From the publisher

The main body of "The Infinite Journey" is divided into ten thematic chapters representing entire space programs or initiatives:
-- Mercury Program
-- Gemini Program
-- Apollo Program
-- Post-Apollo
-- Magellan and Galileo probes
-- Landsat series
-- International Space Station
-- Mars
-- The Shuttle
-- Deep Space
-- Exploration

Following each chapter summary is the heart of the eyewitness experience -- a collection of related "break-out" stories that feature first-hand accounts of space history. Selected by NASA's Chief Historian, Dr. Roger D. Launius, each story is supported by breathtaking NASA photographs and allows the reader to relive decades of NASA's past and present and look to the future.

Delivering a unique and privileged perspective to each space story covered, "The Infinite Journey" features numerous personal recollections, anecdotes, and commentaries from both NASA "insiders" and respected personalities outside the agency. Whether it concerns the poignant, dramatic moments when the Apollo 13 astronauts were nearly lost forever to space or COBE's delivery of the first faint echoes of our universe's birth, each story will delight and inspire readers with personal accounts by participants. Astronauts, scientists, engineers, mission specialists, flight controllers, journalists, broadcasters, astronomers, artists, writers, environmentalists, and historians will share their experiences and perspectives in a way that will make this book a true time capsule.
