The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration contracted with Conway, historian at its Langley Research Center, to write the history of the agency's attempts to design and build an airliner capable of flying faster than the speed of sound, from the late 1950s until the most recent program was canceled in 1998. He reveals how national politics and business interests interact in high technology. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

High-Speed Dreams: NASA and the Technopolitics of Supersonic Transportation, 1945-1999
A decent book discussing the changes that NASA has gone through since its inception. While there is nothing earth shattering here, you can see why general public support for space has been flagging since the days of the Apollo missions. Being involved in the aerospace industry, I already knew a lot of what was presented here, but for an amateur space enthusiast or anyone interested in why we have actually regressed in our space capabilities, this book gives most of the reasons why.
