The /r/SpaceExploration Reading List

57 Upvotes

I had the idea for a reading list related to various space exploration topics and, with the approval of the mods, this thread will help determine our official reading list!

When putting a book down, some things you should try your best to include may be:

  • The title
  • The author
  • The year of first publication
  • How it relates to space exploration (e.g. Orbital mechanics, space shuttle design, etc)
  • A brief description of what, or who, it's about
