Breve historia de la carrera espacial

A brief history of the space race is an essential text because it does not limit itself to giving us a battery of scientific data, circumscribed to the space race, but also shows us the classic theories about the universe: Greek cosmology, Dante's universe or the Dream of Kepler. The information in the text is completed by a glossary of terms related to Astronautical Science and an appendix where the fundamentals of space science are explained in an informative way. The reader will be surprised to discover the anecdotes of the space war, the interference of extra-scientific interests in space flights and the real motivations of the powers that participated in this wonderful adventure that culminated in the Apollo XI mission that took man further than that has ever been reached: the Moon. An entertaining, rigorous and perfectly documented reading that recreates for us a time when military control and the threat of destruction of the earth were commonplace; a time in which science advanced like never before and made possible one of the most important events in history: the conquest of the Moon.
