Beschreibung

Chester Pawling, keenly interested in space travel, is invited to work at a base in the South Pacific where the great scientist, Dr. Havensson, is conducting highly secret experiments. That is just the beginning of a grand adventure that fulfils Chester’s dream of traveling into space. But it is not simple or safe. A rival national group has launched a rocket ship and a dangerous space race has begun. Chester, who is physically handicapped, gets more than one chance to prove that he is as capable as any other member of the crew.
 
OPERATION SPRINGBOARD is a juvenile science fiction novel (published first in 1958) by John Ball. Ball is best known for mystery novels involving the African-American police detective Virgil Tibbs. Tibbs was introduced in the 1965 novel IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT, which won the Edgar Award for Best First Novel from the Mystery Writers of America and was made into an Oscar-winning film of the same name. Ball's departure from the mystery genre was a bestselling what-if political thriller THE FIRST TEAM. Mr. Ball was also a member of the Aviation Space Writers Association and served for a time as the public relations director of the Institute of Aerospace Sciences. His interest in and knowledge of aviation and space add a sense of authenticity to OPERATION SPRINGBOARD that was not always present in the young adult science fiction of the period.

    Track and field is one of the oldest and most celebrated sports in human history, dating back to ancient civilizations. Rooted in the basic human movements of running, jumping, and throwing, it has evolved into a dynamic and diverse athletic discipline that tests physical prowess, mental resilience, and strategic thinking. This chapter provides an overview of the sport, its rich history, and the variety of events that make up its exciting landscape. 
    The origins of track and field can be traced to the ancient Olympic Games in Greece, where events such as the stadion race—a short sprint—and the pentathlon captivated audiences. Over centuries, the sport expanded and adapted, becoming a cornerstone of modern athletics. Today, it encompasses a wide range of events, divided into three main categories: track events, field events, and combined events. 
    Track events include sprints, middle-distance and long-distance races, hurdles, and relays. These races test speed, endurance, and teamwork, often decided by fractions of a second. Field events, on the other hand, showcase an athlete's power and precision. Competitors excel in throwing disciplines such as shot put, discus, and javelin, as well as jumping events like the long jump, high jump, triple jump, and pole vault. Combined events, such as the decathlon and heptathlon, require athletes to master a mix of track and field disciplines, demanding unparalleled versatility.
