  Reaching the Moon: The History...

  The Apollo Program is the most famous and celebrated in American history, but the first successful landing of men on the Moon during Apollo 11 had complicated roots dating back over a decade, and it also involved one of NASA’s most infamous tragedies. From 1959-1963, the United States worked toward putting satellites and humans into orbit via the Mercury program, but Eisenhower’s administration was already designing plans for the Apollo program by 1960, a year before the first Russian orbited the Earth and two years before John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth. 
  At the same time, America would begin missions to the Moon as early as 1958. On March 27, 1958, Secretary of Defense Neil McElroy announced a lunar project for the International Geophysical Year, consisting of three Air Force launches followed by two Army launches of a JPL-designed lunar probe. ARPA directed the Air Force to launch its probes "as soon as possible consistent with the requirement that a minimal amount of useful data concerning the Moon be obtained." 
  Throughout the 1960s, NASA would spend tens of billions on missions to the Moon, the most expensive peacetime program in American history to that point, and Apollo was only made possible by the tests conducted through earlier missions, including the historic Ranger Program. Conceived as an early part of the attempt to land a man on the Moon, Ranger was designed to photograph the lunar surface in preparation for future landings. Until Ranger, images of the Moon were only available through Earth-based telescopes, which lacked the detail necessary to determine safe sites for landing a spacecraft. Ranger aimed to fill in that gap of knowledge, and like many of NASA’s missions during the 1960s, the program exemplified both the successes and the failures of the agency’s early years.

  This book is the best recipe for becoming an expert on information security. If you aspire to be a security expert by taking the CISSP exam, there is no shortage of books that claim to be the ultimate solution to information security. They dupe students into thinking that they are the only books on the market for this specific subject. 
  Well, they may be dubbed as the ultimate but are they the most reader-friendly books for this dry subject? Will there be any juice to be consumed by the reader and fiber to digest? Are those books written easy to under language? If those book authors have crammed their work with technical jargon, I must plead with you to avoid this confusion. 
  What makes this book different from the other books on the market is the fact that it is written in a lucid and coherent form. You will find all the topics well-connected and written in easy and simple language. The book contains the following topics: 
  •Security Principles 
  •Security Threats and Countermeasures 
  •Business Continuity Planning 
  •Incident Response Planning 
  •Security Models and Controls 
  •Secure Communications 
  •And lots more!
