"We all know the images of rockets lifting off from Cape Canaveral; we see as if the blockhouses and assembly buildings, the launch control facilities, gantries and massive concrete pads are as they must have always been. Jeffrey S. Nesbit's Ground Control helps us see space architecture otherwise: as a technical land borrowing from imaginative, industrial, and military sources, a complex shaped by architectural modernism but also by science fiction-here we see through Nesbit's book a monument to progress, a bastion of national power, and a symbolic dividing wall between earthly wetlands and outerspace wilderness. A fascinating exploration of the all-too modern spaceport."Peter Galison, Joseph Pellegrino University Professor, Harvard University, USA
