Description

From Galileo s telescope to the International Space Station – a photo-filled tour through the milestones of space exploration

This eclectic pop history of space exploration, by scientist-educator Sten Odenwald at NASA, examines 100 objects – all stunningly photographed – and their effect on what we know and how we think about space. Whimsical and uniquely clarifying, Space Exploration – A History in 100 Objects covers the iconic, from Sputnik to Skylab, as well as the lesser-known but utterly important:

The ancient Greek Antikythera mechanism, the first known analog computer, which predicted astronomical movement.
Luna 3, the first satellite to glimpse the far side of the moon. The O-ring; the humble, rubber part that doomed the Space Shuttle Challenger.
Syncom 2, the first geosynchronous satellite, which made international TV possible.
The V-2 rocket, the first artificial object to cross the threshold of space – and many more!
