About this product
Product Information
The world's first reusable spacecraft, the Space Shuttle launched like a rocket, landed like a glider and carried out complicated missions in between. Bold They Rise tells the story of the Space Shuttle through the personal experiences of the astronauts, engineers and scientists who made it happen - in space and on the ground, from the days of research and design through the heroic accomplishments of the programme to the tragic last minutes of the Challenger disaster.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
