NASA in an Age of Austerity : Between Apollo and Shuttle

Join us for the next Astronomy on Tap – Rocket City on Tuesday, November 17th at 6 PM at InnerSpace Brewing Company! 🍻
Speakers: Dr. Brian C. Odom, NASA Chief Historian, and Dr. Stephen Waring, Professor of History at UAH.
Abstract: By the late 1960s, NASA faced declining budgets and shifting national priorities, forcing the agency to reassess its ambitions and programs. Despite the planetary science achievements of the 1970s, the decade brought institutional restructuring, reduced programs, and the transition from Apollo to the Space Shuttle. Choices made during this period by administrations and agency leadership continue to shape NASA’s priorities, capabilities, and institutional culture today.
