TOP REVIEWS FROM A BRIEF HISTORY OF HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT
Excellent material although I found the interface between the course and tests to be clunky.
It would have been interesting to her more about the Soyuz missions.
A good course, but a few slight errors and the lack of the last modules leave it at 4/5 stars.
This is an awesome course. It was heartening to know the historical background of human spaceflight!
Superior course to gain understanding of human spaceflight from its beginning up to Skylab.
