"In summer 1969, astronauts landed on the moon and hippie hordes descended on Woodstock--two era-defining events that are not entirely coincidental. Neil M. Maher shows how NASA's celestial aspirations were tethered to terrestrial concerns of the time: the civil rights struggle, the antiwar movement, environmentalism, feminism, and the culture wars."--Provided by publisher.
Introduction: Launching the Sixties -- Spaceship Earth: civil rights and NASA's war on poverty -- Shooting (from) the moon: NASA, nature, and the New Left during the Vietnam War era -- Thinking globally, acting locally: Cape Canaveral and whole earth environmentalism -- Heavenly bodies: "manned spaceflight" and the Women's Movement -- The New Right's stuff: the hippie counterculture and the rise of the conservative crescent -- Conclusion: Grounding the Space Race.
