Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Edition, First Printing. 8 1/4 X 11 Inches. 147 PP. "Across the Space Frontier," is a landmark anthology that gathered the most forward-thinking aerospace experts of its day-including Wernher von Braun, Willy Ley, and Heinz Haber-to outline technically credible visions of rockets, orbital stations, reusable shuttles, and lunar voyages. The book turned speculative ideas into vivid, accessible concepts that sparked public enthusiasm and helped lay the intellectual groundwork for later NASA programs such as the Saturn V. As a primary source on pre-Sputnik optimism, it remains a crucial reference for historians tracing how early scientific optimism transitioned into the concrete engineering achievements of the space age.
