Heroes of Space

The COOLEST space book of this type I've ever seen! The pop-out spacecraft and astronauts brings the whole subject to life! The little flip-up and take-out books make it extra fun. Lots of info and photos! It covers space history from the Mercury flights to the future of space flight.

If you or someone you know loves space, "Heores of Space" could very well be an excellent addition to your library. Written by DC Agle, "Heroes of Space" tells the history of America's manned space program from the its earliest -Project Mercury thru the moon landings and shuttle and into the future - space station and Mars missions. Agle does an excellent job of allowing the striking 3-D popups and astronaut quotes (of which their are many) to tell little known insights of the dramatic story of manned space flight. And if you need anything else to sell you, just press the cover. It contains an electronic chip which plays President Kennedy's historic 'go to the moon speech not because it is easy but because it is hard...' as well as sounds of a countdown and blastoff.
