Excellent and Easy To Read

I found this book a great read. It covered little things not usually included in space books like what the astronauts heartrates got to during critical manoevers. I would recommend it to anyone interested in space.

The history of space flight!

This is one of the few good books that there is now, in my opinion, about space flight. Not only does it focus on every single detail of the american space program, but it also focuses on the russian space program. Have you ever wondered about just what happened after that orbit or just when that launch was? Just grab HEROES IN SPACE:FROM GAGARIN TO CHALLENGER to find out. This book is, in my opinion, one of the best books available on space flight right now.
