Challenge of the Stars

Más información sobre el libro

An illustrated tour through the solar system as a place to be explored, not merely encountered in a library. "I welcome this book by David Hardy and my old friend Patrick Moore, because it provides a heady mixture of education, entertainment—and inspiration. We need the latter, now that the excitement of the Apollo program has ebbed, and so many voices are asking 'Why go to the planets?' David Hardy's poetically luminous paintings are a reminder that the Moon is not the goal, but merely the beginning, of real space exploration." —Arthur C. Clarke (from the Foreword)
