To Slip the Surly Bonds, NASA, The Shuttle Disasters and the Demise of the U.S. Manned Space Flight Program--enters into the world of NAS and tells the story of not just why the shuttle disasters happened, but exposes NASA's inner workings. NASA has been gutted by various Presidential administration. Congress has also had a field day with budget cuts, devastating the program with porkbarrel projects and confusion regarding the United States and its place in the Space Program. NASA too, has been its own worst enemy due to its static, bureaucratic way of doing internal business. China, North Korea, Japan and other nations are forging their way to the stars while NASA sits on an empty launch pad waiting for the next crumb to be tossed its way. the U.S. Commercial Aerospace sector had some success with reaching the space station with robotic cargo flights, but there is nothing for reaching past the lower earth orbit. To Slip the Surly Bonds explores the intricacies of how and why NASA was created, the Manned Space program , how the shuttle disasters happened and why, and the United States' place in the space frontier along with the loss of our most precious resource, the space program and manned space flight.
