Description
A photo-filled tour of 100 objects and their effect on what we know and how we think about space. It covers the iconic, from Sputnik to the ISS, as well as lesser-known but utterly important objects such as the ancient Greek Antikythera mechanism, the first known analogue computer; Luna 3, the first satellite to glimpse the far side of the moon; the humble rubber O-ring that doomed the Space Shuttle Challenger; the V-2 rocket, the first artificial object to cross the threshold of space - and many more.
