Invaluable reference for early building of station.,

This review is from: The Continuing Story of The International Space Station (Springer Praxis Books / Space Exploration) (Hardcover)
The book explains in good detail the early plans and people involved with the ISS. The future of the station chapters give a good outline, even for today, about where the station is headed in regards to development. The price at $40 is a little stunning since I was able to find the book for $30 elsewhere.

This review is from: The Continuing Story of The International Space Station (Springer Praxis Books / Space Exploration) (Hardcover)
While Bond gives an account of the International Space Station that is chock a block with statistics, he has striven to make the narrative very readable to a general audience. Indeed, the ISS is an inspiring multinational effort that would scarcely have been envisaged in the depths of the Cold War. The world wide effort is instructive.American readers who might be more accustomed to NASA's briefings should especially appreciate the information on the European Space Agency and the Russian abilities. Though to some readers, the book will be a frustration. Over 30 years after the Moon landings, and this is how far we have come? Sadly downbeat. |
