Zusammenfassung:Space sparks imagination, but nothing quite captures people's attention better than when we actually reach out and touch another world. Whether it's sending missions to the Moon, transporting rovers to trundle around Mars or landing Philae on a comet, the idea that we can not only picture these worlds from afar, but touch them is wonderfully inspiring, and it is through cutting-edge robotic technology that it is made possible. Here space expert Elizabeth Pearson delves into the fascinating robotic history of space exploration, from distant times when stars were an unreachable godly mystery, through the intense Space Race, Moon landings, Mars missions, to the future and just how close we are to setting foot on a new world.
