DURING the cold war, the US air force tested thousands of ballistic missiles at its range in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Using archive photographs, Joel Powell documents the history of the site from its inception in 1950, when the UK agreed to allow missiles to fly over Bermuda, to the military and scientific launches of today, which have included the twin Mars Exploration rovers. The book is dense with detail, even listing launches by year, but there is plenty in this illustrated history of the premier US space launch site for casual readers to enjoy.
