Nations and corporations have placed hundreds of satellites that provide billions of dollars' worth of communications, scientific, global positioning, and commercial services, while construction has been completed on humanity's ninth and largest space station. On the planet itself, government agencies, corporations, and individuals plan for the expansion of economic development to the lunar surface, asteroids, and Mars. The future of space exploration seems likely to include a mix of large government funded missions as well as independent private- sector missions. 'The Long Space Age' examines the economic history of American space exploration and spaceflight, from early astronomical observatories to the International Space Station, and argues that the contemporary rise of private-sector efforts is the re- emergence of a long-run trend not a new phenomenon. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 610 10 United States.|bNational Aeronautics and Space Administration|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n78087581|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005024 610 17 United States.|bNational Aeronautics and Space Administration.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/528469 647 7 Cold War|d(1945-1989)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1754978 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 Manned space flight|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85080584|xEconomic aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh99005484 650 0 Astronautics|zUnited States|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2007101539 650 0 Astronautics and civilization.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85008971 650 0 Space tourism.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2001010959 650 0 Cold War|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh88005637|xEconomic aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005484|zUnited States.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78095330-781 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Manned space flight.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1007789 650 7 Astronautics.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/819505 650 7 Astronautics and civilization.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/819574 650 7 Space tourism.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1127939 651 0 United States|xHistory|y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85140291 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aMacDonald, Alexander C.|tLong space age. |dNew Haven : Yale University Press, [2017]|z9780300219326 |w(DLC) 2016952701|w(OCoLC)959034443 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1494427|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
