Три, два, один... старт! От награжденного автора книги "Мы одни во Вселенной?" приходит заглавие, которое унесет юные воображения далеко в космос. "Это ракетостроение" исследует прошлое, настоящее и будущее космических путешествий. Захватывающий текст, проверенный учеными НАСА, представляет собой сочетание истории, науки, человеческой драмы и будущих вызовов. Читатели узнают, как фейерверки в Древнем Китае превратились в огненные стрелы Чингисхана; мы встречаемся с сэром Исааком Ньютоном, Жюлем Верном, Гербертом Уэллсом и узнаем, как их воображение сформировало ракетостроение. Мы возвращаемся в эру Спутника, спутника, который запустил космическую гонку сверхдержав, закончившуюся лунными прогулками и стыковкой в космосе. И наконец, мы смотрим в будущее на вызовы Марса и дальше. Мы также получаем быстрый взгляд на новые технологии, такие как космические лифты, солнечные паруса, ионный двигатель и многое другое.
Are you ready to take off on a rocket of the mind? Gloria Skurzynski ’ s ( True Stories of Amateur Astronomers ) This Is RocketScience: True Stories Of The Risk-Taking Scientists Who Figure Out Ways To Explore Beyond hurdles away from hardcover glory and into the unknown.
An investigative reportage about the origins and adventures of science to make way into outer space, It provides the reader with a retrospective of pioneering intellectuals, futurists, scientists, and brilliant achievers. History, science history, human story, and science fiction are reverberated as this exploration takes off into concepts, achievements, technological upheaval, and volatile mysteries.
Throughout these perilous skies, myriad invented trials and tribulations form a breathtaking sight of masterful mastery. You walk through the ancient world of fireworks to get them to fire rockets, mull what stone age rockets might've been capable of, learn about nefarious plots, milestones of positions and alliances, and as well as the rising revolutionary-sis question of are we alone?. Readers find out how ancient technology and scientific thinking have translated right into our days race towards escaping the influence of gravity and leaving Earth’s shores.
This Inquiry gives you a front row perspective into the awe-inspiring fireworks ensconced in China, the time losing work of officially channeling gravity for the likes of Sir Isaac Newton or subtle solar shields mounting up in H.

Readers indulge in the pleasures of literary indulgence, whether it's the belief-shattering story of the astronaut that claims the failures of rover to epidemic as space walks and rendezvouses in space emerge in a passionate dance. These three dimensional creative journeys culminate using today's technological forms, introducing you to space elevators and solar sails and exposing you to alternate ideas such as ion propellant.
