This was soooo cool to read!!! I have been a space nerd since the first time I learned the solar system wasn’t the whole universe, just a blip on the radar of the vastness of our existence. So when I saw this book pop up, my inner childhood astronaut (decked in a winter coat, ski pants, and fish bowl on my head) went giddy with excitement. The pictures are so detailed and impressive, and the detail descriptions along with anecdotes are charming, informative, and enthusiastic.
Thank you so much for the ARC!!!!

This would be a great coffee table book for any space lover. The art throughout the book is really nicely done.
I really enjoyed the informative parts too.
Overall this would be a nice gift item.

The Art of NASA would make a beautiful coffee table book and an ideal gift for an astronomer or space enthusiast. By far my favourite section was the final chapter entitled "The Expanse", which includes a wonderful watercolour of JWST's primary mirror. The commentary was interesting and understandably NASA-centric (rather than having an international flavour). I would have loved to have heard more from the artists themselves about working at this interface between science and art.

A beautifully illustrated book! There are some really great pictures, I definitely need this for my couch table - not just something for space fans to look through!
