Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The narrative centers on the late 1950s challenges faced by NACA and the Department of Defense in developing effective heat shields for spacecraft and ICBMs. Key figures include Dr. Nininger, who highlighted the advantages of blunt, pitted meteors, and inventor Everett Young, who proposed a novel heat shield design featuring a unique cellular structure. Despite his pivotal contributions, Young's recognition was overshadowed by NASA's adoption of his concepts without proper acknowledgment, leading to significant hardships for his family.
