Shayler, David J. - Moule, Ian A
First Edition
Springer-Praxis Books in Space Exploration

ON 16 JUNE 1963 Soviet cosmonaut Valentine Tereshkova became the tenth person and first woman to orbit the Earth. It would be a further two decades before the second woman, also Russian, and then the first American female astronaut entered space. During the 1980s and 1990s over 50 females from around the world were selected for spaceflight training, with 40 achieving at least one flight. The road to space for women has been long and difficult but their commitment and contribution has been as dedicated as that of their male colleagues.
The story of women in space charts the pioneering aeronautical developments of the early decades of the 20th Century to the very start of human space exploration, and on to the Shuttle and space Station era. However, the story of women in space is not just about those who fly the missions, but also of those who work on the ground, or stay at horne with the family.
In Women In Space - Following Valentina David Shayler and lan Moule chronicle these missions into space, from the historic Vostok 6 in June 1963 to the tragedy of STS-107 40 years on. From the first pioneering steps, through the frustration and disappointments of the 1960s and 1970s, the triumphs and tragedies of the 1980s, to the current International Space Station Programme, women have played a crucial role in the space Programme, and this book celebrates their achievements.

Walter, Ulrich (deutscher Astronaut)
Erstausgabe

Ein Shuttleflug mit dem Astronauten Ulrich Walter wird zu einer Entdeckungsreise ins Universum: Wir lösen das Geheimnis unserer Herkunft (aus Sternenstaub!), erfahren vom großen Einfluss des Mondes, von der Besiedelung des Weltraums und sind überwältigt vom Anblick der Erde. Aus der unendlichen Weite des Alls betrachtet, stellen sich viele Fragen über die Welt, den Menschen und seine Bedeutung im Kosmos neu oder anders. Können wir die Welt wirklich mit unseren Sinnen erfassen? Und sind wir Menschen «die Krone der Schöpfung»? Auf diese Weise führt uns unsere Reise am Ende zu dem neuen Bild des Universums, das die Wissenschaften heute zeichnen.
