Breaking the Chains of Gravity - diskuze

NASA s history is a familiar story, culminating with the agency successfully landing men on the Moon in 1969. But its prehistory is largely absent from the popular space-age literature. America s space agency drew together some of the best minds the non-Soviet world had to offer.
