Moonshot by Alan Shepard
It is 25 years since Neil Armstrong made man's first triumphant lunar landing. Now Alan Shepard and Deke Slayton, two pioneering astronaughts, reveal the human cost of the bitter struggle between the Superpowers to be first on the moon. In this unique first-hand account of the space race the authors dislose facts about events that made headlines across the world including the hideous truth about Apollo 1 and a navigation error that nearly resulted in Neil Armstrong and his crew being stranded on the moon in Apollo 11. And yet this book is also a powerful story of intense human drama, focusing on the men behind the heroes - the successes, the disappointments and even the tragedies that shaped the world of those men that risked everything to launch and fly America's spaceships.| SKU | Unavailable |
