Description
"La NASA está en un punto crítico; después de décadas de supremacíamundial, canceló su programa de transbordadores cerrando su acceso al espacio. Hasta 2020, ningún astronauta será lanzado fuera de la órbita terrestre desde suelo estadounidense, y pronto su programa espacial podría ser eclipsado por el de otros países. Con su característico humor y sus provocadoras ideas, Neil deGrasse Tyson, el célebre presentador del programa Cosmos, ilumina el pasado, el presente y el futuro de la exploración del espacio y nos recuerda de manera brillante por qué la NASA importa más que nunca. Estas crónicas son una lectura provocadora y ágil que representan lo mejor del pensamiento del autor y reflexionan sobre temas tan diversos como la literatura científica y los tropiezos de las misiones espaciales, brindando una visión del futuro necesaria, clara y, sobre todo, inspiradora, "--Amazon.com.
