Beyond: The Astonishing Story of the First Human to Leave Our Planet and Journey into Space by Stephen Walker

adventurous emotional informative medium-paced

4.25

I don't normally like non fiction but I found this book about the space race of the 1960s to be very engaging.

It's a tale of how the USSR and USA battled to become the first nation to send a man into space.

I was surprisingly quite affected reading about the animals that were experimented with, and who were sent to space ahead of the humans.

A very engaging book, well worth a read for anyone interested in the topic.
