100 Great Conquerors of Space

The idea of human space flight and the exploration of space in general originated in ancient times, primarily during humanity's spiritual understanding of the cosmos. Initially, it manifested in artistic and religious images, then evolved at the level of philosophical and theoretical consciousness, and finally took on concrete scientific and technical forms. Humans first mastered airships and flying machines, and then space ships and orbital stations, with each even small achievement backed by a tremendous amount of scientific and engineering work.
This latest book in the series tells about one hundred outstanding pioneers of space—scientists-theorists, designers, astronauts.
