The 60s hosted the space race between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R., which occurred in the midst of the Vietnam War, the Cold War, and civil unrest. How did the culture wars of the 1960s relate to the space race? How did the Civil Rights Movement, the New Left, environmentalism, the women’s movement, and the Hippie counterculture influence NASA, and vice versa? With us to answer these questions is Neil Maher, a professor of history at the New Jersey Institute of Technology and Rutgers University.
