America s space program is at a turning point. After decades of
global primacy, NASA has ended the space-shuttle program, cutting
off its access to space. No astronauts will be launched in an
American craft, from American soil, until the 2020s, and NASA may
soon find itself eclipsed by other countries space programs.
With his signature wit and thought-provoking insights, Neil
deGrasse Tyson one of our foremost thinkers on all things space
illuminates the past, present, and future of space exploration and
brilliantly reminds us why NASA matters now as much as ever. As
Tyson reveals, exploring the space frontier can profoundly enrich
many aspects of our daily lives, from education systems and the
economy to national security and morale. For America to maintain
its status as a global leader and a technological innovator, he
explains, we must regain our enthusiasm and curiosity about what
lies beyond our world.
Provocative, humorous, and wonderfully readable, Space
Chronicles represents the best of Tyson s recent commentary,
including a must-read prologue on NASA and partisan politics.
Reflecting on topics that range from scientific literacy to
space-travel missteps, Tyson gives us an urgent, clear-eyed, and
ultimately inspiring vision for the future."
