The journey into space is a dangerous one, and although some
aspects of space travel seem to be routine it still takes humanity
to the limits of what is technically possible. It is an environment
that forgives no mistake, and where carelessness usually has fatal
consequences. This book records more than a dozen American and
Soviet space disasters from 1967 to the present day. Presented are
tragic and near tragic missions such as NASA's Gemini 6A and 8,
Apollo 1 and 13, the Challenger and Columbia space shuttle
disasters, as well as the Soviets' Soyuz 1, 11, and 18-1, and more.
The concise and detailed history is presented along with rare
photographs, transcripts of mission conversations, as well as
detailed timelines.
