A history of exploration through eleven objects from the Air and Space Museum: "Takes you behind the scenes with firsthand stories and rare photos." -William F. Readdy, former NASA astronaut and Space Shuttle commander
Throughout human history, across cultures and landscapes, countless individuals have gazed with wonder in the same direction: upward. Getting to space was no easy task, and our quest to further explore the universe, to understand the impossibly vast heavens, continues.
In
Milestones of Space, Michael Neufeld and select curators of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum present a gorgeous photographic celebration of some of the most groundbreaking artifacts that played key parts in giving humanity its first steps into the cosmos. Focusing on the most iconic objects and technology-such as Friendship 7, the Lunar Module 2, Neil Armstrong's Lunar Suit, the Hubble Space Telescope, and Space Shuttle Discovery-this book extensively profiles eleven of the NASM's most important breakthroughs in space technology.
The NASM curators feature each object in incredible detail with compelling timelines, sidebars and captions, and over 150 archival images that provide new and little-known insights into their development and historical context. We are still a long way from grasping our universe-but for now,
Milestones of Space magnificently commemorates the individuals and inventions that have taken us this far.
