A very enjoyable tale of how science fiction and science fact influenced each other in the creation of spaceships。

This book would get 4 stars if it wasn't for the extremely thin， small typeface used， against a busy background， making it really difficult to read。 The illustrations and photos， though， are amazing， and any fan of older science fiction， retro-sci-fi spaceships， and the history of rocketry will find it enjoyable。 This could also provide all sorts of ideas to the scratch building model rocket builder。 This book would get 4 stars if it wasn't for the extremely thin， small typeface used， against a busy background， making it really difficult to read。 The illustrations and photos， though， are amazing， and any fan of older science fiction， retro-sci-fi spaceships， and the history of rocketry will find it enjoyable。 This could also provide all sorts of ideas to the scratch building model rocket builder。 。。。more
