Product Description
This book outlines the development of space technology for military purposes from its very beginnings during World War II right up to the latest, most sophisticated systems. The author starts with references to the prewar era, then goes on to discuss German rocketry during World War II and their bold wartime ambitions, which were finally developed during the Cold War. By the mid-1950s, space was being visualized as the next big battlefield, and both the U.S. and Soviet Union had ambitions to expand their domains into the solar system. Many of these ideas were completely impractical, way beyond possible realization, extremely dangerous, and completely unaffordable. By the start of manned spaceflight, missions became politically motivated, although military projects continued in the background and this would eventually surface as the Star Wars proposals.
This is a serious, factual study about the many projects that have come to the drawing board since the very beginning of space technology development; from the early experiments by the Germans in World War II, through the X-plane era, 'Star Wars', and then to the advanced spaceplane projects such as NASP (National Aerospace Plane), Copper Coast, and the Aurora spaceplane, Soviet spaceplanes and long-range USAF hypersonic strike and orbital aircraft. Many photos are included to illustrate the detailed and comprehensive text. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Very good book
This is a very detailed, authoritative reference book about military space projects usually hardly known. Definitely a must to have for those interested in this unusual subject, for which good books are hard to find. Great pictures too.

4-0 out of 5 stars It's a good start!
I think it is a good starting point to write a comprehensive book about military and dual purposes space projects and technologies.The book is well illustrated has a good pictures quality and print overall.It would be better if the book would be structured by the similar technology and historical development (Mercury vs. Vostok, Skylab vs. Salyut, Shuttle vs. Buran, X-20 vs. Hermes, etc.) rather then by the country's ambitions and by the projects at the same time, which is somewhat confusing.I understand that it is impossible to write about every project that was existed or currently is under development, however I would like to consider a few, perhaps for the next edition: VETA, Sanger (Germany), Concept Ascender (UK), SHECMA, Ariane (France), Hope (Japan), Shavit (Israel), Shenzhou, Project 921-3 (China), Navaho G-26, Snark SM-62, High Altitude Research Program (HARP) as a suborbital artillery gun, X-37 (X-40A), X-43 (US).For the Soviet Union secret military projects I would recommend the book by Anton Pervushin "Battle for Stars the Space Opposition" (ISBN 5-17-014587-X). Unfortunately for many readers this book is written in Russian.Overall, I would recommend Bill Rose book for the people who like airspace technology, its history, and development because there are a lot of useful information in it regarding different projects and concepts which are still can be applicable today for the space exploration either with civil or dual purposes.For additional reading I would suggest the book by Giles Sparrow "Spaceflight" which is good about the space exploration, programs, and technologies in general.

5-0 out of 5 stars Hides its light under a bushel
The first thing I would say about this is thats its a really fantastic book. On space projects and so on its one of the most comprehensive I've found. Don't expect to find pictures of UFO's in here, do expect to find a lot of interesting NASA and 'military' space projects. Very good section on Russian technology, nuclear space technology, Nazi programs, British programs, space born weapons. Good on things like the lost NASA programs like the X-33 and other advanced launch SSTO vehicles. - And above all lots of really good quality pictures of all these things.
What isn't here is anything thats still highly classified or super top secret but what were you expecting?

    1-0 out of 5 stars Wish I'd read it before buying it, this book was a waste of money.
    Having an interesting high-altitude ballooning and aerospace I figured that this book would be a good way to learn about some things I've not been exposed to yet.I'm generally a fan of the other books in the Projects for the Evil Genius series so I took a gamble that it would be interesting, engaging, and educational.

    It is none of those things.In fact, it's waste of money.

    Much of the book consists of "buy this product and read the manual" with a liberal spicing of "buy this kit, build it according to instructions, and use it" without any context, helpful tips, or other sources of information.This book is pretty thin on actual content and reads more like a catalog of someone's favorite gadgets without any helpful information.

    Don't buy this book as it is a waste of paper.Somebody dropped the ball over at McGraw-Hill when they thought this book would be a good idea.A real disappointment.

    1-0 out of 5 stars Projects are impractical
    Many projects mentioned here need additional and heavy investments. Most readers may not be owning such expensive commercial / scientific equipments needed to carry out the projects.

    1-0 out of 5 stars Evil yes, Genius no
    This is an astonishingly horrible waste of paper.I love astronomy and I like some of the similar "Evil Genius" series.I appreciate the fact that this book was apparently written for the absolute beginner in mind.But it is dreadful.A typical "project" involves buying an expensive piece of equipment, and then simply being told to use it. (Eg Project 10.) Project 15, supposedly telling the reader how to launch a CCD camera on a model rocket, never even mentions how to install or activate the camera! Other "projects" simply restate the assembly instructions for a specific telescope or other piece of gear which already comes with instructions. Project 27 says, "Use a shortwave radio." Uh huh, for what, and what does it have to do with astronomy? Other projects show a few equations scribbled by hand, with the expectation the reader will figure out how to use them (and can read the poor handwriting.) I could almost think the whole book is a joke, it is so pathetic.This should be taken off the shelves. ... Read more

    Product Description

     

    When Galileo lifted off from Kennedy Space Center on 18 October 1989, it began an interplanetary voyage that took it to Venus, two asteroids, back to Earth, and finally on to Jupiter. The craft’s instruments studied Jupiter’s enormous magnetosphere and its belts of intense radiation. The spacecraft also sent off a planetary probe that accomplished the most difficult atmospheric entry ever attempted. After this, the craft spent years visiting Jupiter’s moons and delving into their structures and properties.
     
    This book attempts to convey the creativity, leadership, and vision that were necessary for the mission’s success.   It is a book about dedicated people and their scientific and engineering achievements.   The Galileo mission faced many significant problems. Some of the most brilliant accomplishments and “work-arounds” (such as problems with the high-gain antenna) of the Galileo staff occurred precisely when these challenges arose. Throughout the mission, engineers and scientists found ways to keep the spacecraft operational, from a distance of nearly half a billion miles, enabling one of the most impressive voyages of scientific discovery.

    This book tells of the hopes and plans to put people living on the moon and mars. The planet is already overpopulated, so this ought to be done right away. Going to settle somewhere else will give people on earth and up there, some breathing room - the world needs it!

    5-0 out of 5 stars book smart
    wonderful book. Would recommend this book to anyonegreat for the price

    5-0 out of 5 stars Project Constellation, a work in progress
    This book is as clear a guide to the plans to return to the Moon as can be published at such an early date. It gives a broad overview of the craft that will be built to undertake the journey .
    The sections on the Ares vehicles is interesting, and showsthe Shuttle heritage of the Orion program. The Orion section is a little indistinct, as the Spacecraft is still undergoing design changes, and the section onthe Altair Lander is sketchier still, as at the time, they were still referring to it by the acronym LSAM or Lunar Surface Access Module.
    This book is great for current readers who are following the current build -up to a Lunar return as well as providing future readers with a historical context to the earlier days of the Second Lunar explorations

    4-0 out of 5 stars It really does fit in your pocket
    The best book I've seen so far on the Ares / post space shuttle rockets. This is a serious rocket designed to go primarily back into deep space, as opposed to the space shuttle which is just a trolley bus to space stations. The biggest version is as big as the old Saturn V.... anyone who's stood next to that thing knows this is one serious rocket...
    Its a compact book but as these types of books date quite quickly, its ideal.

    4-0 out of 5 stars A Little Giant
    Project Constellation seems to be more than just a single "project", in fact it is developing into a manned/highlift Space Transportation System, reaching from Low Earth Orbit to the Moon and, ultimately, to the planet Mars. Of course such a politically concieved system may lose its backing in the next election, but, assuming that it succeends in gathering financial and politcal momentum, it may eventually become what NASA now is aiming for.
    What, then, is it all about? Well, you get the answer in this booklet, most of an answer anyway, as conceived in the year 2006-07. Today it is a veritable Little Giant of information and explanation. A couple of years from now it will, of course, be dated. Still some more years in the future, it will be a historical reference of what was visualized after the first NASA perusal of the George W Bush clarion call for Manned Space Exploration in the 2000:ies. I hope I will live long enough to compare the vision of 2006 with the reality of 2020.
    Why only four stars? Again the bane of conflicting systems of weights and measures: ancient foot-pounds in the US, metric in the civilized world. One could use either, or, or both in parallell, in this booklet there is no clear line of preference. Please note, that NASA has decided that the lunar part of the program will be planned and executed in metric. All honour to the NASA of old, which landed 12 men on the Moon using the old imperial measurements in conjunction with the computer technology of the 1960-ies. ... Read more

    Author Robert Godwin has done an excellent job with this entire series, with some additional information not known or not commonly known and a few new pictures. The cost is low, and the series seems to grow overnight.
    This guide can be an excellent starter for kids & adults. I feel that it is important to share with my children the early space program and the pioneering spirit and efforts of so many, Project Gemini seems to get left out of history lessons and many people's minds. I lived through the program as a spectator, but as I grew up and met some of these poineers especially the astronauts, they seem to want to talk about accomplishments during Project Gemini as being the steps to landing on the Moon. I recommend the entire series and have purchased more than half of it.Project Gemini Pocket Space Guide (Pocket Space Guides) ... Read more
