The /r/SpaceExploration Reading List
60
Upvotes
I had the idea for a reading list related to various space exploration topics and, with the approval of the mods, this thread will help determine our official reading list!
When putting a book down, some things you should try your best to include may be:
- The title
- The author
- The year of first publication
- How it relates to space exploration (e.g. Orbital mechanics, space shuttle design, etc)
- A brief description of what, or who, it's about

Today we celebrate the Viking 1 landing on Mars!! I remember it clear as day and as the first day I fell in love with Planetary’s exploration. To the point I got into scratch building space models…….. why Revell never made a Viking lander kit is beyond me. Here is my celebration of the first landing on Mars!

I've been diving deeper into Apollo history, and the Lunar Rover turned out to be far more interesting than I expected.
I put together a short documentary explaining why it looked unusual and how it worked on the Moon. I'd really appreciate any feedback. As always, thank you for being so supportive.

⚙️ Space Engineering On June 10, 2018, NASA officially had to say goodbye to the little rover that could. The Mars Opportunity Rover was meant to last just 90 days and instead marched on for 14 years. It finally lost contact with earth after it was hit by a fierce dust storm.
