| Summary: | The exploration of space represents a cultural shift greater than the invention of agriculture or the arrival of the Industrial Revolution. It marks a biological leap as significant as the wriggling of the first fish onto land or the passage of the first primate from the jungle to the savannah. For the first time in human history, the sheer force of our curiosity has carried us beyond our own world. Space Age is the companion book to the extraordinary six-part PBS television series produced by WQED/Pittsburgh in association with the National Academy of Sciences. Written by journalist and filmmaker William J. Walter, it takes readers on an exciting and unexpected journey into the past and maps out strange and amazing possibilities for the future. It begins by telling the stories of the extraordinary rocket pioneers who made the primal dream of exploring the stars possible: Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, a deaf, small-town Russian schoolteacher, who in 1898 first calculated how to launch a rocket beyond Earth; Robert Goddard, the secretive and determined New England physics professor, who had the personality of a parson but the mind of a mad adventurer; and Hermann Oberth, a high school math teacher from Transylvania, whose failed effort to build a rocket for a publicity stunt in the 1920s became the first in a long line of rockets that led to the Saturn V booster - the mammoth ship that sent |
