Spacesuits by Amanda Young
Spacesuits have been as vital a factor in getting man safely to the moon as launch vehicles and spacecrafts. Dramatic photographs from the Smithsonian's collection and never-before- published historical images of spacesuit development and testing expose their fascinating history. From the initial designs of the 1930s to the spacesuits worn during the landmark Apollo-Soyuz programme of 1975, these incredible creations are documented in detail.Rory Hansen has spent a lifetime in aviation. He was a Navy carrier pilot, Learjet demonstration pilot, airline pilot, and general aviation experimental aircraft pilot. He built and flies two kit experimental airplanes. Writing and photography have been a lifetime passion. Before becoming a professional pilot, he was a full time kid and still hasn't grown out of that.
Amanda was born in the U.K. and has been drawing since the age of six. She immigrated to the U.S. A. as a young adult and earned a degree in fine art. She is now a naturalized citizen. Amanda has painted in watercolor, oil, pastel and acrylic mediums over the years as well as painting wall murals in businesses around the southwest U.S. This is her first book illustration project.
