Yep. Grew up with them, and it was these books that sustained my interest and imagination in science.
I still remember a hard-bound, deep blue coloured (roughly) notebook sized book that had these amazing DIY projects for space, including a rover etc. I don't think I could ever make the more complicated ones- they required woodwork etc which I simply didn't have access to as a child. But they helped me dream and develop an interest in making stuff of my own, and they are one of the reasons why I still love tinkering.
I wish I could get hold of that book once again, but I can't even recall it's name!
