Space: The Grand Adventure Part 4: Stories Of Space Explorers And Distant Destinations

short description is not available

What is the beginning of everything, the end of time and space? The beginning of every end, and the end of every place? - Children's riddle, Anonymous. On its face a simple question, yet also profound. These fascinating programs explore all things of space; that vast void of which our Earth is just an infinitesimally small part. But are we that? ...in the grand scheme of our existence? This series also explores that question by examining man's role in space, what we have explored and what is yet to be explored - the celestial forces that pull and push, the objects that fly by and those that fly back, the distant and not-so-distant worlds, the stars from the Sun to the origins of the birth of the Universe's "Big Bang" ...all the splendor, the majesty, the mystery and the infinite beauty of the Cosmos. All part of Our Grand Adventure. In this volume, we explore: Sputnik, Virtual Reality Training, Space Safety, Weightlessness, Space Hibernation, Shuttle Pallet Satellite, Last Apollo Mission, COBE, Space Generation, Mars Orbiter, Hubble Launch, Moon Rock Fuel and more.
