Paper Astronaut

[Gharbad]

Hey guys, I just came back from the bookstore and found two awesome books.
The first is Collective Electrodynamics, which builds up electromagnetics from quantum dynamics, but I guess you won't be too interested in that

The second is Paper Astronaut, by Juliette Cezzar.
If you remember, she also put out this book:
Another new book

In this case it's now space craft!
Amazon.com: Paper Astronaut: The Paper Spacecraft Mission Manual (9780789318817): Juliette Cezzar, Buzz Aldrin: Books

Has an introduction by Buzz Aldrin, some general space flight info, followed by a page or two on a ton of historical space craft. Full page photos, a few paragraphs on each, mission/craft stats, scale comparison charts, pages of mission insignia, and a glow in the dark cover even!

At the back you have 20 punch out models. They look very nice, though I haven't built any yet as I just bought it.

Here's the list:
Sputnik 1
Explorer 1
Little Joe
Vostok 1
Mercury capsule
Gemini-Titan stack
Gemini capsule
Soyuz capsule
Proton rocket
Saturn V
Apollo command and service module
Skylab
Viking 1 lander
Voyager 1 (= 2)
Space shuttle Columbia
Mir space station
Hubble telescope
International space station
Shenzou 7
Ares 1

As you can see quite a lot of cool stuff!

Edit:
It turns out every craft they talk about has a model, so that's all there is. Some have several pages of photos.

I originally bought the book for my son, with the intent to give it to him as a Xmas Gift. But now I'm not so sure, I think I want to keep it for myself!:D
