Cory Doctorow has a great Review of “T-Minus: The Race to the Moon“, the story of the space race. Unfortunately this may be the only way to teach kids about history; through graphic novels.
With T-Minus Ottaviani once again brings the human side of science to life, conveying the passion, the wonder, and the frustrations of the scientists and engineers who “fought” the space race on both sides of the Iron Curtain. Superbly researched, T-Minus never lets go of the story, but still finds many sneaky ways of inserting the hard data about the rockets, their capabilities, and the scientists who worked on them into the book.
T-Minus: graphic novel tells the history of the space race – Boing Boing.
