Sitting in his cramped space capsule, astronaut John Glenn waited anxiously to blast off. Within minutes John Glenn made history. He was the first man to orbit the Earth. Since then, rocket design has soared to new heights. Superfast Rockets is the story of speed and adventure beyond the Earth's atmosphere. Readers will learn the history of rockets, discover the mechanics of high-powered rocket design, and meet the men and women who are setting new records as they speed into space. Full-color photographs, a labeled diagram, and compelling, real-life stories of astronauts in action are guaranteed to capture students' attention.
