For a very brief moment during the 1960s, America was moonstruck. Every boy dreamed of being an astronaut; every girl dreamed of marrying one. But despite the best efforts of a generation of scientists, the almost foolhardy heroics of the astronauts, & 35 billion dollars, the moon turned out to be a place of 'magnificent desolation', to use Buzz Aldrin's words
- a sterile rock of no purpose to anyone. In Dark Side of the Moon, Gerard De Groot reveals how NASA cashed in on the Americans' thirst for heroes in an age of discontent & became obsessed with putting men in space. Landing on the moon, it was argued, would be good for the economy, for politics, & for the soul. It could even win the Cold War. Drawing on meticulous archival research, De Groot cuts through the myths constructed by the Eisenhower, Kennedy & Johnson administrations & sustained by NASA ever since & exposes the truth behind one of the most revered fictions of American history.
