The purpose of this book is only partly to record the engineering
and scientific accomplishments of the men and women who made it
possible for a human to step away from his home planet for the
first time. It is primarily an attempt to show how scientists
interested in the moon and engineers interested in landing people
on the moon worked out their differences and conducted a program
that was a major contribution to science as well as a stunning
engineering accomplishment. When scientific requirements began to
be imposed on manned space flight operations, hardly any aspect was
unaffected. The choice of landing sites, the amount of scientific
equipment that could be carried, and the weight of lunar material
that could be brought back all depended on the capabilities of the
spacecraft and mission operations. These considerations limited the
earliest missions and constituted the challenge of the later ones.
