Chronicles the history of space exploration and development of space technology from the beginning of the Space Age, and speculates on the future of space travel and study
Well written book with many photos and copies of front pages of newspaper which highlight the space program through 1990. I would use this with upper elementary students through middle school, though younger students would be interested in the pictures too. This book can be enhanced further if the teacher would be able to share his or her memory of the different events in space history with the students.
