It's been a few years since the original release- I'd say the price.

The updated/amended chapters incorporate Cunningham's views on the
deterioration of the Russian space program as well as the George
Abbey-era at Johnson Space Center.

The new edition includes an update of recent NASA programs, the
Shuttle-Mir and the International Space Station.*It also includes
commentary on the Columbia accident and Cunningham's suggestions on
what it will take to help get NASA back on track.

I'll look forward to hearing what Walt has to say about the Soviet/Russian
space program today. He was very negative about US/Soviet cooperation in
space in his book, worrying that we were giving away the store since
Apollo was so far ahead of Soyuz.

Given that we are no longer enemies with the Russians, I'm curious what
he thinks of the current US/Russian cooperation.

I'm sure he has some excellent ideas on how things could be improved,
and I'm sure he will be quite critical of how things have gone since
his days in the program. In fact, I would almost expect him to be
too critical of the current NASA, though they do perhaps deserve much
of the criticism.
