Download Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier AudioBook Free
America's space program is at a turning point. After generations of global primacy, NASA is finished the space-shuttle program, slicing off its access to space. No astronauts will be launched in an American art, from American ground, until the 2020s, and NASA may soon find itself eclipsed by other countries' space programs. With his personal wit and thought-provoking insights, Neil deGrasse Tyson - one in our main thinkers on everything space - illuminates days gone by, present, and future of space exploration and brilliantly reminds us why NASA matters now up to ever. As Tyson shows, exploring the space frontier can profoundly enrich many areas of our day to day lives, from education systems and the market to countrywide security and morale. For America to keep up its status as a global innovator and a scientific innovator, he points out, we must gain back our excitement and fascination with what lays beyond the world. Provocative, humorous, and wonderfully listenable, Space Chronicles represents the best of Tyson's recent commentary, including a must-listen prologue on NASA and partisan politics. Reflecting on subject areas that range between technological literacy to space-travel missteps, Tyson offers us an immediate, clear-eyed, and ultimately inspiring vision for future years.
