Journal Article
A new arena of international competition is emerging - in space. The New Space Race is quite different from the old one, when super-powers vied to put men or women in space or on the Moon. There are ...many more competitors but also more celestial bodies to conquer. Dozens of countries have plans to reach the Moon in the near future. But some are looking well beyond the Moon, even to Mars. The scramble to reach the red planet is very different, however, from the concurrent race to return to the Moon. It is way more complex and expensive for starters.
Artfully curated by James R. Hansen, A Reluctant Icon:
Letters to Neil Armstrong is a companion volume to Dear
Neil Armstrong: Letters to the First Man from All Mankind ,
collecting hundreds more ...letters Armstrong received after first
stepping on the moon until his death in 2012. Providing context and
commentary, Hansen has assembled the letters by the following
themes: religion and belief; anger, disappointment, and
disillusionment; quacks, conspiracy theorists, and ufologists;
fellow astronauts and the world of flight; the corporate world;
celebrities, stars, and notables; and last messages.
Taken together, both collections provide fascinating insights
into the world of an iconic hero who took that first giant leap
onto lunar soil willingly and thereby stepped into the public eye
with reluctance. Space enthusiasts, historians, and lovers of all
things related to flight will not want to miss this book.
Neil Armstrong was the commander of NASA's first manned lunar mission, Apollo 11, and the first person to set foot on the Moon. Armstrong is briefly profiled.
