Here is the last book in the "space quartet", Beyond Mars. It takes a large survey of the next steps in space including: solar sailing, travel to Saturn via long distance trips to the outer solar system, multi-year hibernation travel, hydroponics, and visiting other solar systems.
Nephew, William and Michael Chester. Illustrated by Buehr, Walter. Beyond Mars. New York: G. P. Putnam’s Sons. (72 p.) 1960.
Fascinating discussion of a solar sailing multi-probe to Jupiter. Surprising insights in the early Space Age.
ReplyDeleteI was able to acquire this book from my childhood library around 2009. Only one other person had checked it out since I had last done so in 1974…and that was in 1978. Books like this were and still are wondrous to me and have inspired my life-long interest in and passion for space exploration.
