THE SPACE SHUTTLE: A Mission-by-Mission Celebration of NASA's Extraordinary Spaceflight Program

Tells the story of NASA's Space Shuttle program and its 140 space flights in a uniquely designed way. Long before the James Webb Telescope rekindled our fascination with astronomy and place in the cosmos, the Space Shuttle began to capture the world's attention with its first mission (a test launch) on April 12, 1981 and continued to do so until its final mission on July 8, 2011. Fully illustrated in color.
