The books are sequential and form an integrated whole: The Dawn of the Space Age Avoiding Armageddon In Space To Stay The Never-Ending Frontier The Dawn of the Space Age begins with exciting tales of the earliest developers of rudimentary rockets and the deadly battles they fought in China between 228 and 1600 A.D. A historical fiction approach brings longago characters and event...
Beyond the Saga of Rocket Science
In Space to Stay, the third book in the spell–binding The Saga of Rocket Science series, gives a thorough exposé of the U.S. Apollo and Space Shuttle programs. You will be there as Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee perish and get incinerated inside their locked Apollo 1 capsule; when Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise didn’t know if they would make it back alive aboard a freezing lunar module on Apollo 13; as Neil and Buzz experienced the euphoria of being the first humans to land on the Moon, while Mike Collins in lunar orbit and an anxious world looked on. You’ll see the same panoramic vistas of the lunar landscape and the beautiful blue marble we call Earth as the astronauts saw. You are taken inside the Challenger Space Shuttle as it caught fire and disintegrated in flight. What seven brave astronauts felt like as they plunged to their deaths in a basically intact crew cockpit. You’ll understand exactly what failed and how it failed on both the Challenger and the ill–fated Columbia space shuttles, and why another seven astronauts aboard the Columbia felt no pain despite their grisly annihilation during reentry.
Beyond the Saga of Rocket Science: the Never-Ending Frontier
This book culminates the Beyond the Saga of Rocket Science series by taking you on a journey from the present to the future. The Soviet Union steadily matured its Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs), Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missiles (SLBMs), civilian launch vehicles, and tactical missiles across a broad front to reach approximate parity with the United States, only to see it all crumble with the Soviet empire's collapse in late 1991. The book explains how Russia resurrected its space programs and maintains a respectable presence in space today.In 1983 President Ronald Reagan inaugurated a large Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) program called the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI)...
Beyond the Saga of Rocket Science
Avoiding Armageddon provides a detailed and fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the Cold War conflict between the American and Soviet superpowers. It lucidly describes the effects of nuclear weapons and how they work. The Soviets achieved a startling number of space firsts (first satellite, first man and woman to orbit the Earth, first probes to reach Mars and Venus, first Space Station, more powerful ICBMs. The USSR assumed a commanding lead in the Space Race between both countries; however, the book describes how and why despite appearances it was actually the United States that was ahead. Avoiding Armageddon disentangles and clearly explains the labyrinthine Soviet organizational and design bureau structure. Although the U.S. won the Moon Race, the Soviets came very close with their own Moon rocket, the N1.

Ignition!
This newly reissued debut book in the Rutgers University Press Classics Imprint is the story of the search for a rocket propellant which could be trusted to take man into space. This search was a hazardous enterprise carried out by rival labs who worked against the known laws of nature, with no guarantee of success or safety. Acclaimed scientist and sci-fi author John Drury Clark writes with irreverent and eyewitness immediacy about the development of the explosive fuels strong enough to negate the relentless restraints of gravity. The resulting volume is as much a memoir as a work of history, sharing a behind-the-scenes view of an enterprise which eventually took men to the moon, missiles to the planets, and satellites to outer space. A classic work in the history of science, and described as “a good book on rocket stuff…that’s a really fun one” by SpaceX founder Elon Musk, readers will want to get their hands on this influential classic, available for the first time in decades.

The History of Human Space Flight
Military Writers Society of America Awards, Gold Medal for History Highlighting men and women across the globe who have dedicated themselves to pushing the limits of space exploration, this book surveys the programs, technological advancements, medical equipment, and automated systems that have made space travel possible. Beginning with the invention of balloons that lifted early explorers into the stratosphere, Ted Spitzmiller describes how humans first came to employ lifting gasses such as hydrogen and helium. He traces the influence of science fiction writers on the development of rocket science, looks at the role of rocket societies in the early twentieth century, and discusses the use o...
