Cowing, Keith L, and Frank Sietzen Jr. New Moon Rising: The Making of America’s New Space Vision and the Remaking of NASA. Seattle, WS: Collectors Guide Publishing Incorporated, 2004. Print.
After it’s much anticipated arrival, Amazon has at long last shipped me my second book, New Moon Rising: The Making of America’s New Space Vision and the Remaking of NASA. This book, in comparison to last, was a great deal more informational. Stuffed to the brim with facts and details, this was also quite a bit easier to read than my previous memoir. Presented in a journal-like manner it was simple to flow from subject to subject and not as long winded as John Glenn’s Memoir.
New Moon Rising: The Making of America's New Space Vision and the Remaking of NASA
I find myself reminded of impromptu-day in class when reading this. Its informational basis reminds me of the articles we had read before our essays concerning school reformities. I find the tone similar; dry but not boring.
Another strong component in the success of this text is the reliability of its authors. Both Sietzen Jr. and Cowing are columnists of multiple aeronautical magazines or websites and they know their facts better than anyone. Not to mention, the DVD supplied with the text is a phenomenal visual resource and supplies a great deal of information backing up the writing. The combination of all of these facts make for an easy, informational, yet fun read.
Still want to work for NASA?
yes, I’m still considering it =]
