An objective and authoritative account of the early experiments, present developments and future plans of the scientific teams - both in America and Russia - charged with the task of landing men on the moon. It discusses the various obstacles to space flight and the problems of providing food, air, protection and comfort for the inmates of the space craft; and the proposals for "moon stations," the bases which will ultimately be expected to provide permanent accommodation for moon explorers. The author has had access to a great deal of information which has not been generally available to the public and reveals several details about Russian moon-probes which were obtained by American Intelligence. This book, with its excellent illustrations mainly chosen from the latest published pictures of current research programmes, is an exhaustive but readable study of a field of human endeavour that is very much in the news.
