Ummmmmm… we’ve gone from invading countries to stop he spread of communism to a bunch of creepy 1980’s suits telling generals how to win wars against the proliferation of terrorism, and using the technology from NASA to take pictures and have bombs that level city districts sit in bases in Qatar

Can someone name a book that explains how NASA got out of manned exploration programs and into ant-farms-in-Earth-orbit programs?

The way I see it, it’s been 40 years since we put down the line in the sand (or in the moon dust…,)
And nobody else has come close to crossing it.
Now, if they do, we damn well better be ready to go to Mars….
