This book reviews the history of man's interest in space and analyses the technological developments that have enabled him to explore this new frontier. The book also discusses the future – not only describing travel beyond the moon but also reporting changes that may occur on earth as a consequence of experiments in space.

The volume consists of alternating text chapters and picture essays. Some of the essays complement material covered in the preceding chapter (for example, Chapter 5 and the accompanying essay both deal with unmanned satellites); others supplement the text chapters with new material (Chapter 7 discusses planetary travel; Essay 7 describes recent space developments from moon landings to the coming space shuttle).

In the Appendix are a glossary of terms, a statistical chart of the planets, and a list of important events and people in space history.
