Man's conquest of space af William Roy Shelton
Challenging the limitless ocean of space , 20th -century man confronts the most awesome of all frontiers. In the first busy decade of the Space Age, Man's courage and technology have carried them away from the home planet toward supreme adventure. This lovely novel encompasses the whole thrilling pageant: from Yuri Gargarin, the first man to orbit earth, to the epic walks in space; from the first simple satellites, to the complex giants, whirling through the reaches of interplanetary space.
"In the breathless language of the rocket ""shoot"", here is an unforgettable picture of the grace and strength and power of the great white bird fuming and smoking on the launch pad while the countdown crawls through that last suspenseful hour.
Rockets were used long ago by the Chinese, but this story starts with an American, Robert Goddard, and his suggestion in 1919 that a multistage rocket could be sent to the moon. Development of the German V-1 and V-2 followed. And eventually out of the snake-infested palmetto flats of Cape Canaveral emerged the free world's Number 1 Earthstrip.
The building of Cape Canaveral and its pioneer launches belong to history -- living history which mirrors the fantastic wonders of the future."… (mere)
