TOP REVIEWS FROM A BRIEF HISTORY OF HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT
It's very knowledgeable course about space history ever I get. So nice and neatly presented work. Thank you for giving such a great experience.
Was very inspired after seeing all the efforts of mankind to travel into outer space. Very interesting Course and was very informative
Got to know about Soviet and US old space programmes and some of the classified video clips. A very helpful medium to gain knowledge.
Really enjoying this course hope you will do more courses on the Space program i.e. Space shuttles etc, and rocket science/maths would be good as well..
