Following the fortieth anniversary of Apollo 11, as NASA prepares
to return astronauts to the moon, Footprints in the Dust offers a
thorough, engrossing, and multifaceted account of the Apollo
missions. The flight of Apollo 11 was a triumph of human endeavor,
persistence, and technology, one of the greatest achievements in
human history. This book begins with the mission that sent Neil
Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin to the moon, then follows
American spaceflight through the harrowing rescue of Apollo 13
before moving on to the successful joint Apollo-Soyuz mission in
1975. Drawing on extensive research and interviews with key figures
in the space program, the authors convey the human drama and chart
the technological marvels that went into the Apollo missions. They
also put the accomplishments of American spaceflight into
historical context, examining the competitive space race with the
Soviet Union, the roles of politics and personality in launching
the mission, and the consequences, practical and profound, of this
giant leap for mankind. Purchase the audio edition.
