Faster, Better, Cheaper

Over the last decade the history of spaceflight has matured as a discipline, moving from traditional project and participant histories into broader studies and analyses. Howard McCurdy's Faster, Better, Cheaper is a fine example of the new scholarship, addressing an important organizational initiative within the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Promoted by Dan Goldin, NASA's longest-tenured administrator, the FBC initiative, after which McCurdy's book is titled, was intended to reverse the trend of complex, expensive missions that had dominated NASA's planetary exploration since at least the 1970s
