THE VOYAGES OF THE APOLLO ASTRONAUTS

    Author: Andrew Chaikin
    Published: 1995
    Pages: 688
    Paperback
    ISBN: 0140241469

The race to the moon began in 1961. It was won spectacularly on 20 July 1969, when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took their 'giant step' across a ghostly lunar landscape, 250,000 miles from a watching Earth. For the moon landings actually did take place: it wasn't all a science fiction dream. And this is how it happened ...

Beginning with President Kennedy's bold deadline, A Man on the Moon is the definitive account of the Apollo programme's successes and its heroic failure: from the fire in Apollo 1 during a simulated lauch, to the discoveries made by the first scientist in space aboard Apollo 17. A Man on the Moon is the story of our century's greatest human achievement - in the words of those who were there.
