Space Exploration

Space Exploration (1992) by J.K. Davies – Chambers
Offered by Crappy Old Books – boldly going where better booksellers won’t.

Blast off into a pre-internet universe where Pluto was still a planet, the Space Shuttle reigned supreme, and Mars rovers were just twinkles in NASA’s eye. J.K. Davies’ Space Exploration (1992) is a punchy, well-illustrated guide to humanity’s attempts to escape Earth, written in the days when encyclopedias were printed, not Googled. Expect rockets, moon landings, Cold War rivalries, and just a touch of wide-eyed optimism.

Our copy? It’s orbiting the outer edges of “acceptable condition.” Bent corners, faded cover, possibly annotated by a young astronomer-in-training with a blunt HB pencil.
