    Inhaltsangabe

    On October 4, 1957, a time of Cold War paranoia, the Soviet Union secretly launched the Earth's first artificial moon. No bigger than a basketball, the tiny satellite was powered by a car battery. Yet, for all its simplicity, Sputnik stunned the world.

    Based on extensive research in the US and newly opened archives in the former USSR, Red Moon Rising tells the story of five extraordinary months in the history of technology and the rivalry between two superpowers. It takes us inside the Kremlin and introduces the Soviet engineer Korolev, the charismatic, politically-minded visionary who motivated Khruschev to support what others dismissed as a ridiculous program. Korolev is virtually unknown to most Americans, yet it is because of him that NASA exists, that college loan programs were started in the U.S., and that Kennedy and Johnson became presidents.

    Character driven, suspenseful, and dramatic, Red Moon Rising unveils the politics, people, science, and mindset behind a critical and transformative world event.

    Kritikerstimmen

    "The writing is fast-paced and crisp...Yet even more than his absorbing narrative, Brzezinski's final analysis has staying power." ( Publishers Weekly)

    Not what it says on the package

    This book is well written and the performance is amazing. But it’s not about the Russian space program. 60-70% of the Book is spent in US politics trying to react to Russian space events, without ever telling the story of how the Russian space event ever came to be.

    Here’s an example: the Russian chief of state asks Korolev into his office, telling him he needs a new satellite to impress other communist countries. Korolev says, okay maybe we could, idk, shoot a dog up there? And then literally THE VERY NEXT SCENE is an American general learning that Sputnik 2 is currently overhead, ans then descriptions of how the American public is reacting, and what it means to the American president’s chance of reelection.

    All very interesting details, but I would really have liked to know how Korolev built the damn thing.
