CONQUEST OF SPACE

by Lasser, D.

New York, 1931: Penguin Press, 271 pages, OP

Not only America's first, but the English language's first, book on rocketry as applied to space travel, "Conquest of Space" did much to open up interest in the US and abroad on the possibility of manned exploration of space. It discusses the meaning of space flight, space flight in literature, rockets, the spaceship, travel in space, barriers to space flight, etc.
