I learned a number of things about the space race I didn't know, especially in regards to the Soviets. The writing is a little elementary though, and the author is from the UK so he uses British English. But if you are interested in space exploration you should enjoy it.
Lots of interesting bits but that's the problem. Lots of bits, not a lot of meat. Every item seems incomplete. Stories half told or less. The audio CD is cool and some of the photos are amazing.
