Description

The journey into space is a dangerous one, and although some aspects of space travel seem to be routine it still takes humanity to the limits of what is technically possible.

It is an environment that forgives no mistake, and where carelessness usually has fatal consequences.

This book records more than a dozen American and Soviet space disasters from 1967 to the present day.

Presented are tragic and near tragic missions such as NASA’s Gemini 6A and 8, Apollo 1 and 13, the Challenger and Columbia space shuttle disasters, as well as the Soviets’ Soyuz 1, 11, and 18-1, and more.

The concise and detailed history is presented along with rare photographs, transcripts of mission conversations, as well as detailed timelines.
