Colonizing the Planets (1975)

I am off to vist the far off planets for a couple of weeks, so no posts for a while. Here is a beauty to leave you with.



Bergaust, Erik. Colonizing the Planets. New York : Putnam. (93 p.) 24 cm.



Discusses "the factual story of manned interplanetary flight into the 21st century' (according to the cover). Topics include unmanned probes, the exploration of Mars and Venus, nuclear-powered rockets and the terrafoming of Venus.





Illustrations of rockets, manned spacecraft going to Mars, manned landing on one of Saturn's moons, and a permanent space station around Venus.
