Setting the tone for the collection,NASA chief historian Roger D. Launius and Howard McCurdy maintain thatthe nation's presidency had become imperial by the mid-1970s and thatsupporters of the space program had grown to find relief in such a presidency,which they believed could help them obtain greater political support andfunding. Subsequent chapters explore the roles and political leadership,vis--vis government policy, of presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy,Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Reagan.
