A Maxton Book About Space Travel is a happily dated book from the late 1950s. I say dated because many of the design ideas were outmoded within 2 years of publication. This post is a re-run/expansion of this Sept 23, 2011 posting: http://dreamsofspace.blogspot.com/2011/09/space-travel-1958.html Written by Spielberg, Dr. Kurt. Illustrated by Hutchinson, William M. Space Travel. New York: Maxton Publishing Co. (28 p.) 27 cm. The author's son, James N Spielberg wrote me: "My late father, Dr. Kurt Spielberg, wrote the entire text for this book in 1958. He was a PhD in physics and taught at City College of New York at the time.He is world famous for his work in Operations Research. In the mid-60s, this book was in my fourth grade class library, and none of the other children would believe me when I told them that my father was the author. But he was. He was a great man, had a career that spanned decades at IBM, and is sadly missed." A simple book covering all aspect of space travel including history, physics, U.S. and Russian space efforts, building a space station, manned exploration of the Moon, and exploration of the planets. It has wonderful paintings of all these things devoting a page or two to each topic. "A Maxton Book about" series. See 1960 update and 1963 UK Reprint William Hutchinson is a wonderful illustrator. I like his soft touch illustrating these different space topics. I also like the prediction of future exploration. The "space flight progression" is illustrated nicely as we move from earth orbit, to the Moon, to planetary exploration.
A Brief History of Time will be great for you if you're after an introduction to all the fundamentals of hard science and cosmology, and you're determined enough (slash clever enough) to persist through some rather dry writing.

The month of January is flying (rocking?) by. Here is a cool pamphlet from Britain. Allward, Maurice F and Taylor, John W. R. Illustrated by Taylor, John W. R. ABC Rockets and Space Travel. London : Ian Allan. (64 p.) 19 cm. Softcover 1956. Part of the "ABC Aircraft Books" series. Filled with black and white drawings and pictures it is a basic guide to rocket theory and current rocket developments. The ABC Aircraft Books series was one of those trainspotter-type of pamphlets for those who liked that sort of thing. Another one to get more scans from when I dig it out of the archives.

Toys in Space #5 A beautiful punch-out book from the height of the space race. Astronauts: Exciting, accurate punch-outs ready to assemble: Including Redstone Rocket, Ground Control Center, Launching the Atlas, and Recovery of the Astronaut. (1961) What more do you need to re-enact your own space program? I like the astronauts and ground crew very much. The astronauts all seem to express personality and you get to choose who goes up first and who works Ground Control. My favorite of this set is my "desk jockey action figure". He and the people like him were the heroes of those early days. While the astronaut was just "spam in a can" they had to monitoring second by second this risky ballistic flight (well technically they did make orbit). Notice the "view wheel" so you could simulate what it was like to look at the capsule control panel (window) while you were up in space.
An out-of-this-world ABC primer from astronaut to zenith and beyond!\nA is for astronaut B is for black hole C is for constellation . . .
