Read the compelling story behind America's half-century space
exploration. Through 318 images, see how the space program transformed
Cape Canaveral from a traditional citrus production and tourist area
into the world's most influential high-tech space center in the nation.
From its first launch of a two-stage rocket in 1950 to the latest Space
Shuttle missions in 2010, Cape Canaveral has made more successful
launches into orbit than any other site in the world. A great souvenir
for both visitors and residents, this book is also a wonderful resource
for space historians worldwide.
