From Booklist:
Laid out like a newsletter with headlines, articles, art, photos, and advertisements, this book in the History News series capsulizes the lead stories in space exploration. Opening with Greek observations of 2,500 years ago, the articles recap developments in theory and technology with energetic, often humorous writing and compelling original and archival art and photographs, contriubted by Douglas Millard, all attractively displayed newspaper style. Some liberties have been taken to create the alluring sense of immediacy: the "interview" with the first Russian cosmonaut, Yuri Gagarin, bears no quotation marks, leading to the assumption that it is fabricated; interviews with two unidentified experts are printed with quotes. Children will need to bear in mind that the articles in this oversize volume are written to convey concise blips of information in a fun, attention-grabbing way, and at that they succeed. Ellen Mandel
From School Library Journal:
Grade 4-7This latest series title hits the high spots of our off-planet experiences through the by-now-familiar combination of headlined articles; advertisements (GALILEO-STYLE TELESCOPES COMPLETE WITH STAND ARE NOW AVAILABLECOME TO NEW WORLDS BEHIND THE TOWER AT PISA); and large, elaborate, brightly colored paintings. The book opens with a book review of Ptolemys Almagest (A.D. 140) and closes with a roundup of the next few space-program goals. What with interviews (Yuri Gagarin and other luminaries), accounts of Galileos trial and an astronauts training, close-ups of various rockets and space probes, and a final time line500 B.C.E.-A.D. 1998this breezy overview gives readers tantalizing glimpses of the history of space science.John Peters, New York Public Library
