Hi Everyone, I am updating the space books page and I have added
some wonderful books which I would like to tell you about.

How Apollo Flew to the Moon by W. David Woods

David Woods tells the exciting story, starting from Americas post
war astronautical research facilities, that used the V-2 for the
development of Saturn V launcher. He describes the initial launches
through manned orbital spaceflights, comprehensively detailing each
step, including computer configuration, the role of ground control,
trajectory planning, lunar orbiting, separation of the lander,
walking and working on the Moon, retrieval of the lunar astronauts
and returning to Earth in this massive technical accomplishment.

America In Space: NASA's First Fifty Years

The story of America's space age is told with more than 400
carefully selected images. The story begins in the 1950s with
intrepid test pilots venturing ever faster and higher, and opens out
into the now-legendary Mercury and Apollo missions of the 1960s that
made astronauts into national heroes. The space shuttle era shows us
what everyday space travel might look like, while grand vistas of
the universe expand our sense of wonder. The large format of the
book captures both the human drama and the vast scale of NASA's
projects.

To the End of the Solar System: The Story of the Nuclear Rocket by
James A. Dewar

this study is a comprehensive history and analysis of nuclear rocket
propulsion systems. Detailing a two decade period—spanning the 1950s
through parts of the 1970s—by profiling the U.S. government's Rover
and NERVA programs, a complete history of the development of nuclear
propulsion capabilities for space exploration is provided. Eyeing
future possibilities, this reference identifies the technological
requirements necessary to perform the deep space missions now being
planned by NASA and presents a discussion on the political and
social issues surrounding nuclear rocket development.

There are lots of other intersting ones mentioned on the page.

I also have some new info pages, but I will mention them another day.
