Discover some of the fastest vehicles ever made!
Rockets are the most powerful vehicles ever built, carrying us to the Moon and beyond. In this book, you can read about the huge forces rockets create as they blast into space, and learn how they've developed over the last 1,000 years.
This book is part of the Maximum Speed speed, a collection of books that take a close look at record-breaking vehicles and the people who build, drive and pilot them. Each book details how each craft has evolved over time, and how they're engineered for extreme performance. These books are the perfect introduction for future engineers and designers aged 9+.
