Get the facts and learn the history of space exploration to prepare for the 2011-2012 UIL CX Debate competition. This heavily-researched publication, first published in 2010, was reviewed by Gerry Griffin (NASA) and is highly recommended for anyone interested in learning background information related to this year's annual UIL Debate topic related to space exploration. A solid comprehension of United States' past to present day role in space can lay the foundation for students to gain the confidence and knowledge that results in a convincing argument. This publication is also recommended for instructors and students who are in search of reliable sources for conducting research. 

The Final Frontier: U.S. Space Exploration includes: a timeline of 'firsts' in space, a timeline of world events from 1920-2011 (for comparison), summaries of significant American speeches related to space, biographies of American astronauts, an index of terms, and more.

Please note:  If you have previously purchased Hexco's 2010 High School Social Studies Notes, please note that much of the same information is included, however only historical and current data is included in this 2011-2012 revised edition.
