The Penguin Book of Outer Space Exploration: NASA and the Incredible Story of Human Spaceflight

0/5 ( ratings)

The fascinating story of how NASA sent humans to explore outer space, told through a treasure trove of documents from the NASA archives

Among all the technological accomplishments of the last century, none has captured our imagination more deeply than the movement of humans into outer space. From Sputnik to SpaceX, the story of that journey is told as never before in The Penguin Book of Outer Space Exploration.

Beginning with rocket genius Wernher von Braun's vision for voyaging to Mars and closing with Elon Musk's contemporary plan to get there, this volume traces major events like the founding of NASA, the first American astronauts in space, the moon landings, the Challenger disaster, the daring Hubble Telescope repairs and more.
