Space History Course
MattWriter
American Military University, an accredited online institution
(www.amunet.edu), is offering a Masters in Space Studies beginning this fall.
I am the instructor for SP572, History of Space. Registration is open now:
First week of class is 5 November. Covering the entire topic in 15 weeks is
quite a challenge, but we'll be taking our best shot at giving an overview. I
hope to persuade them later to add more in-depth history courses on specific
topics, since it would be easy to do a semester on Sputnik or Apollo alone.
Sincerely,
Matt Bille

...Can you post a syllabus? Heh, I can just see it now - someone using
xganon to allow us all to audit the course for free :-) :-)

Sorry. I just checked it. AMU is having "technical difficulties" and the
amunet.edu site may not be up till Monday. Great timing, since today is when
all the course guides (aka syllabi) are required to be posted, and enrollment
for the next semester has been opened. I'm sure someone is standing over the
IT guys wikth the usual whip.
The course guide for SP572 is a bit long to post here, but I'll be happy to
Email to anyone who asks.

Or they're standing over the hamster with a whip...

Fascinating, .....but would that be
1. the history of man in space,
2. the history of astronomy,
3. the history of the universe, or
4. genuinely the history of the vaccuum between the matter in the universe?
Sorry to sound pedantic, but "History of Space" is meaningless to me.

Good point. The university assigned the title. I would have called it
"History of Space Exploration," or something else a little more focused. It is
the history of human (crewed and uncrewed) spaceflight.
