New Moon Rising: The Making of America's New Space Vision and the Remaking of NASA
The book is a detailed history of the evolution of the U.S. civil space program from the February 1, 2003 space shuttle Columbia accident to the release of the Presidential Commission report on Moon, Mars, and Beyond on June 2, 2004. During these extraordinary 16 months, nearly every element of NASA’s leadership was placed under a political microscope, with the result that the space agency set upon a new course of reorganization, resulting with President George W. Bush’s announcement of an entirely new space policy for the U.S.
New Moon Rising is accompanied by this DVD-Video featuring hours of footage of some of the historic events detailed within the book.
This collection includes: President Bush's historic "Space Vision" announcement made at NASA Headquarters in January 2004; Vice President Cheney's remarks made to a huge crowd at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena California; NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe's Press conference immediately following the President's announcement; and, the latest in superb animation from NASA, of the Moon-Mars and Beyond initiative, as created by animation experts John Frassanito & Associates.
