Learn about the intense competition of the Space Race, where NASA responded to the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik with its own ambitious missions. Understand the important milestones of Project Mercury and Project Gemini, which set the stage for the historic Apollo 11 mission that first put humans on the moon. The book also covers NASA's efforts to explore the solar system through the Mariner, Pioneer, and Voyager missions, which expanded our knowledge of planets like Venus, Mars, and the far reaches of our solar system.
Besides recounting past successes, this book looks at NASA's current projects and future plans. From the creation and missions of the Space Shuttle to building the International Space Station (ISS), NASA keeps pushing the limits of what is possible. The book also highlights ongoing efforts like the Mars rover missions and the search for life beyond Earth through astrobiology and exoplanet studies.
