I am glad that I purchased it. I would have given it another star if it had been longer. At 68 (and having followed the space program since I was 8 years old) I know a little bit about many of these stories. However, Mr. Pyle gives a great deal of additional details that make them fascinating. To many, it is absurd to consider that our military actually considered a rocket propelled by nuclear bombs. We're not talking about bombs exploding in deep space (this is still being considered in the future.) As Mr. Pyle notes, this is from liftoff on earth. No one stopped to consider the radiation hazards of such a rocket. Once they did, the program was shelved. There are other examples of ideas that are amazing, some which actually worked - at least in some form, and often years later. If you are interested in the Space Age, this book is truly fascinating. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ New Stories for Old Spacemen (and Spacewomen) *by P***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2019* At my age (60), I can remember the moon race and what we were told would follow it. As a space-flight enthusiast, I tend to know most of the things that would interest a guy like me. This book covers some of those things, but adds fresh material I hadn't known. It goes into details that, for reasons of secrecy or potential embarrassment, one or more governments haven't wanted to publicize. Some of those are rather bittersweet reading, as they touch on the almost-but-not-quite demises of branches of NASA's agenda that could have been much greater than they really were. (Imagine what ISS would be today, for example, if Skylab were part of it; could have happened, but things didn't work out that way.)Highly recommended to all us space nuts. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just my style *by P***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2016* Everyone has their weakness when it comes to books. Murder mysteries. Romance novels. History. Mine is the "gee I didn't know that" genre, especially if it's related in any way to my second favorite ... outer space.This book is a cornucopia of facts, trivia and well, amazing stories about anything (and seemingly everything) that's out of this world, specifically missions that were conceived, attempted or didn’t quite make it. The book reads in some ways like a novel, in some ways like a documentary and yet in other ways like science fiction couched in reality (think Star Trek). What I’m saying is that the author obviously is “into” the subject and has created a book that’s difficult to set aside. For me it was just the right book to curl up with on chilly Autumn evenings with a cup of hot cocoa just like I used to do when I was a kid. But I don’t think you will have to be a scifi fan to enjoy it, it’s just darn good writing.A couple of important notes that DO NOT affect this review or rating. The advance copy I read was uncorrected for spelling. That's okay, my brain seems to self-correct such things. The printing and formatting of the book I read also may not be exactly the same as what ends up on the bookshelves, but I just want to mention in passing that when I ordered it I somehow thought it would be larger. I hope the publisher considers making it available in a larger format binding, it would be a good title for gifting or coffee table display. --- ## 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.vu/products/38664157-amazing-stories-of-the-space-age-true-tales-of-nazis](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/38664157-amazing-stories-of-the-space-age-true-tales-of-nazis) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
