       As Los Alamos scientists race to deliver the first atomic bomb, Edward Teller is working on something even bigger...

       This short, but critically important program consumed $426 million of NASA’s budget in just two years but it not only proved the worthiness of new hardware, such as the hydrogen-propelled Centaur booster stage, but also that of the robust and ingenious Surveyor probes.

       For most of the last hundred years Einstein’s Theory of Relativity has symbolized the pinnacle of human conception. Thanks mostly to a journalist who couldn’t be bothered to investigate his story; most people were led to believe that the famous theory was only comprehensible to a handful of brilliant physicists. Nothing could be further from the truth, but back when this book was written this intimidating baggage had already been placed aboard Einstein’s wagon. The author, Garrett Putnam Serviss, was a popularizer of science and astronomy for the Hearst newspaper group. He wrote many excellent books and magazine articles and so, as you will see in Fadman’s introduction, he was the obvious choice to put together this companion piece for the proposed movie of the same name.

       Spectacular and detailed new poster showing ALL 39 Apollo/Saturn launches in both diagram and photograph. Many of these launches have long been forgotten but this poster portrays the early era of the Apollo test program right on through to its spectacular conclusion with the joint US/USSR Apollo/Soyuz mission.

Did you know that there were 39 Apollo/Saturn launches? This poster tells you launch dates, payloads, apogees, orbital altitudes and other significant details about the flights. From the smallest and humble Launch Escape Pad Aborts all the way through to the gigantic Skylab/Saturn V payload, this poster chronicles the entire evolution of the Apollo test and flight program from 1963 through to 1975. Every single launch is shown IN COLOR. Some of these color pictures cannot be found even on the Internet!

Also an almost two foot tall rendering of the mighty Saturn V showing details of the vehicle, accompanied by thrust numbers, measurements and maximum achieved throw weights.

Finally the crew names and mission patches for every manned Apollo mission are arrayed down the side of this spectacular and beautifully detailed poster.

24" by 19" on heavy 80 pound stock. This one just cries out to be framed!

       Did you know that when H G Wells masterpiece War Of The Worlds was first released it was serialized in several of William Randolph Hearst's newspapers around the USA? The series was so successful that Hearst immediately commissioned his own science writer Garrett P Serviss to create a sequel to run consecutively after "Worlds" concluded. Edison's Conquest Of Mars became the world's first techno thriller with all manner of firsts included in the story. In his memoirs rocket genius Robert Goddard talks of the books influence on him as a boy, inspiring him to dream of traveling to the stars.
