The Astronaut Almanac -- Vol. 1 -- Pilot Astronauts

NASA has selected 145 pilot astronauts since 1959. Some, such as Neil Armstrong, will live forever in the history books. Most are far less known, but equally remarkable individuals. This beautiful book, with its striking cover, contains a biography (and photograph) for each pilot astronaut. If you, or someone you care about, aspires to a career as an astronaut, there is no better preparation than reading about the people who succeeded.
