Description
This book explains how the Apollo crews learned to work on the lunar surface. Its lively and informative text draws heavily on transcripts and photographs to illustrate points. It puts the reader on the lunar surface with the astronauts, sharing their observations, excitement, and frustrations. The carefully selected photographs show the stark beauty of the lunar surface. There are excerpts from the mission transcripts in which the Apollo astronauts on the lunar surface discuss their progress between themselves and with their colleagues on Earth. Post-mission and recent interviews are included in which the astronauts recall their thoughts not only during their missions but also after more than 25 years of reflection. It is vitally important to revisit the roots of mankind's boldest exploration, examining the astronauts' observations, tallying the accuracy of our assumptions, and gaining new perspective for this century's missions.
