Krafft Ehricke (1917-1984) was a space visionary who made significant contributions to astronautics and laid the philosophical basis for space exploration. Marsha Freeman's book benefits from a collaborative relationship she shared with Ehricke for the last few years of his life. Ehricke came to the United States as part of the German rocket team, following the end of World War II. But from the age of 12, his eyes had been fixed firmly on the stars. In his youth, he used his imagination to describe what manned trips to the moon and planets would entail, and then spent his adult career working to make those visions become a reality. The book brings back into public light Krafft Ehricke's contributions as well as papers, article, speeches, and interviews that have been unavailable to the public.
