'Through the windows of the slowly turning spacecraft they looked
out at the place where the sun had once been, and there was the
moon: a huge, magnificent sphere bathed in the eerie blue light of
earthshine, each crater rendered in ghostly detail.' The race to
the moon was won spectacularly by Apollo 11 on 20 July 1969. When
astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took their 'giant step'
across a ghostly lunar landscape, they were watched by some 600
million people on Earth 250,000 miles away. A Man on the Moon is
the definitive account of the heroic Apollo programme: from the
tragedy of the fire in Apollo 1 during a simulated launch, through
the euphoria of the first moonwalk, to the discoveries made by the
first scientist in space aboard Apollo 17. Drawing on hundreds of
hours of in-depth interviews with the astronauts and team, this is
the story of the twentieth century's greatest human achievement,
minute-by-minute, in the words of those who were there. 'Impressive
and illuminating' -Tom Hanks
