Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

The format is approximately 8.75 inches by 11.25 inches. xii, 308 pages. The cover along the top edge has some minor damage and staining. The cover otherwise only has minor general wear and tear. This is a large, heavy book and if sent outside of the United States will require additional shipping charges. Wernher von Braun was A pioneering aerospace engineer and space architect. During World War II, he led the development of the V-2 rocket in Germany before coming to the U.S. in 1945. He eventually joined NASA, where he directed the Marshall Space Flight Center and became the chief architect of the massive Saturn V rocket that took humans to the Moon. Frederick I. Ordway III was an American space scientist, author, and professor. Ordway worked directly with von Braun at the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center. Beyond his extensive academic work and book publications, he is famously known as the technical adviser for Stanley Kubrick's classic 1968 sci-fi film 2001: A Space Odyssey. Frederick C. Durant III was an American chemical engineer, naval aviator, and expert in rocketry. Durant was a key figure in the U.S. Project Orbiter team-the foundation for America's first satellite, Explorer 1. He later served as the Assistant Director of Astronautics for the National Air and Space Museum. Dave Dooling was a science writer and research associate for Essex Corporation in Huntsville, Alabama, where he was formerly the science editor for the Huntsville Times. Space Travel: A History - An Update of History of Rocketry & Space Travel is a 1985 hardcover book published by Harper & Row. Written by legendary aerospace pioneer Wernher von Braun, space scholar Frederick I. Ordway III, and historian Frederick C. Durant III, it serves as the definitive update and expanded edition to the original 1966 classic History of Rocketry & Space Travel. The book delivers a comprehensive, sweeping account of human space exploration, blending engineering breakthroughs with historical context. This 1985 update expanded upon the original scope, taking readers from the dawn of space exploration to the operational Space Shuttle era and early space station concepts.
