“This meticulously researched work will inform scholars and engineers interested in the history of technology and innovation and those specializing in the history of spaceflight. . . There is much to praise and little to criticize in these two fine volumes on the history of U.S. rocket technology.”-Quest (Quest 20080201)�It fills what is unquestionably a tremendous gap in the literature of space access . . . does a superb job of tracing the main lines of development of the major rocket technologies. . . This work is a benchmark in the process of the invention of spaceflight and its evolution over time.�–Roger Launius, Smithsonian Institution; Chair, Division of Space History, NASA (Roger Launius, Smithsonian Institution; Chair, Division of Space History, NASA )

In this definitive study, J. D. Hunley traces the program’s development from Goddard’s early rockets (and the German V-2 missile) through the Titan IVA and the Space Shuttle, wit…
