……发表那场演讲把尼克松吓得够呛，并在一定程度上影响了他后来关于后续阿波罗任务乃至整个 NASA 的决策。我之前在这里提过这本书，但 John Logsdon 的《After Apollo?: Richard Nixon and the American Space Program》确实是这个题材的绝佳之作。书中提到了这封信，以及那些担忧是如何影响白宫与 NASA 之间的预算争夺战的。
…giving that speech scared the hell out of Nixon and helped shape some of his later decisions on follow-up Apollo missions and NASA in general. I've referenced the book on here before, but John Logsdon's After Apollo?: Richard Nixon and the American Space Program is a great book on the subject. It makes mention of this letter, and how those fears impacted the White House's budget battles with NASA.
……没那么清楚；在 1971 年 12 月航天飞机争论的最后几天，NASA 提出了一种稍小一点、动力较弱的航天飞机作为拟定设计 (169)。我怎么推荐 John Logsdon 的《After Apollo? Richard Nixon and the American Space Program》[0]都不为过。它极具吸引力地展现了即使在阿波罗 11 号之后的亢奋日子里，NASA 所面临的政治局势和挑战。是的，还有那些失误：国防部、NASA……
…is not as clear; in the final days of the shuttle debate in December 1971, NASA put forward a somewhat smaller and less powerful shuttle as its proposed design (169). I cannot recommend John Logsdon's After Apollo? Richard Nixon and the American Space Program[0] enough. It's a fascinating look into the politics and challenges NASA faced even in the heady days after Apollo 11. And, yes, the mistakes: by DOD, NASA,…
……资金问题一直可以追溯到阿波罗计划中期，而在 NASA 试图用一个重大项目替换另一个重大项目时，这一点表现得尤为明显。如果你感兴趣的话，John Logsdon 的《After Apollo? Richard Nixon and the American Space Program》是一本关于 NASA 预算政治的引人入胜——尽管读来让人沮丧——的书。它主要聚焦于阿波罗计划以及向航天飞机（STS）的过渡（并涵盖了一些替代……
…funding all the way back to the middle of the Apollo program and nowhere has that been more apparent than when NASA was trying to replace one major project with another. If you're interested, John Logsdon's After Apollo? Richard Nixon and the American Space Program is a fascinating--albeit depressing--book on the politics of NASA funding. It mainly focuses on Apollo and the transition to STS (and covers some of the alternative…
……它；几十年来，航天飞机可能是除了国旗本身之外最显而易见的美国象征之一了。遗憾的是，人们并没那么乐意为 NASA 买单。即使在阿波罗 11 号之后的亢奋日子里，人们也觉得这笔钱花在其他地方更好：> [尼克松的助理彼得·弗拉尼根]也已经意识到现实，即公众对雄心勃勃的后阿波罗计划……的支持非常有限。
…it; for decades, the Space Shuttle was probably one of the most obviously American symbols besides the flag itself. People, regrettably, aren't quite as fond of paying for NASA. Even in the heady days after Apollo 11, people thought the money could be better spent elsewhere: > [Peter Flannigan, Nixon's assistant] also had become attuned to the reality that there was limited public support for ambitious post-Apollo…
Which part? The bit with Nixon is well known (see, for example, John Logsdon's book "After Apollo?"). As for SLS, it's called the "Senate Launch System" for a reason. Shelby in particular has saved it, to the extent that work on propellant depots was targeted for extermination (no one in NASA is…
……尽管一路荆棘密布，而且面向选举的思维也会影响其任务，但 NASA 从一开始就成功做到了不断推高科学的边界。那真的太特么了不起了。—— Logsdon, John. 《After Apollo? Richard Nixon and the American Space Program》.
…thrown in their way, and how election-oriented thinking can impact its missions, NASA has managed to continue pushing scientific boundaries since the beginning. That's damned impressive. - Logsdon, John. After Apollo? Richard Nixon and the American Space Program.

哪一部分？尼克松那段是众所周知的（例如，参考 John Logsdon 的书《After Apollo?》）。至于 SLS，它被称为“参议院发射系统（Senate Launch System）”是有原因的。特别是 Shelby 一手保住了它，甚至到了连推进剂补给站（propellant depots）的相关工作都被列为清除目标的地步（NASA 内部没人……
