Book Reviews of The Story of Space Station Mir
Book Review: I'm glad to have this publication on my bookshelf
Summary: 4 Stars
The book offers a very good coverage of the station history and visitors. It is a step in the right direction and provides a balancing view to a propaganda generated by publications hailing NASA as the only winer in cosmic space. In this way it's a very refreshing read. Next, I would like to see a story about Lunochod (Russian automated lunar explorer)
I find the language a bit "wooden", which might be a result of a direct translation from Russian documentation. Also, I've had an overwhelming impression that the author had not done much research in astronautic terms, and one can see semantic void encompassing scientific data included in the book.
