Robert E. Huffman, Ph.D. Adventures of a Star Warrior Cold War Rocket Science on the Space Frontier |
|||
Adventures of a Star Warrior is Dr. Robert E. Huffman's fast-paced and inspiring space science memoir. Chronicling a career that spanned Sputnik to the Space Shuttle and Star Wars, Bob Huffman tells of his unique odyssey from the laboratory to the launch pad. Loaded with history, humor, and human drama, here are back room deals at the Pentagon, liftoffs that don't lift off (as well as many that do), and high-altitude heroics on the Space Shuttle. Along for the ride are an unlikely collection of scientists, astronauts, soldiers, and bureaucrats who somehow made possible the exploration of Earth's atmosphere.
