This book is the highly personal account of the triumphs, defeats, dirty politics and ultimate success that the author endured and enjoyed during the 13 years that it took him to accomplish the Lunar Prospector Mission. Like the mission, the bookas purpose is to expose to the America taxpayer the incompetence and self-serving activities of the NASA bureaucracy and the big aerospace companies, which together waste a large fraction of the $13 billion NASA receives from the federal government yearly, and to show that when missions are properly conceived and managed as a commercial venture, the cost of space exploration can be cut by a factor of 10. This book is meant to have a major impact on the future of the faltering American space program by helping to change it into an efficient, commercially based/profit driven program instead of a federal government handout program for the big aerospace companies. This is a 2-Volume Set. Books cannot be purchased separately. Volume One: ISBN 1-4137-0988-5, 673 pages. Volume Two: ISBN 1-4137-2479-5, 668 pages
