Jonathan H. Ward

    Jonathan H. Ward prináša do histórie kozmonautiky jedinečné perspektívy, zamerané na ľudský rozmer vesmírnych misií. Jeho hlboký záujem o vesmír, formovaný raným vesmírnym vekom a prácou v múzeu, sa snúbi s odbornými znalosťami v oblasti organizačného rozvoja. Ward s vášňou poukazuje na kľúčovú rolu všetkých zúčastnených, nielen vedenia, pri dosahovaní vesmírnych cieľov. Jeho písanie tak odhaľuje fascinujúce príbehy o ľuďoch, ktorí umožňujú prieskum vesmíru.
