Items related to The Mammoth Book of Space Exploration and Disaster...
In the words of those who trod the void and those at mission
control, here are over 50 of the greatest true stories of suborbital,
orbital and deep-space exploration. From Apollo 8's
first view of a fractured, tortured landscape of craters on the
'dark side' of the Moon to the series of cliff-hanger crises
aboard space station Mir, they include moments of
extraordinary heroic achievement as well as episodes of terrible
human cost. Among the astronauts and cosmonauts featured are
John Glenn, Pavel Beyayev, Jim Lovell, Neil Armstrong, Buzz
Aldrin, Valery Korzun, Vasily Tsibliyev and Michael Foale.
Includes . First walk in space by Sergei Leonov and his
traumatic return to Earth . Apollo 13's problem - the classic,
nail-biting account of abandoning ship on the way to the
Moon . Docking with the frozen, empty Salyut 7 space station
that had drifted without power for eight months . Progress
crashes into Mir - the astronauts survive death by a hair's
breadth . Jerry Linenger's panic attack during a space walk,
'just out there dangling'.
