Description:What we know today about the Moon, Mars, and Venus has been erected on a colorful foundation of human experience reaching back to the 1960s. Where to begin?- A flawless machine telling us that Mars had life was conjured-up by a guy who’d only been trying to provide clean water.- Soviet moon rovers were puppeteered by hush-hush five-man teams working behind three layers of guarded gates inside a top-secret, off-the-map town without even a name.- The dreamers responsible for landing on Venus realized that dropping down through heavy clouds of sulfuric acid and 900-degree heat was best accomplished by surfing. - Soviet Russia’s director of planetary missions absolutely hated the job. But he spent fifteen years there anyway, enduring a paranoid bureaucracy where even the copy machines were strictly regulated.Why did these people do it? Drawn to the unknown – to the majestic mystery of just what lay out there in the great beyond – they submitted to curiosity and wonder. In sum, Infinity Beckoned.This new work by Jay Gallentine delivers a rich complement of never-before-heard stories from first-person perspectives. Built upon a slew of brand-new interviews, Infinity Beckoned provides an immediate human context. It’s not even about space so much as it is about driven people engaged in brand-new undertakings. Learn how the clean-water machine got to Mars. How the top-secret town came to be. Learn much more: all from the point of view of those who actually lived it, and whose tireless efforts have expanded our knowledge of the inner solar system.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
