In HOTOL & Skylon: The Story of Britain’s Spaceplanes, Rob Coppinger covers the story of both in great detail, with the reminiscences of many who played integral roles in these ambitious programs. The book shines when it captures the enthusiasm and excitement of those involved, and there are extensive quotes from many who devoted years of work on these projects.
Anyone seeking a short but comprehensive introduction to human spaceflight would do well to start with this book. It reviews its history, highlights the accomplishments and tragedies, and describes the equipment used. It also looks at living in space, what space travelers experience, and how they work.
Back in 1966, Luna 9 became the first spacecraft to soft-land on the Moon. Apogee Books has provided an English-language NASA translation of a detailed report originally released by the USSR Academy of Sciences.

This article has been added to the Astronomy Link List.
He has already done quite a bit for space explorations, even if you don’t count Apollo 11. In 1959, he wrote a doctoral thesis at MIt on orbital mechanics and maneuvering which became the basis for how everyone in space does rendezvous and docking procedures. During the Gemini program, he developed the techniques for working during EVA that are still used today on the ISS, as well as the familiar underwater training for EVA. In effect, he is as responsible for the construction of the ISS as anyone presently working for NASA,ESA or the RSA.
There is no telling what he will be able to accomplish if he becomes NASA Administrator.
