This is the first volume of a series meant to provide a comprehensive statistical summary of the first decade of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, from its post-Sputnik creation until the Apollo 8 astronauts became the first men to circle the moon. Volume I is designed as a reference source for a variety of purposes. In many ways it offers time-oriented data comparable to a chronology, but from a quantitative perspective. The statistical summary of NASA's first 10 years documents, in a nuts-and-bolts fashion, the immense growth and eventual leveling off of the agency's program. It covers NASA's budget and financial history, its scattered installations, its manpower resources, and a statistical summary of its contractual history. (Author)
