I wish they'd make an updated edition!!!!1

Well I would have given this book 5 stars but it is a bit out of date an updated edition would be very helpful. But besides that the book is an awesome book giving a brief history of a program and it's goals. It has about EVERY mission launched up to then and a brief history of the mission, date launched, date re-entered atmosphere. Diagrams, launch vehicles used. Very good I have not seen a comparible book to this except for It's Soviet counterpart the "The Encyclopedia of Soviet Spacecraft". Both of these books are a Must have for an all-in one information source.
