Summary:
Aiming for the Stars explores the motivations, goals, trials, and
triumphs of the people who pioneered space exploration from the
sixteenth century to the modern era. Tom D. Crouch describes space
travel's emergence from the pages of science fiction into the
laboratories of twentieth-century rocketeers. Linking individual
obsessions and achievements with the political events and social
currents that surrounded them, the book offers a wide-ranging view of
the attempt to explore the final frontier.
