Space is far bigger than humanity can conceive. Although our ancestors examined the skies to make sense of the Universe, the advent of space exploration in its truest sense came just a moment ago in our evolutionary timeline. This book begins with the development of astronomy, including notable characters, scientific breakthroughs and pinnacle moments.
