In March 2005; the NASA History Division and the Division of Space History at the National Air and Space Museum brought together a distinguished group of scholars to consider the state of the discipline of space history. This volume is a collection of essays based on those deliberations. The meeting took place at a time of extraordinary transformation for NASA; stemming from the new Vision of Space Exploration announced by President George W. Bush in January 204: to go to the Moon; Mars; and beyond. This Vision; in turn; stemmed from a deep reevaluation of NASA’s goals in the wake of the Space Shuttle Columbia accident and the recommendations of the Columbia Accident Investigation Board. The new goals were seen as initiating a “New Age of Exploration†and were placed in the context of the importance of exploration and discovery to the American experiences.

The translation of Huineng's Sutra is quite interesting; mostly because it's done by a Chinese Native.
