The Amazing Story of Unmanned Space Exploration

Dreams of Other Worlds

Timeo Williams

Very well written. Converting a dense topic with scientific details to a a story of poetic grace is no easy task, but it was done well.
The book details among the most important unmanned space vehicles sent out into space. They include the Mars rovers( Opportunity, Discovery and Curiosity),Viking, Voyager 1 and 2, Cassini, Stardust, SOHO, Hipparcos, Spitzer, Chandra, Hubble, WMAP and the upcoming James Webb telescope.

The backstories behind each mission is an exciting read for all.
