ONCE UPON A TIME IN SPACE (HB)

Featuring full-colour photography from both personal collections of astronauts and NASA’s archives, the human story of space is told through intimate and powerful testimonies from the astronauts, scientists, engineers and space tourists who have lived it. 63 years ago, Yuri Gagarin became the first human to go into space. Since then, only 676 people have followed him but now, with huge technological advances bridging the gap between our planet and all that lies beyond, that number is about to rise. This is the story of how we’ve made it this far and where we’re about to go.
