Harry Hurt ; interviews by Al Reinert

Summary

Between December 1968 and December 1972, twenty-three men captured the imagination of the world as they voyaged to the moon. Here, Harry Hurt presents a dramatic, engrossing, and comprehensive account of these journeys based on extensive research and exclusive interviews with the Apollo astronauts. In their own words, the astronauts share the sights, sounds, thoughts, fears, hopes, and dreams they experienced during their incredible voyages. In a compelling narrative structured as one trip to the moon, Harry Hurt recounts all the drama and danger of the lunar voyages, from the anxiety of the astronauts' prelaunch procedures through the euphoria of touchdown on the lunar surface. Updated with a new introduction by the author for the fiftieth anniverary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, this is both an extraordinary adventure story and an important historical document
