Spaceship Stories: Fight With Their Bare Hands To Make Man’s Dream Of Space Travel Come True

Space exploration belongs to our recent history. In fact, 2007 marked the first fifty-year celebrations of the launch of the Sputnik, the first artificial satellite. On the 4th of October 1957, Radio Moscow announced that the USSR had successfully launched a 59 cm diameter sphere, weighing 83 kg into orbit.

This book tells of man’s first step into outer space ... of the difficulties and dangers of reaching for the stars. It is also an exciting adventure. When young Joe Kenmore came to Bootstrap to install pilot gyros in the Platform he hadn’t bargained for sabotage or murder or love. But Joe learned that ruthless agents were determined to wreck the project. He found that the beautiful girl he loved, and men like The Chief, a rugged Indian steelworker, and Mike, a midget who made up for his size by brains, would have to fight with their bare hands to make man’s age-old dream of space travel come true!
