Attention all you space lovers!! This is a fantastic introduction about the space program from the beginning. Follett publishing company had a few different learning game/ books. I dont have a handle on the date of manufacture, however it appears to be BEFORE space travel as it discusses what the plans are!
"Project Apollo is the biggest and most complicated of the American manned flight projects. Its goal is to land American explorers on the moon and bring them safely back to earth."
"Discovering Space is as modern as tomorrow - and just as exciting! Authentically illustrated discussions of space, development of space exploration...the how and why of space travel. In the educational Astronauts Adventure game - featuring a pop-up model in full dimension - you experience mans first journey to the moon much as it will be carried out selling in actual space."
Super hard to find if not rare. Missing four "counters", has all "markers" and game spinner. Book is complete but has pen marks on a few pages. Game board has a pop up model which needs to be glued down. Other than the four counters I believe it to be complete
