Inhaltsangabe:

Zimmerman is an essayist and the author of Genesis: The Story of Apollo 8 , living in Beltsville, Maryland. He traces the development of the space station programs of Russia and the U.S., the rivalry between the two countries, and ways in which the evolution of their space programs related to broader social changes in each of the two nations. The text draws on Zimmerman's knowledge of space travel and hundreds of interviews he conducted with cosmonauts, astronauts, and scientists. Academic but accessible to the general reader.
