From back cover: Rockets, satellites, space capsules and probes--these are the magnificent machines of space travel that are brought to life in this amazing book. The space program, its machines, and history are presented in clear, easy-to-read text that is full of up-to-date minute information and fascinating facts. Children will be held spellbound by Tom LaPadula's spectacularly detailed illustrations that capture the dynamic power of space machines, from "Sputnik", the first machine to break through the Earth's gravity; to the "Apollo" spacecrafts that were designed especially for moon landings; to the incredible Space Shuttle, Hubble telescope, and space stations of the Future.
