Hiren Patel 10/13/14 FYOS Review of “The Space Merchants” The Space Merchants was written in 1952 and it was well ahead of its time. You might expect this book, set in "the future", to be hopelessly trite and dated, but it holds up remarkably well. If anything, many of the issues in the book resonate more today than they may have when it was first published. I enjoyed this cynical and satirical science fiction novel. It's about Mitchell Courtenay, a high-ranking ad exec in a futuristic American society dominated by advertising.
The author: Charles Krauthmmer is a political scientist, psychiatrist, journalist, and speech writer. Krauthmmer was the winner of the first 250,000 Bradley Prize, awarded to individuals of extraordinary talent who made contributions of excellence in their field.

Oliver Sacks, a Neurologist, Who is also a professor in neurology has published books on his experience with patients. Oliver Sacks is perhaps best known for his collections of case histories from the far borderlands of neurological experience, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and An Anthropologist on Mars, in which he describes patients struggling to live with conditions ranging from Tourette’s syndrome to autism, parkinsonism, musical hallucination, epilepsy, phantom limb syndrome, schizophrenia, retardation, and Alzheimer’s disease.

He then tries to obtain information on their previous histories in order to make sense of their disabilities from making sure that they actually have a disability, defining the disability, to finding the root of the disability and seeing whether or not he can help them and how. Three specific Cases in An Anthropologist On Mars, are “The Case Of The Colorblind Painter”, “The Last Hippie” and “To see and Not See”.
I did the scientific experiment where I look through the paper towel cylinder and gathered the size of the moon. The moon’s circumference came out to be the same again at 6.83 centimeters. I repeated the same step of measuring the moon with my ruler which provided its circumference. There was a small difference but, this was suspected due to the reality of human error. The circumference came out to be 7.66 which was too extremely off of my previous findings.

This began the history of the Space Race. In order to prove that they are Superior to Soviet Union, the United States worked to gain technology supremacy. To do so, the congress passed the National Defense Education Act, which heavily funded children who were seeking a higher education. However, Soviet Union kept launching successful space missions such as the Sputnik 2 mission and the launchings of the first man in space. The United States tried to out-do Soviet Union’s space missions by landing the very first man on the moon.
