Here is a re-post, with new scans, of one of my most popular series of books. There was a 1965 textbook for children call Looking Into Science. They reused the contents in a series of booklets that I would like to share with you. There were a large number of these booklets "extracted" from the classroom text but these are the most space oriented.
Rockets
I See The Earth! was a young adult/adult book about what technology would be like in the future. It included exploring and farming the ocean, monorails, huge cities and space exploration. The illustration in the margins are small but I rather enjoyed the space flight ones.
Lyapunov, B. I see the earth! Moscow. 20 cm., 112 p. paperback. 1968.
The Moon Fleet Log Book was a book distributed by Wall's Ice Cream to collect space cards that came with the ice cream. There were spaces for 24 cards. This book was incomplete but still worth sharing with you.
Continuing with my post from last week, some excerpts from the May 1947 issue of Rockets - The Magazine of Space Flight.
The Rockets Journal was a post-war publication of the United States Rocket Society. There are several online issues here

Here is a biography of the controversial editor:

I wanted to share a few selections from my copies. These were not for children but still inspirational to me about the will some people had about going into space. They were convinced that it was time to "dream of space." These are from the February 1946 issue.
