The First Book of Space Travel by Jeanne Benedict is a young readers book published in 1953. At that time space travel was an exciting idea. A description of what space is and what might be seen while rocketing through the universe took young readers imagination to outer space. The book provided scientific information on planets, moons, and a discussion of gravity. Rockets, space ships, and even the clothing of an astronaut are envisioned.
