Summary:
"A beautifully illustrated history of the exploration of
space
through the most iconic objects from the Smithsonian
National
Air
and
Space
Museum
. Throughout the whole of human history, across all of Earth's cultures and landscapes, countless individuals have gazed with wonder in the same direction: upwards. Getting to
space
was no easy task, and our curiosity with the surrounding universe has long been a source of earthly pride and competition. At the bottom of this international technological rivalry, though, lies one unifying purpose, which is to understand the impossibly vast heavens. 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"--From publisher.
