5.0 out of 5 stars Guide to Space Launch Systems!, October 27, 2001
By Joan Roch (Montréal, Qc Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A complete and technically detailed enumeration of rockets from all around the world (yes, outside the USA). Very well done, and very instructive. Diagrams, charts and statistics... it has it all.
