Previously classified information and interviews with Wernher von Braun and his staff provide new insights into the development and offshoots of rocketry during and after World War II.

This book, a companion volume to the biographical memoir, is a unique collection of photographs compiled from von Braun's life, spanning his childhood through Peenemunde, White Sands, Redstone and NASA-Marshall Space Flight Center to his final years in Washington, D.C.

Discusses the sun, planets, meteors, comets, asteroids, and other aspects of the solar system.

Traces the development of rockets from the Middle Ages to modern times.
