SPI student Adam Stegall was published in the peer-reviewed journal, Quest: The History of Spaceflight Quarterly, and received an honorable mention for the Sacknoff Prize for Space History.
His paper, “Kennedy’s Hidden Stimulus: The Experimental Economics of the Decision to Go to the Moon”, presents original research that reveals a previously unknown economic dimension of President Kennedy’s deliberations, and a quiet experimental $10 billion federal stimulus program that has gone unnoticed for nearly 65 years. The paper shines new light on the role of the administration’s Council of Economic Advisors, and adds depth to our understanding of one of the most consequential decisions in space history. The paper may be read in full here, and SPI sends thanks to Quest: The History of Spaceflight Quarterly for providing it to our readers.
Congratulations Adam!
The event will be held at 25th February 2025 (Tue) 9:30-13:00 = Japan Standard Time
