From this it is a far cry to the present epoch of great floating palaces, with wondrous engines, measuring their tonnage and horse-power by scores of thousands, and able, through the marvel of Wireless, to keep in touch with the world on the most distant courses" (from the foreword by Sir Granville Ryrie, High Commissioner for Australia..

New York:: Macmillan,, 1977.. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Very Good copy with a small scuff to the front board with the boards bound upside down in a Very Good unclipped dust jacket with one short tape-repaired edge tear. Cunningham was a member of the Apollo 7 crew that mapped future landing sites for the first moon landing in 1969. On October 11, 1968, he occupied the lunar module pilot seat for the eleven-day flight of Apollo 7 - the first manned flight test of the third generation United States spacecraft. With Walter M. Schirra, Jr., and Donn F. Eisele, Cunningham participated in and executed maneuvers enabling the crew to perform exercises in transposition and docking and lunar orbit rendezvous with the S-IVB stage of their Saturn IB launch vehicle; completed eight successful test and maneuvering ignitions of the service module propulsion engine; measured the accuracy of performance of all spacecraft systems; and provided the first effective television transmission of onboard… Read More
