Last week, John M. Logsdon, in his article "The End of the Apollo Era - Finally?" [Commentary, July 5, page 19], was celebrating U.S. President Barack Obama's new space policy. He was pleased that we were, in his-view, finally abandoning an out-dated approach to spaceflight represented by the Apollo program. Has John Logsdon been locked in his ivory tower for the last 40 years? Has he not noticed that the management culture responsible for some of history's most extreme challenges has been steadily eroding for the past 30 years?rnLogsdon indulged in rationalizing for a society that seems less and less capable of measuring up to the motivation, inspiration, challenge, risk acceptance and ac-complishments of Apollo -blaming today's shortcomings on the past.
