Space: Discovery and Exploration is a lavishly illustrated large-format history of humanity's venture beyond the Earth, from the earliest rockets through the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs to the era of the Space Shuttle. The astronauts who have signed this copy were among the great pioneers of American spaceflight. John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth aboard Friendship 7 in 1962, and Alan Shepard, the first American in space, went on to command Apollo 14 and to walk on the Moon. Among the signers are four more moonwalkers, Alan Bean of Apollo 12, Charles Duke of Apollo 16, and Edgar Mitchell of Apollo 14, together with Frank Borman and James Lovell of Apollo 8, the first crew to orbit the Moon, and Lovell again as commander of the ill-fated Apollo 13. Wally Schirra remains the only astronaut to have flown in all three of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs. Together their signatures gather the living memory of the first age of human spaceflight into a single volume.…
