This was in 1967. I'm sure this was one of the many subtle ways the US Government encouraged our generation to investigate and/or invest our lives in science and tech.
I remember Rabbit Hill but not its sequel. As you might imagine, I devoured Hardy Boys mysteries, as well as Jay William's Danny Dunn series.
The above is a 1967 depiction of a rocket's trip to the moon.
The last book on the list, a Man from U.N.C.L.E. juvenile tie-in from Whitman, was only a foretaste of the Ace "adult" paperbacks and tons of other U.N.C.L.E. merch -- an addiction which remains to this day!
I couldn't find much online evidence of the Aero Space Reading Club. A couple of pins (I never got one) -- and one newspaper mention.
This is from a 1969 newspaper in Chambersberg, PA.
See you next Monday!
