Amazon.co.ukOver at the Unmannedspaceflight forum I have described the book a bit and was amazed about Paolo's acknowledgments page and there are rare Mariner photos on pages 36 + 77 + 79 and there are some interesting appendices IP: Logged |

The story will continue in future volumes in this series.
