The Interstellar Age: The Story of the NASA Men and Women Who Flew the Forty-Year Voyager Mission

Got the book in good condition. The content of the book is also nice. Awesome read.

This is one of the best resource available to learn about Voyagers. The contents are splendid & takes you through an immersive environment of space journey as experienced by Voyagers themselves.

I totally adore the Voyagers, and this is a very accessible book around the amazing projects. It introduces terms I did not know, and I enjoyed reading the stories from people actually involved in the project. It charts as well the authors journey, it was really an incredible time to be in the industry

Amazing read and very detailed.

The Voyager program has certainly not received the attention of the Apollo program, but in many ways this is a program that is only there is you get interested and find out how amazing the whole thing is.I recently saw a PBS documentary where the author was interviewed and wanted to check out this book as a result. I am very glad I did. This is a history, but it isn't written in a straightforward fashion with the beginning of the program and culminating in what exactly since the problem is Voyager is still a viable operating program ( and recently the JPL - Jet Propulsion Laboratory - fired up thrusters that hadn't been activated in 37 years and corrected a slight deviation in attitude for this amazing machine) so there isn't an end with splashdown. But I love how the author did this and the narrative is so well done I read the whole thing through.Fascinating stuff. What is amazing is how the technology of 1975 essentially is out there and still produced a viable machine. Let that sink in that the program was able to proceed being able to fly-by planets like Jupiter and Neptune using a rare line-up of planets using low band technology that still has provided tremendous photographs and images, and it in a void of space beyond our system,Amazing stuff herein. Well worth reading.

Il libro mi è piaciuto molto perché è ricco di dettagli tecnici ma soprattutto è in grado di trasmettere l'enorme sforzo fatto e l’emozione provata da chi ha partecipato allo sviluppo di questa missione e alla sua esecuzione nel corso di oltre 40 anni.Voyager è probabilmente uno degli esperimenti scientifici meglio progettati e riusciti della storia e che ancora oggi non smette di fornirci risultati unici.Raccomando il libro a chi è appassionato di spazio ma più in generale a chiunque voglia comprendere a fondo il contesto e gli ideali che hanno guidato questa missione e soprattutto L e persone che hanno reso possibile tutto questo.

Excellent book, very well written.The author makes you aware of the enormous journey of the Voyager programme, and the groundbreaking technical achievements of the project.As the mission is still operational after 40(!) years, I would be more than interested in an update.One of the most interesting non fiction books I have ever read.
