This Is the Way to the Moon

The Journey to the Moon – for some, the culmination of efforts of hundreds of top engineers and scientists across many fields; for others, the greatest boyhood adventure imaginable. For Miroslav Šašek, it appears to be both. This addition to his series of illustrated guides doesn't just take readers to Florida but far beyond, into the vastness of space. It's a celebration of the quest to conquer space, with Šašek meandering through Cape Canaveral, its beaches, small towns, and the space center, discovering rockets of all kinds—from simple paper models to the real, space-bound giants. Written at a time when the moon landing was still a dream about to be realized, Šašek captures the anticipation and wonder of this monumental human achievement.
