A classic study of the development of the Saturn launch vehicle
that took Americans to the moon in the 1960s and 1970s, Stages to
Saturn is one of the finest official histories ever produced. The
Saturn rocket was developed as a means of accomplishing President
John F. Kennedy's goal for the United States to reach the moon
before the end of the decade. Without the Saturn V rocket, with its
capability of sending as payload the Apollo Command and Lunar
Modules--along with support equipment and three astronauts--more
than a quarter of a million miles from earth, Kennedy's goal would
have been unrealizable. Stages to Saturn not only tells the
important story of the research and development of the Saturn
rockets and the people who designed them but also recounts the
stirring exploits of their operations, from orbital missions around
earth testing Apollo equipment to their journeys to the moon and
back. Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the
development of space flight in America and the course of modern
technology, this reprint edition includes a new preface by the
author providing a 21st-century perspective on the historic
importance of the Saturn project.
