Half a century has passed since arguably the greatest feat of the
twentieth century: when Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk
on the Moon. Apollo 11: The Moon Landing In Real Time brings the
mission back to life as never before in a thrilling day-by-day
account, exploring everything from the historic flight itself to
how the $24billion space programme divided a nation. Journey back
in time and feel the excitement build in the days before launch and
then experience the tension of the dramatic lunar landing and the
relief of the crew's safe return to Earth. This engaging account
mixes easily understandable explanations of the ground-breaking
technology behind Apollo 11 with entertainment, excitement and
humour in equal measure. Set against a backdrop of the Cold War,
race riots and Vietnam, the mission polarised opinion worldwide.
Alongside these issues, read long-forgotten tales including how a
Chilean lawyer claimed he was the legal owner of the Moon,
thousands of people signed up for proposed commercial Moon flights,
Hilton revealed plans for a lunar hotel, flat Earth' believers
claimed the mission was a hoax and some scientists feared the
astronauts would bring back deadly germs from space which would
devastate mankind.
