A decade in the making, this book is based on hundreds of hours of in-depth
interviews with each of the twenty-four moon voyagers, as well as those who
contributed their brain power, training and teamwork on Earth. In his preface
Chaikin writes, "We touched the face of another world and became a people
without limits." What follows are thrilling accounts of such remarkable
experiences as the rush of a liftoff, the heart-stopping touchdown on the moon,
the final hurdle of re-entry, competition for a seat on a moon flight, the
tragic spacecraft fire, and the search for clues to the origin of the solar
system on the slopes of lunar mountains. |
