'IMPRESSIVE AND ILLUMINATING' TOM HANKS This is the definitive
account of the heroic Apollo programme. When astronauts Neil
Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took their 'giant leap for mankind'
across a ghostly lunar landscape, they were watched by some 600
million people on Earth 240,000 miles away. Drawing on hundreds of
hours of in-depth interviews with the astronauts and mission
personnel, this is the story of the twentieth century's greatest
human achievement, minute-by-minute, through the eyes of those who
were there. From the tragedy of the fire in Apollo 1 during a
simulated launch, Apollo 8's bold pioneering flight around the
moon, through to the euphoria of the first moonwalk, and to the
discoveries made by the first scientist on the moon aboard Apollo
17, this book covers it all. 'An extraordinary book . . . Space,
with its limitless boundaries, has the power to inspire, to change
lives, to make the impossible happen. Chaikin's superb book
demonstrates how' Sunday Times 'A superb account . . . Apollo may
be the only achievement by which our age is remembered a thousand
years from now' Arthur C. Clarke 'The authoritative masterpiece'
Los Angeles Times
