In September 1969 several months after the Apollo 11 lunar landing President Richard M. Nixon established the Space Task Force to chart NASA's path for the decades to come. This imaginative vision was shattered less than six months later when on January 13 1970 NASA Administrator Dr. Thomas Paine announced that owing to funding cuts only the reusable Space Shuttle could be afforded -- there would be no space station no return to the Moon and no missions to Mars. This is a story never before told about the missions and technologies that NASA had begun to plan but never fully realized. The book is a companion to the author's previous two works on the Space Shuttle. Whereas the first two books showed how the Space Shuttle flew in space and what the program accomplished this book explains what more the Space Shuttle could have achieved and how the space transportation system could have further matured if circumstances had been otherwise. A final chapter also discusses howsome of these plans might be resurrected in future programs.
