T-Minus: The Race to the Moon by Jim Ottaviani

4.0

As American scientists worked furiously to design spacecraft that would put a man on the moon (as Kennedy challenged them to do in 1961), Russian scientists were working just as hard. T-Minus chronicles the Space Race and the many successful and unsuccessful American and Russian missions that led up to the historical 1969 moon landing. The book is very detailed and will please any young scientists curious about the history of the space program. An author's note includes suggestions of resources for further study. Pair this one with Catherine Thimmesh's Team Moon and Tanya Lee Stone's Almost Astronauts.
