"A beautifully illustrated history of the exploration of space through the most iconic objects from the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. Throughout the whole of human history, across all of Earth's cultures and landscapes, countless individuals have gazed with wonder in the same direction: upwards. Getting to space was no easy task, and our curiosity with the surrounding universe has long been a source of earthly pride and competition. At the bottom of this international technological rivalry, though, lies one unifying purpose, which is to understand the impossibly vast heavens. In Milestones of Space, Michael Neufeld and select curators of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum present a gorgeous photographic celebration of some of the most groundbreaking artifacts that played key parts in giving humanity its first steps into the cosmos. Focusing on the most iconic objects and technology--such as Friendship 7,the Lunar Module 2, Neil Armstrong's Lunar Suit, the Hubble Space Telescope, and Space Shuttle Discovery--this book extensively profiles eleven of the NASM's most important breakthroughs in space technology. The NASM curators feature each object in incredible detail with compelling timelines, sidebars and captions, and over 150 archival images that provide new and little-known insights into their development and historical context. We are still a long way from grasping our universe. but for now, Milestones of Space magnificently commemorates the individuals and inventions that have taken us this fa"

"Peluncuran satelit Sputnik I oleh Uni Soviet memicu terjadinya kompetisi kegiatan eksplorasi antariksa. Amerika Serikat secara ambisius menjalankan program Apollo guna meraih keunggulan strategis di antariksa melalui misi pendaratan manusia pertama di bulan. Namun, Amerika Serikat mengambil keputusan untuk meninggalkan keunggulan strategis yang dimilikinya dari keberhasilan program Apollo di saat kompetisi eksplorasi antariksa tengah berlangsung. Fokus penelitian ini adalah mengetahui hal-hal yang melatarbelakangi penghentian program Apollo oleh Amerika Serikat. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mendapatkan eksplanasi dari pertimbangan keputusan Amerika Serikat menghentikan program Apollo. Penelitian ini dilakukan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan melalui penggunaan data primer dan sekunder. Analisis akan didasarkan pada aplikasi teori rational actor model oleh Graham Allison, yakni pengambilan keputusan mengacu pada empat hal: (1) tujuan dan objektif; (2) opsi; (3) konsekuensi; dan (4) pilihan rasional. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat lebih banyak keuntungan bagi Amerika Serikat jika menghentikan program Apollo. Keunggulan strategis Amerika Serikat tetap dipertahankan melalui dominasinya dalam berbagai kegiatan eksplorasi antariksa baru. Sehingga, menjadi suatu keputusan yang rasional bagi Amerika Serikat untuk menghentikan program Apollo berdasarkan setelah mempertimbangkan tujuan dan konsekuensi yang didapat.

The launch of the Sputnik I satellite by the Soviet Union triggered competition for space exploration. The United States ambitiously pursued the Apollo program to gain a strategic advantage in space through the first human landing mission on the moon. However, the United States decided to abandon its strategic advantage from the triumph of the Apollo program when the space race was happening. The focus of this research is to understand the reasons behind the termination of the Apollo program by the United States. The purpose of this research is to get an explanation of the consideration of the United States' decision to terminate the Apollo program. This research uses a qualitative approach through the use of primary and secondary data. The analysis will be based on the application of the rational actor model theory by Graham Allison, which stated that decision-making refers to four things: (1) goals and objectives; (2) options; (3) consequences; and (4) rational choice. This research shows that there is much more beneficial for the United States if the Apollo program is terminated. The strategic advantage of the United States is maintained through its dominance in various new space exploration activities. Thus, it became a rational decision for the United States to terminate the Apollo program considering its objectives and consequences."
