AFTER THE LUNAR LANDING Our concern in this volume is the impact upon science, technology and international cooperation of man's emer gence from the "cradle," the biosphere of Earth, to visit the surface of another planet. The editors invited experts in the physical and social sciences who had been think ing, talking and writing about space programs for a long time.
