Reviews

Fascinating even outside its space context....Sufficiently different and unique to warrant attention....This well-documented book is presented in three parts....Particularly interesting is an excellent 23-page epilogue by G.P. Hastedt....Highly recommended for all readers who want a balanced view of historical developments in the space race and its associated politics. <br>-CHOICE <br> This well-documented book is...highly recommended for all readers who want a balanced view of historical developments in the space race and its associated politics. All levels. <br>-W.E.Howard III of formerly, Universities Space Research Association (Choice) <br>
