Into That Silent Sea

"Into That Silent Sea: Trailblazers of the Space Era 1961-1965" is a 2007 non-fiction book by space historians Francis French and Colin Burgess. Drawing on a number of original personal interviews with astronauts, cosmonauts and those who worked closely with them, the book chronicles the American and Russian programs from 1961 onwards, from the first human spaceflight of Yuri Gagarin through the Mercury, Vostok and Voskhod flights, up to the first space walk by Alexei Leonov.

The book is the first volume in the "Outward Odyssey" spaceflight history series by the University of Nebraska Press. The space program history continues chronologically in the folllow-on book In the Shadow of the Moon: A Challenging Journey to Tranquility, 1965-1969.
