Space has always fascinated humans, and thus has inspired many scientists and exploration programs. This title covers many aspects of these scientific and exploration programs of space by stepping through centuries of observing and theories, before focusing on the more recent space travel. Relatively simple text explains many of the topics, people, and craft related to space exploration via short sentences or paragraphs aligned with drawings of the craft, person, or place. Black paper, with white text and sketches, plus various color drawings, depict the events, spacecraft, and people who have had parts in various space programs around the world. A useful title which will easily provide fresh, updated coverage of space exploration. Great for readers interested in the history of space exploration.
