Description
For a very brief moment during the 1960s America was moonstruck. Every boy dreamed of being an astronaut; every girl dreamed of marrying one. But despite the best efforts of a generation of scientists the almost foolhardy heroics of the astronauts and 35 billion dollars the moon turned out to be a place of 'magnificent desolation' to use Buzz Aldrin's words.
In Dark Side of the Moon Gerard DeGroot reveals how NASA cashed in on the Americans' thirst for heroes in an age of discontent and became obsessed with putting a man on the moon in the process limiting what could be acheived in space. Drawing on meticulous archival research DeGroot cuts through the propaganda peddled by the Eisenhower Kennedy and Johnson administrations - not to mention the NASA spin doctors - and exposes the truth behind one of the most revered myths of American history.
