This text reveals how NASA cashed in on the Americans' thirst for heroes in an age of discontent and became obsessed with putting men in space. It explains why the American space program has been caught in a state of purposeless wandering ever since Neil Armstrong descended from Apollo 11 and stepped onto the moon.
