The history of hypersonics teaches that faith in, and unquestioning acceptance of, a hypersonic future is akin to belief in the Second Coming: one knows and trusts that it will occur, but one can't be certain when. That hypersonics is yet again in a period of renewal echoes a familiar theme in the history of hypersonic research and development. As programs have waxed and waned, the field has progressed through various cycles of growing interest and rising optimism followed by cancellation, pessimism, and slow rebuilding of interest. For example, at the time the first two volumes of The Hypersonic Revolution: Case Studies in the History of Hypersonic Technology were published, it appeared that the field was, at last, on the verge of achieving what had been its most long-sought goal: developing hardware--a genuine transatmospheric vehicle, the X-3O, that could take off from the earth under its own power (using air breathing propulsion) fly through the atmosphere into space, and then return through the atmosphere to land, and possible complementary European and Asian vehicles as well.

NOTE; NO FURTHER DISCOUNT ON THIS PRINT PRODUCT-- OVERSTOCK SALE -- Signficantly reduced list price The technologies for the reentry and recovery from space might change over time, but the challenge remains one of the most important and vexing in the rigorous efforts to bring spacecraft and their crews and cargo home successfully. Returning to Earth after a flight into space is a fundamental challenge, and contributions from the NASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate in aerodynamics, thermal protection, guidance and control, stability, propulsion, and landing systems have proven critical to the success of the human space flight and other space programs. Without this base of fundamental and applied research, the capability to fly into space would not exist.
