I was told by a friend that I needed to get a copy of "The Lunar Exploration Scrapbook: A Pictorial History of Lunar Vehicles" because I enjoy reading about space and space exploration. I was told it was a "must-have" for those interested in the history of space exploration. I had my doubts at first since there are so many books that are listed as "must haves" or "must reads." However, I was lucky enough to win a copy of this book on a space talk radio show (The Space Show) and I can see that my friend was correct. It really is a must-see and must have for those interested in the history of space exploration. To say this book is chock-a-block full of images would be an understatement. There are nearly 800 beautifully rendered 3D images in just over 200 pages. These images span from the 1930s to the late 1960s and include a write-up of information relating to the vehicle. This book is a must have for space lovers of all ages. Pick up the book, look through it. You will not be disappointed. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

In 1938 a committee of the British Interplanetary Society drew up the first serious plans for a manned lunar spacecraft. The BIS moon ship would be the first in a long line of designs that would ultimately lead to Tranquility Base and beyond. Working alongside engineers and scientists from Britain, Canada and Germany, the elite of American industrial engineers turned their attention to not only reaching the moon but to establishing a long-term presence there. Between 1958 and 1971 millions of man-hours and untold amounts of money were spent to try and create the hardware necessary to accomplish this unprecedented goal. In this book for the first time in one place, is a pictorial register of many of these incredible designs. A remarkable story of what might have happened if the mighty Saturn V rocket had not been relegated to the status of an historical footnote. In his latest book, "The Lunar Exploration Scrapbook", noted editor and writer Robert Godwin, has distilled years of research into an unprecedented look at the many machines considered by the United States for lunar exploration. Combining the blueprints of the 1950s and 1960s with modern computer graphics, Godwin has brought to life many of the past, and packed them all into one tightly woven package of colour and facts. The Lunar Exploration Scrapbook features colour texture-wrapped renderings of dozens of designs that never left the drawing board, creating a unique look at what might have happened if money had been no object, and humanity had gone to the moon to stay.
