Summary

When Russia sent Sputnik 1 into space, the country launched not only a satellite but a new age. Many popular stories about American advancements during the space age have gotten some facts wrong and left out others altogether. Fact and Fiction of the Space Age dives into the myths about the history of NASA and space exploration and brings the truth to light.
