Curious Minds

In this richly illustrated book, Launius (former NASA chief historian) details the developments of space stations, from their first imaginings to the future of the International Space Station. He describes the public relations efforts of Werner Von Braun to promote space colonization, describes the science and politics of earlier space stations Skylab and Salyut, and speculates on the future of space exploration.
