A Man On The Moon: The Voyages Of The Apollo Astronauts (Part A) Book Description

Part One Of Two Parts <P>On the night of July 20, 1969, two Americans, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, walked on the moon. Now the greatest event of the twentieth century is magnificently retold through the eyes of people who were there. Chaikin recaptures the emotion of Apollo: not only the macho fighter-jock exhilaration of flying higher and farther than anyone in history, but also the frustration of astronauts bumped from the moon crews by illness or other twists of fate as well as the worldwide tension when an explosion forced Apollo 13 to return prematurely to Earth. A decade in the making, A MAN ON THE MOON is based on the in-depth interviews with the twenty-three surviving moon voyagers, as well as those who struggled to get the program moving. Mr. Chaikin recounts every aspect of the missions with breathtaking immediacy: from the rush of liftoff, to the heartstopping lunar touchdown, to the final hurdle of reentry.
