Summary

It may be 46 years since we landed on the moon but our yearning for space travel and exploration hasn't abated. There may be no more moon-landings (for now) but billions of dollars are still being spent to get humans off this earth and exploring outer-space. Author Chris McLeod is fascinated by space travel and in 'Space Race' he explores some of the most significant developments from the past few decades, as well as what's in store for the next few. Read about the Space Race from the 50s and 60s between the Russians and the Americans. Remember the heartbreaking Space Shuttle disasters of both Challenger and Columbia. Learn about the robotic exploration of Mars, and the hope that one day people will walk on the Red Planet. And discover what space agencies right across the world are planning as they reach further and furthe towards the stars.
