mass_market. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

"The countless readers who are familiar with such great Michener works as Hawaii, The Source, Centennial, Chesapeake and The Covenant will recall that they are all set in vast time frames, ranging from hundreds to millions of years, and that their actions take place in settings all around the world. The action in Space is confined to a tight frame of only forty years, but in a scene that extends for billions of miles beyond the surface of Earth. The American explorations and discoveries in space provide the principal subject matter of this engrossing and informative novel based on the activities of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the fascinating people and intricate machines connected with it. The story bewgins in October 1944 and introduces four men: Stanley Mott, U.S. engineer in England on a secret mission; Norman Grant, naval hero in the Battle of Leyte Gulf; John Pope, high-school football star and student of astronomy; Dieter Kolff, rocket engineer associated with Wernher von Braun. These four, who will be crucial to the space program, and their wives are principals in the enormous cast of characters, which also includes Randolph Claggett, Texas, Marine, astronaut, and his wife, Debbie Dee; Cynthia Rhee, glamorous Korean reporter and writer; Tucker Thompson, ebullient editor of Folks magazine; Leopold Strabismus, self-named confidence man who operates on the fringe. The incredible successes of the Gemini and Apollo manned flights, the Viking landings on Mars, the breathtaking performance of the Columbia, the encounters with Jupiter and Saturn by Voyagers 1 and 2 -- these awesome achievements did not sprint full-blown from a presidential edict. The story of what was behind them is vividly, dramatically and clearly told here: the complicated experimentation, invention and planning by scientists and engineers, and their debates about means and ends, their speculations about future accomplishments in space and the possibility of life in other galaxies; the personal rivalries; the political maneuverings in Washington; the selection and training of the astronauts; the excitements and anxieties of the flights and landings; the public relations and media confrontations. Space is a compelling narrative, fiction for the most part, but solidly built on the factual and the possible." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
