Once Upon a Time in Space

James Bluemel

£27.00


It's been 63 years since Yuri Gagarin became the first human to ever go into space. Since then, only 676 people have followed him up there. But now with huge technological advances bridging the gap between our planet and all that lies beyond, that number is about to rise dramatically. 'Once Upon a Time in Space' is the human story of how we've made it this far - the remarkable achievements, tragic losses, left-field experiments, renegade characters and ever-shifting powerplay - and where we're about to go. Featuring full-colour photography from both personal collections of astronauts and NASA's archives, the human story of space is told through intimate and powerful testimony from the astronauts, scientists, engineers and space tourists who have lived it.
