This book is the fascinating tale of the US/Soviet space race. The writing is excellent, and the art is perfectly suited for the subject - the narrative is literally framed with the launches, failed and successful, on the path to this goal.This is mostly an ensemble cast, but if there's a single star it's the mysterious genius in charge of the Soviet space program - The Designer. I didn't really know much about him (we still don't, in absolute terms, but I sure know a lot more now). And in fact the USSR most likely would have beaten the US to the Moon if not... well I won't spoil the why.While the art may be appropriately clinical, the story is as much human as technical, and the book is a slowly building crescendo to a double page spread that to my surprise actually choked me up a bit. I had not to that point realized how pulled into the book I was.Some of Ottaviani's other books are a bit too introspective for me to recommend to just anyone, but this and Bone Sharps I would recommend to anyone of any age. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ For Tthose With Or Without Nostalgia *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 16, 2014* If you grew up during the space age this book will instantly take you back to those days. Both the Americans and the Soviets had "the right Stuff" but the Soviets held the lead and, as this book demonstrates, the USSR's hammer and sickle may very well have been the first to be planted on the moon if not for the sudden death of Russian rocket genius Korolev. The illustrations are great. When the Russians speak, the occasional letter appears backwards. It seems well researched and is well plotted giving proper praise of each triumph whether it be East or West. A great read for those who recall the heady days of NASA or those too young to have experienced the race to the moon. My only complaint is that it is too short. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ More than the history... *by L***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 12, 2017* ...of the space race. It shows the competition of two systems towards the same goal, and does not leave out the setbacks.Central organization vs decentralized approaches, strict vs "try to guide" public affairs management, system vs personal responsibilities.This is an excellent book. It is as much a comparative study of management and economy styles as it is a history of the aera now called the space race.While it emphasizes the american side, it does not look to the soviet side without respect and sympathy.It is among the few books I recommend to gift to others. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/9385663-t-minus-the-race-to-the-moon](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/9385663-t-minus-the-race-to-the-moon) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
