Humanity has always looked at the stars. The night sky beckoned, and for many millennia we wanted to fly into the mysterious darkness. But only in the second half of the 20th century were spaceships able to overcome the Earth's gravity. Flights around the Earth, spacewalks, landing on the Moon! Automatic probes were sent to the near and distant planets of the Solar System. It seemed that a little more - and we would begin to colonize Mars and Venus, and then we would set our sights on distant galaxies.
But space exploration turned out to be a complicated, dangerous and very expensive business. Only in the 21st century did new technologies and new talents bring back the dream of space. We learned to build more reliable, powerful and inexpensive launch vehicles. Flights to the Moon have resumed, and the colonization of Mars is now being talked about as a reality. We are in space again! We are reaching for the stars again!
The author of the book is Andrey Zhvalevsky, a famous writer, screenwriter, playwright, winner of numerous literary awards for books for children and teenagers, written in collaboration with Igor Mytko and Evgenia Pasternak.
