Spaceflight chronicles how, in the half-century that followed Sputnik, the world was revolutionized by space travel and exploration. The opening up of Earth's orbit to satellites led to a revolution in communications, monitoring of the environment, and materials science. For the human imagination, the impact has been even greater: the voyages of robotic space probes have transformed our view of the Solar System, while Earth-orbiting satellites and missions to the Moon have forever changed our view of ourselves. This book is a celebration of human ingenuity and imagination. From the work of pioneers like Wernher von Braun, Yuri Gagarin, and Neil Armstrong to the triumphs and tragedies that followed, it reveals the people, science, and technology that have propelled us into the Space Age. 651 0 $a Outer space $x Exploration. 651 0 $a Outer space $x History. $x History. 941 $a 3 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125011711.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204094434.0 952 $l SPPE104 $d 20191015020518.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5AE209BCAD0F11E98C46566A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
