History of Space
From liftoff to splashdown, The New York Times has been on the forefront of space coverage. In 1919, The Times devoted an entire page to a single image of the sun: "The Latest and Most Remarkable Photograph of the Sun." A year later, the newspaper provided front-page coverage to Professor Robert H. Goddard's stunning theory, "Believes Rocket Can Reach Moon."
Packed with more than 85 reprinted Times pages, "History of Space" retraces man’s early fascination with the heavens and all the key moments in space exploration with as-it-happened reporting, including the launching of Sputnik, John Glenn's first orbit of Earth and man's historic first steps on the moon. Read original reporting on the Viking, Voyager, Pathfinder, Hubble Telescope, Challenger, James Webb Telescope, and recent highlights from The Times's coverage of the Artemis II.
An epic gift for space enthusiasts, this beautiful book measures 10.5" x 13.25" and has a velvety soft, imitation leather cover with library binding. The cover art and lettering is stamped in matte silver foil. For an extra personalized touch, you can add a custom message on the cover for a gift recipient.
