Description

This book is dedicated to the people of the former Soviet Union, who opened the space age on 4 October 1957, to the people of the United States who first sent humans to another world on 20 July 1969, to the thousands of scientists and engineers of all nations whose hearts have been broken by the countless failed missions that inevitably occurred on the way to the spectacular successes of Luna, Venera, numerous Mars orbiters and rovers, Pioneer, Mariner, Viking, Magellan, and Hubble and especially to the visionary government leaders, scholars, and technicians who funded, built, and sent forth the Voyager, Galileo, and Cassini-Huygens spacecraft to give us the incredible views we have of the other worlds in our cosmic neighborhood that may well hold our nearest neighboring forms of alien life.
