There have been many detailed historical studies of the process of
deciding on and executing the Apollo lunar landing during the
1960's and early 1970's. From the announcement of President John F.
Kennedy on May 25, 1061, of his decision to land an American on the
Moon by the end of the decade, through the first lunar landing on
July 20, 1969, on to the last of six successful Moon landings with
Apollo 17 in December 1972, NASA carried out Project Apollo with
enthusiasm and aplomb. The NASA History Office has chosen to
publish this monograph containing the recollections of key
participants in the management process. The collective oral history
here was recorded in 1989 at the Johnson Space Center. It includes
the recollection of key participants in Apollo's administration,
addressing issues such as communication between field centers, the
prioritization of technological goals, and the delegation of
responsibility.
