Read the compelling story behind America’s half-century space exploration. Through 318 images, see how the space program transformed Cape Canaveral from a traditional citrus production and tourist area into the world's most influential high-tech space center in the nation. From its first launch of a two-stage rocket in 1950 to the latest Space Shuttle missions in 2010, Cape Canaveral has made more successful launches into orbit than any other site in the world. A great souvenir for both visitors and residents, this book is also a wonderful resource for space historians worldwide.

Donald D. Spencer is an internationally known educator and writer. He has written several books about Florida's history that feature vintage postcards. He lives in Ormond Beach, Florida.
