Reviews

[Adam · Rating 5 out of 5]

Herman Oberth is one of the main fathers of rocketry. It was published years before any man rode a rocket into space. He goes in details on how to send men into space, Moon cars, and even space stations. He even disagrees with Van Braun on some tactics. It's a very interesting book on early space age technology and history.
