure,

and the executive at work.
