Space Travel for the Beginner

In Space Travel for the Beginner, Patrick Moore tells the incredible story of space exploration & space discovery. Spacecraft have visited every planet in our solar system except Pluto. Even Venus, with its red-hot surface & choking clouds, has been the destination of a space mission. Within a few years, there will be robot spacecraft exploring the outer reaches of our solar system. Patrick Moore describes all of the major NASA missions from the first satellite Explorer 1, the Apollo flights to the Moon, the voyages to the outer planets, & the proposed NASA Space Station. There are many colour photographs from the NASA missions as well as clear diagrams.
