This book, in a series of pretend articles, talks about the important events in our explorations of space. It begins with famous astronomers and astronomical theory (the world is round, the earth orbits the sun, the discoveries of various planets, etc.), and eventually moves onto rockets, the space race, and modern space exploration. This is a good overview of space exploration, with articles that give good descriptions of their subjects.
