One Giant Leap: Iconic and Sweet Inspiring Space Race Inventions That Shaped History, by Charles Pap

One Giant Leap: Iconic and Sweet Inspiring Space Race Inventions That Shaped History, by Charles Pappas, was received direct from the publisher. Interestingly enough, this is the second book review in a row, by myself, about the US space race with the titles being partially the same. Why is this? This is due to 2019 being the fiftieth anniversary of the first moon walk by Neil Armstrong and crew. Space race based inventions brings to mind, for those of us old enough, things like the drink Tang or those pens that write upside down. This book shows and describes many more items, some you may never have even thought of. The book also is part memoir of the space race history, as would be expected. If you or someone you know is interested in diapers, dust, crumbs, sandwiches or UFO’s, this is a must read.
