Excerpt from A Trip to the Moon (From Earth to the Moon) There may be some here who remember that memorable night of August 19, 1887, when nearly all Berlin went out to those points in the suburbs of the city which the astronomers had designated as the most favorable for an observation of the phenomenon. Let us go back ln fancy to that time and see whether from our view-point we shall not have better luck than the millions who stationed themselves in the region of totality and were cheated of their great expectations by the ill-humored weather clerk. Should the clouds become obstreperous here in our lecture room, we shall at least know who is to blame and have the privilege of filing complaint with the management, which was not possible when the celestial show made so, colossal a fiasco on that occasion.

Like the other Sasek classics, these are facsimile editions of his original books. The brilliant, vibrant illustrations have been meticulously preserved, remaining true to his vision more than forty years later and, where applicable, facts have been updated for the twenty-first century, appearing on a "This is . . . Today" page at the back of each book. The stylish, charming illustrations, coupled with Sasek’s witty, playful narrative, make these books a perfect souvenir that will delight both children and their parents, many of whom will remember them from their own childhood. In This is the Way to the Moon, first published in 1963, Sasek rockets readers to Cape Canaveral—the space capital of the world, a science-fiction-turned-fact spot on the Florida coast—with a nostalgic look at the electronic brains that put our man up into space and brought him down again. Also included are the updated statistics about the lunar landing and a mini history of NASA’s space program.
