Deep within the rugged mountains of Southern California and rising
above the desert landscape of Southern New Mexico are the
oncemajestic historic rocket test stands and facilities that helped
send humans to the moon for the first time in 1969. Many of these
areabandoned. Countless others across the American landscape and on
the lunar surface have become ruins, silent and largely forgotten.
The Final Mission explores the critical sites linked to space
exploration and calls for their urgent preservation. The authors
provide fascinating background information on significant sites and
discuss ways to preserve and protect the buildings and artifacts
that remain for future generations. These facilities helped refine
the Saturn V rocket engines that carried the Apollo 11 astronauts
to the moon and developed the critical equipment that made it
possible for humans to survive and return safely to Earth. This
book gives these sites the recognition they have long been due for
their roles in the landmark Apollo missions that blazed at the
height of the twentieth-century space race.
