Here we go guys, I need a good accurate published resource, preferably a

book, about the Space program. I home school my son, and would like to
have
a good text dealing with the start of the manned spaceflight program,
and a
book detailing each of the elements ie Mecury, Gemini, Apollo, STS, ISS
etc.
All nominations appreciated. BTW the wife teaches spelling ;-)

Jim,
I would recommend "Apollo: Race to the Moon," the Cox/Murray book that
we Apollo era Flight Controllers believe is THE definitive book about
how we landed men on the Moon: http://www.apollostory.com/

Also, check out this publisher- Apogee:

Excellent Sy, thanks very much. I love the Apogee books. The wife
bought me the Virtual LM for Christmas and I love it.
