Breve historia de la carrera espacial es un repaso histórico de la astronáutica y de los múltiples esfuerzos del ser humano por conocer qué hay más allá de la Tierra. Desde la observación de los astros y el posterior estudio de las leyes físicas que rigen el Universo, hasta las exploraciones espaciales recientes. El libro repasa continuamente los aportes científicos de Tsiolkovski, Oberth, Goddard, Einstein, Hohmann e incluso describe cómo este último encontró un camino sencillo para viajar a otros planetas antes de que se inventase la nave espacial. Aparte de estos conceptos, el libro detalla con gran precisión cómo, después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, esta necesidad de ir al espacio se transformó en una competencia armamentística que dio lugar al inicio de una carrera espacial entre la Unión Soviética y Estados Unidos con el Sputnik como el pistoletazo de salida y la Luna como objetivo final. 10
