Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2013. 1st edition. As New. octavo. dust jacket xxiv + 427pp., b/w plates, sources, index, HumanityÕs first reusable spacecraft and the most complex machine ever built, NASAÕs Space Shuttle debuted with great promise and as a dependable source of wonder and national pride. But with the Challenger catastrophe in 1986, the whole Space Shuttle program came into question, as did NASA itself, so long an institution that was seemingly above reproach. Wheels Stop tells the stirring story of how, after the Challenger disaster, the Space Shuttle not only recovered but went on to perform its greatest missions.
