Ein historischer Blick auf das Raumfahrtzeitalter, das die Entwicklung und die Zukunft US-amerikanischer, sowjetrussischer und europäischer Programme verfolgt - in nüchterner Weise, ohne Astronauten oder Technologie zu glorifizieren. Heppenheimer stellt die Raumfahrt in einen politisch-sozialen Kontext und erklärt, warum sich die beiden Großmächte auf einen teuren, politisch brisanten Wettlauf in den Weltraum einließen und warum die Ergebnisse trotz immensen Kapitaleinsatzes bis heute unbefriedigend bleiben.
