"That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind,"
were the words spoken by Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong as he
stepped off the footpad of the Lunar Module Eagle. This was the
first and most famous manned mission to land on the Moon. As a
19-year-old college journalist, author David Chudwin covered the
launch from Florida in July 1969. Chudwin was the only journalist
with official NASA press credentials representing the college press
and had extraordinary access to the astronauts, rocket scientists,
launch pads, rockets, and control centers. 2019 will be the 50th
anniversary of Apollo 11 -- a time to look back to celebrate that
mission, and forward to our future in space. Divided into three
parts, this book provides: the author's account of covering the
first landing on the Moon in 1969; lessons learned from the Apollo
program and their relevance to future space activities; and our
future in space including new rockets, space stations, and trips
back to the Moon and to Mars.
