You Will Go to the Moon- Vintage 1959, 50s space rocket exploration classic:
$25.68

This is one of the best illustrated books I\'ve ever seen. Not only are the illustrations breathtaking, but they have very real historical context. It was the 50\'s, and America was excited for space exploration, which eventually led to walking on the moon.

Rather than me say how awesome this book is historically let me copy and pastea reviewof this bookfrom Amazon (where the book is selling for lowest price of $50)-

\"This is an \"impressionable\" book of colossal proportions. The subject matter absolutely fascinated, inspired, challenged, and motivated a generation of American \"rocket scientists\" that would eventually come to operate the Space Shuttle and the Space Station. I am one of those. Born in 1960, I would end up participating in a work-study program with NASA\'s John F. Kennedy Space Center, earn an Aerospace Engineering degree, and operate the Space Shuttle--on the ground, that is! Of course, I am sure it stimulated many others that chose different fields of endeavor.
As a young \"Cat In The Hat\" reader I was enormously fascinated with this book. Yes, this book was distributed by mail to many young readers, right along with \"Green Eggs and Ham.\" What a time in history to begin learning. Imagine training to read with the imagination of Dr. Suess, to experience the creativity of Walt Disney, and be exposed to a vision of space travel by Wernher von Braun and his followers--all while the Mercury, Gemini and Saturn/Apollo programs hit the headlines and the TV screens!
With over forty years having passed, I suggest reading it again-or for the first time. On the one hand, you will find that much is fulfilled. Alas, on the other hand, the fact that the title is addressed to \"YOU\" should cause us all to reflect on the promises one generation makes to another...and inspire us all to action once again. This time to enable all those who would like to Go To The Moon! \"
