Foreword by Alan Shawn Feinstein. Brian Todd O'Leary (January 27, 1940 – July 28, 2011) was an American scientist, author, and former NASA astronaut. He was part of NASA Astronaut Group 6, a group of scientist-astronauts chosen with the intention of training for the Apollo Applications Program. During his graduate studies at the University of California, Berkeley, O'Leary published several scientific papers on the atmosphere of Mars. O'Leary's Ph.D. thesis in 1967 was on the Martian surface. Upon finishing his Ph.D., O'Leary was chosen for a possible Human mission to Mars that NASA was planning at the time. O'Leary was the only planetary scientist-astronaut in NASA Astronaut Corps during the Apollo program. In April 1968, O'Leary left the astronaut program. Carl Sagan invited him to Cornell University in 1968, where he was a research associate and assistant professor of astronomy. More

Ex-library with usual library markings. Foreword by Ben Bova. Benjamin William Bova (November 8, 1932 – November 29, 2020) was an American writer and editor. He was the author of more than 120 works of science fact and fiction, an editor of Analog Science Fiction and Fact, for which he won a Hugo Award six times, and an editorial director of Omni; he was president of both the National Space Society and the Science Fiction Writers of America. Surveys the U.S. and Russian space programs, examines the problems of space travel, and discusses possible cooperative projects for the future. James Edward Oberg (born November 7, 1944), known as Jim Oberg, is an American space journalist and historian, regarded as an expert on the Russian space program. After service in the United States Air Force, he joined NASA in 1975, where he worked until 1997 at Johnson Space Center on the Space Shuttle program. He worked in the Mission Control Center for several Space Shuttle missions from STS-1 on, specializing in orbital rendezvous techniques. This culminated in planning the orbit for the STS-88 mission, the first International Space Station (ISS) assembly flight. During the 1990s, he was involved in NASA studies of the Soviet space program, with emphasis on safety aspects; these had often been downplayed, and with the advent of the ISS and the Shuttle Mir programs, NASA was keen to study them. He privately published several books on the Soviet (and later Russian) programs, and became one of the few Western specialists on Russian space history. More
