The incredible projects described here were not merely flights of fancy dreamed up by space enthusiasts, but actual missions planned by leading aeronautical engineers. Some were designed but not built; others were built but not flown; and a few were flown to failure but little reported: A giant rocket that would use atomic bombs as propulsion (never mind the fallout), military bases on the moon that could target enemies on earth with nuclear weapons, a scheme to spray-paint the lenses of Soviet spy satellites in space, the rushed Soyuz 1 spacecraft that ended with the death of its pilot, the near-disaster of the Apollo 11 moon landing, the mysterious Russian space shuttle that flew only once and was then scrapped -- these are just some of the unbelievable tales that Pyle has found in once top-secret documents as well as accounts that were simply lost for many decades. These stories tell of a time when nothing was too off-the-wall to be taken seriously, and the race to the moon and the threat from the Soviet Union trumped all other considerations."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Aeronautics $x History. 650 0 $a Astronautics $x History. 650 0 $a Aeronautics and state. 650 0 $a Astronautics and state. 650 0 $a Audiobooks. 700 1 $a Pruden, John, $e narrator. 710 2 $a Tantor Media. 710 2 $a Playaway Digital Audio. 710 2 $a Findaway World, LLC. 941 $a 1 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012013037.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E6E3F14468C411EE82CCA71150ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
