Apollo's Legacy: Perspectives on the Moon… di Roger D. Launius

A comprehensive look at the history of NASA’s Apollo program and its irrevocable impact on American society. As he considers the many perceptions of the moon landings . . . celebrated, criticized, denied . . . the author examines them in the light of key moments in the space race.

Carefully-researched, examining both the origins and the accomplishments of the Apollo program, the book highlights previously untold stories and insights of the program in the light of the Cold War as it offers a historical perspective on mankind’s steps away from planet Earth.

Highly recommended.… (altro)

Space Stations: Base Camps to the Stars di Roger D. Launius

I thought this would be a book about the ISS and maybe Mir, something to skim and discard. I was pleasantly surprised by its scope, beginning with an early appearance of a "brick moon" space station in mid-19th century science fiction and placing the concept of space stations firmly in the context of early rocketry and space flight. This book has earned a place with the rest of the space-related books on our shelf.

I'd be interested in reading a 15-years-later update.

Smithsonian Atlas of Space Exploration di Roger D Launius

The history of space exploration has brought about many leaps for mankind. Here in this coffee-table-sized book, foremost experts from the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum offer readers a stunning visual narrative of our journey from the Earth to the stars.

From ancient observatories and the scientists who envisioned space, the narrative takes readers to the beginning of the space age and the gateways to space. Orbiting the Earth and reaching for moon lead readers to other terrestrial worlds, and then across the solar system.

A basic shelf of readings on the history of space exploration is included for further reading.
