A fascinating view of the future from the past

This book is a fascinating and interesting book where the editors and the authors tell the story of going from the science fiction of space to the reality of space science. The greatest parts are when Walt Disney and Wherner von Braun worked together and created the first series of TV programs in the 50's that generate a great deal of interest that even President Eisenhower asked Disney for a copy of the show. A "must" for people interested in the history of Space Age.
