Review:
Aiming for the Stars is much more than an informative guide to the past, present, and future of the space program. It is also an inspiring personal account of the men and women who sacrificed so much for all of us along the pathways to space. If you have only one book on your shelf about space history, make it this one. Even the most avid space-flight junkie will find something new on every page. -- Homer H. Hickam Jr., author of October Sky.
