Moon. History, People, Technology

Over several decades, much has been written about the history of lunar exploration, interplanetary stations, and launch vehicles, about the "moon race", and about various projects and achievements. However, the book "Moon. History, People, Technology" can rightly be considered the most complete, most detailed, and chronologically organized publication, including previously unpublished materials, as well as reports, documents, and photographs that just yesterday were classified as "Secret". What pace humanity moved towards its celestial neighbor, what stages, difficulties, and discoveries were made along the way, is told by Pavel Shubin - a mathematician, author of popular science books and articles on the history of space exploration, an expert in interplanetary stations and scientific instruments. The first volume covers the history from 1953 to 1965.
