Description

Since 1961, the United States of America has launched men and women into the hostile vacuum of space. For the adventures on which they were about to embark, astronauts, associates, and designers commemorated each mission by creating a unique insignia that the crew could wear with pride on their spacesuits.

Space Mission Art collects every one of these iconic designs, plus sticker sheets, to celebrate the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, and Space Shuttle programmes. They are presented in full colour and glorious detail alongside the stories behind their design. There are also crew photos, mission facts, and trivia that reveal the human face of space exploration, capturing the comedy, tragedy, bravery, and beauty of these extraordinary adventures into the unknown.
