If you like
Basics of Space Flight, you will also like NASA/JPL's
Basics of Radio
Astronomy, which is another down-to-Earth workbook on an
out-of-this-world subject.
And for the younger audience, be sure to visit
The Space Place
site at JPL, a cool place where kids can explore and do spacey things.
Here are a few selected links related
to interplanetary space flight. Some appear elsewhere in Basics of Space Flight,
and some do not.
