American astronauts photographed Earth from space in 1968, over seven years after the Soviet Union completed the first manned space flight, and I think it is right on this day, the fiftieth anniversary of that first first manned flight, to look back at the politics that shaped the space missions. The story I tell is of America, but it is of a more fumbling and less secure America than we have seen since.

This is because Hunter, if anyone ever was, must have been the perfect embodiment of cool.

At first you don't see them at all and you stroll on happily unknowing of that which is to come, until you notice the first few ones. High up, perhaps, on one of the canyon walls, or just by you on the path.
