520 "During the summer of 1969-the summer Americans first
walked on the moon-musician and poet Patti Smith recalled
strolling down the Coney Island Boardwalk to a refreshment
stand, where "pictures of Jesus, President Kennedy, and
the astronauts were taped to the wall behind the
register." Such was the zeitgeist in the year of the moon.
Yet this holy trinity of 1960s America would quickly fall
apart. Although Jesus and John F. Kennedy remained iconic,
by the time the Apollo Program came to a premature end
just three years later few Americans mourned its passing.
Why did support for the space program decrease so sharply
by the early 1970s? Rooted in profound scientific and
technological leaps, rational technocratic management, and
an ambitious view of the universe as a realm susceptible
to human mastery, the Apollo moon landings were the
grandest manifestation of postwar American progress and
seemed to prove that the United States could accomplish
anything to which it committed its energies and resources.
To the great dismay of its many proponents, however, NASA
found the ground shifting beneath its feet as a fierce
wave of anti-rationalism arose throughout American society,
fostering a cultural environment in which growing numbers
of Americans began to contest rather than embrace the
rationalist values and vision of progress that Apollo
embodied. Shifting the conversation of Apollo from its
Cold War origins to larger trends in American culture and
society, and probing an eclectic mix of voices from the
era, including intellectuals, religious leaders, rock
musicians, politicians, and a variety of everyday
Americans, Matthew Tribbe paints an electrifying portrait
of a nation in the midst of questioning the very values
that had guided it through the postwar years as it began
to develop new conceptions of progress that had little to
do with blasting ever more men to the moon. No Requiem for
the Space Age offers a narrative of the 1960s and 1970s
unlike any told before, with the story of Apollo as the
story of America itself in a time of dramatic cultural
change"--|cProvided by publisher.
