THAT’S ONE SMALL STEP FOR MAN …The Moon has always fascinated humans, and thoughts on how to get there occupied minds for hundreds of years. During the space race, setting foot on the Moon was the ultimate goal and the Apollo missions to the Moon are amongst the most successful and well-remembered manned space flights that NASA ever accomplished.In PROJECT APOLLO Norman Ferguson reveals fascinating facts and figures, and recounts amazing stories about the astronauts and their spacecraft, and how they made the giant leap for mankind.
I've always loved astronomy, but my recent trip to Washington and the Smithsonian Museums (including the Space and Air Museum) sparked a mini-obsession with all things Apollo and space exploration. This book is the perfect start as it has lots of information on the Apollo missions, including fun facts that are not really relevant to the missions themselves, but are fun to read. Loved every page!
