Pickering have written and illustrated a thorough history of John F. Kennedy's role in developing the United States' space program.

Now, a century after Kennedy's birth, the United States has reached the moon, sent probes into deep space, and had its astronauts spend extended time in space, all of which are a legacy of Kennedy's presidency.
