This book looks at the inside deliberations that led to President
George W Bush's space exploration initiative. The author team has
been granted unprecedented access to senior policy makers as the
plan was assembled during 2003 and 2004. Sietzen and Cowing will
give exclusive details on the meetings between President George
Bush, Vice President Richard Cheney, and senior members of the
White House staff as the planning process began. In addition
Sietzen and Cowing will examine how policy was translated from
paper into hardware designs including the first outline of the
plan's new space vehicle and how the inspiration behind the
architecture once used in the Apollo program was summoned back to
guide 21st century space planners. Sietzen and Cowing will describe
how the Columbia accident and the political outcry for a new
central goal for the US space program gave rise to what would
become the most far reaching change in US space policy in a
generation. Readers will have the most comprehensive look available
on what this new space vision will do for human exploration of the
Solar System - and how nearly everything NASA does will change as a
result.;New Moon Rising: The Making of America's Space Vision and
the Remaking of NASA, by Frank Sietzen, Jr. and Keith L. Cowing, to
be published July 2004. The team broke the story on the space plan
in the pages of the Washington Times and in the United Press
International wire service. Portions of the book were serialised in
the Times in a multi-part background article called "Why Some Said
the Moon: The Exclusive Inside Story of the Bush Space Vision"
published in January 2004.
