Vintage Entering Space, An Astronauts Odyssey, Joseph P. Allan, Hardcover. Measures about 10" by 10". 239 pages. Very good condition. Has dust cover.
Embark on a visual journey through the cosmos with this vintage 1984 hardcover edition of Entering Space: An Astronaut's Odyssey. Written by NASA astronaut Joseph P. Allen, who flew on the fifth Space Shuttle mission in 1982, this 239-page volume provides an authentic first-hand account of life aboard the shuttle orbiter. The book is famously "profusely illustrated," containing over 200 spectacular color photographs from NASA’s collection that detail every phase of a mission—from the intense vibrations of launch to the serene challenges of working in zero gravity.
Measuring 10" by 10", this square-format "coffee table" book is in very good condition and includes its original dust jacket. This specific copy is the revised and enlarged edition, featuring additional content on the successful rescue mission of the Westar and Palapa satellites. It is a quintessential addition for collectors of space race memorabilia, aviation history, or anyone captivated by the golden era of the Space Shuttle program.
This item is vintage, over 40 years old. While it appears to be in very good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
