About

You are living in a time of change and progress. World War II is over, but the Cold War between the United States and its former ally, the Soviet Union, is on. The United States government is afraid the Soviet Union will use space to develop weapons with its space technology. We want to get there first! Will you help your country by developing the first space rocket, or perhaps moving to Cape Canaveral to train as an astronaut?

Reviews

"These titles aren't adventures per se but rather an engaging way to reach students hesitant about space science. Some of the "paths" simply end when that part of a mission concludes or the particular engineering problem is solved, while others continue to a final goal. Negative endings are possible, including being fired or getting space motion sickness. Some choices introduce moral dilemmas, while others simply involve choosing among relatively equal possibilities. . . .The first-person perspective is an effective means of getting readers passionate about space. No doubt these will inspire a few future engineers and astronauts."
