Beschreibung:
"The Conquest of Space" has not been in print since 1931, yet it still stands up to scrutiny. The lucid style with which Lasser explains the basic concepts of rocketry make it a delight for anyone to read. This book is a milestone work of spaceflight literature and was state of the art in 1931.
