Description
In this account of lost dreams, new hopes, and the ongoing conquest of space, journalist Duggins of National Public Radio chronicles the planning stages of the Space Shuttle program in the early 1970s, the thrills of the first flight in 1981, construction of the International Space Station in the 1990s, and the decision in the early 2000s to shut it down.
