Review

This book looks at how humans have explored space in the past and where we are headed now. It starts with a look at Voyager 1 and 2 and their mission to help us find investigate our solar system and the space beyond it. From there, it touches on very early explorations of space, moves on to more current history and ends with where we are headed in regards to future space exploration. What sets this book apart is not just the informative yet easy to understand text, it’s the cutout drawings. Each page includes at least one drawing and many include cutout illustrations so the reader can really see and get a feel for the structures being explained. Fabulous book for space aficionados and everyone else. A definite must for any library. Cream

Overall Book Score: excellent
