摘要

In his brief tenure at NASA Thomas O. Paine, NASA's third administrator, got to experience the highest moments in America's first quest to go beyond Earth orbit, but in short order was consumed by the the realities of Washington budget politics. From January 1968 to September 1970, Paine was successively deputy administrator, acting administrator and administrator of NASA. It was a rollercoaster ride that would take him from a time when NASA was recovering from the tragedy of the Apollo fire to the triumph of the first Apollo landings on the Moon to the jubilation of bringing the Apollo 13 crew safely home. Space science was breaking new ground, as Earth orbiting telescopes began peering into the universe and opening new fields of astronomy, and other spacecraft returned data about the Earth, the sun and the interactions between the two. The first tantalizing glimpses of other planets using early robotic spacecraft were leading to the development of their much more capable successors, including the Viking program to land spacecraft on the surface of Mars. NASA's investments in developing technology for weather and communications satellites were making those space applications a reality.

Paine经历了美国首次超越地球轨道的最艰难时刻，但不久之后，华盛顿预算政治的现实就将其吞噬了。从1968年1月到1970年9月，潘恩先后担任NASA副局长，代理局长和管理员。从NASA从阿波罗大火的悲剧中恢复到月球第一次阿波罗登月的胜利到使阿波罗13号机组人员安全返回家园之际，这是一次过山车之旅。随着绕地球轨道运行的望远镜开始窥视宇宙并开辟新的天文学领域，太空科学正在开辟新天地，其他航天器还返回了有关地球，太阳以及两者之间相互作用的数据。使用早期的机器人太空船对其他行星的首次诱人的瞥见正导致他们能力更强的后继者的发展，包括将太空船降落在火星表面的维京计划。 NASA在开发气象和通信卫星技术方面的投资使这些太空应用成为现实。
