PERSPECTIVES: After Apollo?

Louie Saenz and guest co-host Norma Martinez interview John Logsdon, a world-recognized historian and analyst of space issues.  Logsdon is the author of AFTER APOLLO?: Richard Nixon and the American Space Program.  President John F. Kennedy promised to take us to the moon.  But the Apollo missions to the moon took place under President Nixon's watch.  Why did future Apollo missions and America's space program falter during the Nixon administration?
