Women's Day -August (1953) Part 2

 

Another article that appeared in this August 1953 issue is about the current fictional space flight programs on TV: Rocket-Bye Baby.

Women's Day -August (1953) Part 1

 

Women's Day magazine also got involved in the spaceflight fad in the early 1950s. This 1953 (August) issue had a number of space related articles including: Will Your Child Visit The Moon? The article makes the case to the mothers of America that travel into space and the Moon is possible. It lays out the current development of spaceflight and how it will evolve. Not a lot of illustrations for all this text but a most interesting article in an unlikely place.

Searching In Science (1965)

 

To continue with my post from last week, Searching in Science was another science textbook that also issued booklets of content. These were more astronomy than manned space flight but also had some very nice illustrations.

The Moon

The Milky Way and The Universe

Exploring the Universe

Explaining "time dilation" at sub-light speeds

Distances in Space

Looking Into Science (1965)

 

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

Earth Satellites

Exploring Space

Living In Space
