Editor's Notes and Comments:
Amazon.com:
The curator of NASA's art collection and the agency's chief historian have collaborated to put together this arresting collection of paintings, drawings, and sculptures representing more than 30 years of space exploration. From the Mercury flights to the Mars Pathfinder mission, artists interpret the sights and emotions of each journey. Some focus on the astronauts, some on the machinery, some on the behind-the-scenes action. Each work is unique, whether realistic or impressionistic. This is a gorgeous book--perfect for space buffs, science historians, and anyone interested in a different perspective on human efforts to explore the universe.

Mr. Bertram Ulrich demonstrates rare talent in picking out selections from NASA's art collection that are emblematic of different period's of the Agency's history.

Mary Kalamaras was the in-house STC editor not the author. Please correct. I wanted, when planning the publication of this book, to publish an exciting and riveting history of the space program. I wanted to illustrate it with the extraordinary art collection that NASA has been building from its inception, inviting artists from Robert Rauschenberg to Norman Rockwell to attend its launches and observe and document its work. This published work is my dream come true. Brilliantly written and finally designed by Nai Chang, and superbly printed, it is everything a gift book is supposed to be: a great story informed by extraordinary images... in this case one of the most absorbing stories of the twentieth century.
