Review # 1 was written on 2015-03-17 00:00:00 Robert Beck This is an incredibly useful book in so many ways. It illustrates clearly how during this period of the Cold War how far ahead of the soviet Union we really were. Too many secrets from us at the time. If we had known what our leaders knew from around 1956 to 1962 the entire 1960's and 1970's might have been totally different... Global warming studies and Nasa Earth Sciences grew out of this program, to hint at how thought provoking this book can be beyond its merely military/political implications.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-02-10 00:00:00 Edward Miller Wealth of technical information on the development of satellites and the U2, CORONA and Zenits. Political/historical side receives relatively little attention and there is much overlap in this area between the chapters; more careful editing would have helped internal coherence and balance.
