Celebrating 2,883,898 views of my Dreams of Space site today. I started this Blog in Feb of 2009 so now it is over 17 years old. (Drinking party next year!)
My first "space" book in Arabic. I am pretty sure that it was more for adults and from the illustrations may be a translation of a Russian book. It still fascinates me that spaceflight is so knew that people published space books for the layperson to explain the basics of space flight. Finding these book in many languages convinces me that the "space race" was global as people tried to understand what had changed with Sputnik launches.
So it is a bit of an oddity and can't be very common or well known.
