The gift of Apollo : draft essay
Summary
A draft essay commemorating the Apollo missions. Written for Parade magazine, a version of this piece reappears as a section in Sagan's book Pale blue dot : a vision of the human future in space. The essay mixes Sagan's optimism in the progressive potential of technology, as evident in the Apollo missions, with the threat that technologies, like the atomic bomb, present to the long term prospects of humanity.
