EDITORIAL INFORMATION Even after forty years of public and private effort, developing reliable and efficient launch vehicles is still highly problematic. Civil, military, scientific, and commercial interests in space all depend on reliable and efficient technology that, for now, is beyond the reach of American designers. In this book, editors Roger D. Launius and Dennis R. Jenkins bring together the leading names in space and aeronautics to study major launch vehciles of the twentieth century. From David N. Spires to Ray A. Williamson, contributors present case studies in the history of each of the major rockets built by the United States, placing each system in the larger contexts of the history of space flight.
