Scoperte ed esplorazioni caratterizzano l'intero libro: una cronologia informa sulla storia ricca di record del nostro universo, infografiche a doppia pagina presentano i record in contesti innovativi e una vasta raccolta di fatti, dati e statistiche entusiasmerà lettori di tutte le età.

The Apollo 11 astronaut invites young people to evaluate Mars as a potential planet for human colonization, and describes what Mars residents might experience while traveling to and living on the Red Planet.

This book tells the remarkable story of space exploration from the early twentieth century to the present, with compelling coverage--including a wealth of illustrations--of every US space mission ever undertaken, including those of projects Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo, and the development of the Space Shuttle. The exciting story is brought right up to the present by explaining the function of NASA's two windows in the Hubble Space Telescope and the International Space Station. This book is the first illustrated history of NASA--the National Aeronautics and Space Administration--ever to be published. It underlines the personalities involved--the personal ambitions and temperaments of astronauts, pilots, scientists and engineers, and the influence of America's presidents on the country's space program--as much as the technological advances that have made space exploration possible. It is authoritatively and engagingly written, and profusely illustrated throughout with 500 stunning photographs.

Perfect for the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing in summer 2019! It’s been fifty years since Buzz Aldrin walked on the Moon. But the journey didn’t begin when he stepped on board Apollo 11 that fateful day in July 1969. It began the day he was born. This picture book is Buzz Aldrin's story, in his words. Wendell Minor's gorgeous paintings evoke the wonder of space exploration for young readers. Becoming an astronaut took more than education, discipline, and physical strength. It took years of determination and believing that any goal was possible—from riding a bike alone across the George Washington Bridge at age ten to making a footprint on the moon. We all have our own dreams. This is the story of how Buzz’s came true.

Space, often viewed as the final frontier, is just fifty miles away yet remains one of the most perilous and isolated realms. Inspired by popular media like Star Trek and Apollo 13, many dream of exploring it. Alan Tribble, with extensive experience in spacecraft design, including the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station, presents a practical guide that merges cutting-edge space engineering with the imaginative spirit of exploration. This book serves as an engaging resource on space exploration, detailing everything from the journey to space to communication and survival in its harsh conditions. Through examples from both real and fictional missions, Tribble addresses intriguing questions about space travel, such as the design differences in hatches, the connection between curveballs and satellites, and the tragic Apollo I incident. He delves into the physics of motion and the implications of Einstein's relativity while discussing the fundamentals of spacecraft design, including power management and navigation. This exploration of rocket science is accessible and exciting, appealing to armchair astronauts, engineers, and anyone captivated by the mysteries of the cosmos. Readers will find this guide both enlightening and enjoyable.

It is a chronicle of two grand quests, two dynasties of heroes. A new space race is sparked by a bitter feud between scientist-astronaut Chris Terence and visionary entrepreneur Sig Jarlsbourg: two enemies determined to claim the frontier blazed by the Apollo pioneers. But a radio beacon from deep space, from a world called Tiber, will bring both men together—and lead one to his doom. Solving the Tiberian mystery becomes a legacy, driving Chris’s son and Jarlsbourg’s heir, Jason Terence, to found the first city on Mars, and leading their descendants beyond the confines of the solar system. Encounter with Tiber is the saga of another family as well. Its heroes were brave, desperate, ancient beings who learned all too well the precious fragility of lives and worlds. Beings who did indeed come to our ancestors in chariots of fire—and who proved to be anything but gods…

"Beloved American hero Buzz Aldrin reflects on the wisdom, guiding principles, and irreverent anecdotes he's gathered through his event-filled life--both in outer space and on Earth--in this inspiring guide-to-life for the next generation. Everywhere he goes, crowds gather to meet Buzz Aldrin. He is a world-class hero, a larger-than-life figurehead, best known of a generation of astronauts whose achievements surged in just a few years from first man in space to first men on the Moon. Now he pauses to reflect and share what he has learned, from the vantage point not only of outer space but also of time..."--

This memoir by the world-renowned astronaut describes his fantastic journey to the moon, his subsequent bout with depression and alcoholism, the passionate love that saved him, and the future of the U.S. space program

Am 20. Juli 1969 schrieb Buzz Aldrin Geschichte, als er und Neil Armstrong die ersten Schritte der Menschheit auf dem Mond setzten. Nun bietet Aldrin zusammen mit dem preisgekrönten Romanautor John Barnes einen fesselnden Roman über die Chancen und Gefahren, die uns im Weltraum heute begegnen. Minute für Minute kommt die Internationale Raumstation dem Absturz aus der Umlaufbahn näher. Nur der ehemalige Astronaut Scott Blackstone und sein Netzwerk von Verbündeten, angetrieben von ihrem starken Idealismus, können eine Rettung der Station und des Raumfahrtprogramms selbst organisieren.
