Reviews
A sweeping chronology of human flight. Throughout, readers receive brief technical explanations, rich primary-source research, and intimate biographical details of many recognizable figures., For years, I've secretly longed for someone to take me by the hand and walk me through time and space--someone who would marvel with me at every strange thing we encountered and pepper his scientific discourse with lines of poetry. This is what Potter has done. , Despite covering familiar ground, Potter delivers anenthralling account of the golden age of manned space travel that emphasizesthe transcendent experiences of everyone involved, and he makes a convincingcase that America lost something vital when it ended., "Beware, flat-earthers. Christopher Potter has mounted a powerful assault on your most cherished belief. In 1948, British astrophysicist Fred Hoyle made an intriguing prediction: "Once a photograph of the Earth, taken from the outside, is available .'.'. a new idea as powerful as any in history will be let loose." With The Earth Gazers, his beautifully written overview of our voyage into the heavens, Potter shows us how that cosmic forecast played out.", Potter pens this excellent account of the people and events that brought about the first photographs of the earth taken from outer space. Readable and fascinating, recommended for anyone interested in the history of space exploration.

Synopsis
It will soon be the fiftieth anniversary of the first manned mission to the moon, when men first saw for themselves the Earth as a sphere falling through space--they saw a world without borders and these images continue to give hope and inspire., Only twenty-four people have seen the whole earth. The most beautiful and influential photographs ever made were taken, almost as an afterthought, by the astronauts of the Apollo space program from the moon. They inspired a generation of scientists and environmentalists to think more seriously about our responsibility for this tiny oasis in space, this "blue marble" falling through empty darkness. The Earth Gazers is a book about the long road to the capture of those unforgettable images. It is a history of the space program and of the ways in which it transformed our view of the earth and changed the lives of the astronauts who walked in space and on the moon. It is the story of the often blemished visionaries who inspired that journey into space: Charles Lindbergh, Robert Goddard and Wernher Von Braun, and of the courageous pilots who were the first humans to escape the Earth's orbit. These twenty-four people saw Earth in all its singular glory, and the legacy of the stories of these "Earth Gazers," resonate richly even today., Only twenty-four people have seen the whole earth.

Auction said 12-15 days. Better clarity would have prevented lot of frustrationStreet Fighter II - Guile (Player 2) Figure - 6 Inch (Nr. 365698737394)
- 2***0 (4)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThe basket is perfectly what I ordered and as listed. It came in the factory packaging and was perfect upon delivery. Thank you postal service lol. The delivery took way longer than listed though, it was listed to come in a week from purchase, but took a whole month. I had some concerns at first, but communication with the company was top notch and they were very professional and answered most of my questions satisfyingly. Just prepare for a longer wait than listed, but I got what I bought lol.
