Overview

This is a sequel to the ground-breaking Challenge of the Stars , by Hardy & Moore, published by Mitchell Beazley in 1972. Dave Hardy is one of the world's most prominent space artists with many books to his credit and Patrick Moore is a household name to anyone with even the slightest interest in astronomy. 50 Years in Space is a comprehensively illustrated preview of our future in space and a review of past successes and failures. Hardy's llustrations show, for instance, how the surface of each planet and its moons was originally imagined by the writers when they worked together over 30 years ago and reveals how our knowledge has been vastly improved by data from satellites, probes and telescopes. Hardy and Moore also apply their knowledge and imagination to look into the future for space exploration and to create artist's impressions of worlds not visible with current technology. Hardy's vivid artwork and Moore's erudite but accessible text will please Hardy fans, amateur astronomers and new readers alike. Patrick Moore needs no introduction. Dave Hardy is the world's most renowned space artist. The hardback (2004) won the Sir Arthur Clarke award for best space book of the year and was shortlisted for a Hugo.
