I Joined the Aero Space Reading Club! Did You?

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!
