"This is a scientifically vivid and intensely personal book that explores the people and their relationships as much as the technology. . . . It's a grand chronicle of an overlooked human adventure, and also asks some difficult questions about the direction of the current space program. Recommended for all space fans, and for historians too." -- Focus, December 2003

"Zimmerman, an essayist and historian of space, has created an essential tool for 'space junkies' and the libraries that serve them. . . . Not only is the book useful for quick fact checks but it invites readers to stay awhile. . . . If humans launched it into space, you can read about it here." --Booklist
"The Chronological Encylopedia of Discoveries in Space is no passionless compendium of information.
