Wernher Von Braun Knihy

Paměti Dietera K. Huzela vypráví o tom, jak v Německu už od dvacátých let tohoto století probíhal kosmický výzkum, pokračoval za druhé světové války a po válce byl přenesen do USA.

This classic on space travel was first published in 1953, when interplanetary space flight was considered science fiction by most of those who considered it at all. Here the German-born scientist Wernher von Braun detailed what he believed were the problems and possibilities inherent in a projected expedition to Mars.  Today von Braun is recognized as the person most responsible for laying the groundwork for public acceptance of America's space program. When President Bush directed NASA in 1989 to prepare plans for an orbiting space station, lunar research bases, and human exploration of Mars, he was largely echoing what von Braun proposed in The Mars Project.
