Title: Spaceship Handbook review of space projects
Product review: For someone that experieced and worked in Aerospace this handbook gives a very good account of the many space projects. Especially near and dear to me was the M.O.L.E. or the big pin wheel space station that was to be built by the Air Force. We were actually building hardware for it in the late 60s but it died because it was costing too much money and Viet Nam was costing too much. Johnson wanted his great society more than he wanted the M.O.L.E. This handbook also point the way to a forgone conclusion that we need to go to Nuclear propulsion and eventually to matter-antimatter power. I feel this is a very good and noble position in the face of the modern American aversion to anything labeled "nuclear". Overall this handbook gives us a good summary of many launch and missile systems, its' only omission possibly being the lack of some of the Military missiles, ie: Redstone, Trident, Minuteman, Atlas, etc.
