 50 YEARS OF ROCKETS & SPACECRAFT U. S. manned space flight began in the Rocket City, Huntsville, Alabama. It’s the home of the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center, world’s premier rocket center. The men and women, who made up the Marshall team, tell their story in, “50 Years of Rockets and Spacecraft.” It’s an exciting space history lesson beginning with Alan Shepard’s flight on the Mercury -Redstone and continuing with Saturn rocket rides to the moon, Skylab, Space Shuttle, International Space Station, Hubble, Ares and the future. Wernher von Braun’s personal Weekly Notes, recently discovered in the archives, are published and reviewed for the first time.

The stories range from humorous anecdotes to gut -wrenching decisions required to safely flying humans to this new frontier. 50 Years of Rockets and Spacecraft is the Marshall team’s story--first-person account--of the dramatic and historic space flight accomplishments that have taken place at the world’s premier rocket center.
