Düsseldorf, Econ-Verlag, 1957. 8vo. Portrait,+ 259,+ (blank),+ (4) pp.+ plates. Illustrated. The last (4) pp. with advertisements. Publ. decorated cloth with dust jacket. In a protective mylar sleeve. Second edition, first published in 1954. In this work, rocketry pioneer Oberth (1894-1989) looks forward into Man?s conquest of space, discussing rocket technology, astronaut?s equipment, space stations, space telescopes, electric spaceships, lunar exploration (including a description of a lunar vehicle) and the colonization of other planets. An interesting if perhaps somewhat megalomanic concept, presented for the first time in ?Menschen im Weltraum?, is the gigantic Weltraumspiegel (space mirror), that Oberth envisages being used to influence climate and weather on Earth, by reflecting and directing light from the Sun towards different parts of the planet?s surface - a form of climate engineering that points forward to the problems of our own age.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
