Lunar Prospector: Against All Odds
by Dr. Alan Binder“Lunar Prospector, Against all Odds” is the Principal Investigator’s highly personal account of the endured triumphs, defeats, dirty politics, and ultimate success over the 13 years it took to accomplish the Lunar Prospector mission.
The Lunar Prospector mission was the only NASA funded space project that was conceived and managed by a scientist rather than a NASA bureaucrat or engineer — a venture initially developed outside NASA that proved when missions are properly conceived and managed, the cost of space exploration can be cut by a factor of 10.
Like the mission, “Lunar Prospector, Against all Odds” answers to the American taxpayer, but this time spotlighting the incompetence and self-serving activities of the NASA bureaucracy and accompanying aerospace industries.
