Moon Launch! recreates the exciting story of the astronauts and
engineers, scientists and technicians, politicians and public
citizens who expanded the world's understanding of humanity's
potential, the people responsible for the Project Apollo flights to
the moon. Through their teamwork at the Kennedy Space Center, Cape
Canaveral became the spaceport for the nation and, in the minds of
many, the gateway to the universe.
A companion to Gateway to the Moon and also part of the 1978
NASA History Series Moonport volume, this illustrated book
describes the seven missions to the moon launched between 1969 and
1972. With the exception of the abortive Apollo 13 flight, all
landed successfully. As the story progresses, astronauts explore
the moon's surface in the lunar rover (complete with bucket seats
and power steering), set up experiments, and bring back hundreds of
pounds of lunar geological samples. The book concludes with a
description of the last and most spectacular liftoff, Apollo 17,
launched on a dark December night before a crowd of nearly 500,000
visitors.
