Libri di Paolo Ferri

The complex and fascinating world of space ventures.Earth is our world, while space is a hostile and merciless environment. To explore it, we have to completely reinvent our technology: vehicles other than those on Earth, artificial environments within the spacecraft to protect our life and physiological balance. The challenge of space exploration lies precisely in this: pushing the boundaries of knowledge and technology to push us farther and farther. Paolo Ferri, who led the European Space Agency's operations department for years, takes us into the behind-the-scenes of the space missions, revealing us the difficulties, the dead ends, and the unexpected triumphs. The result is a unique adventure to the edge of the universe, and a profound reflection on the potential and the limits of our scientific knowledge.
