Hardcover. Etat : Good. Into Space: An Interplanetary Preview by P. E. Cleator is a pioneering work of popular astronautics written at a time when space travel was still largely theoretical. Cleator, founder of the British Interplanetary Society and one of Britain's foremost advocates of rocketry, explains the scientific principles, engineering challenges, and future possibilities of space flight in language accessible to the general reader.
