July 1969 Apollo 11 set off from Florida USA on a mission to get to the moon.

In May 1961, President Kennedy announced that the United States would attempt to land a man on the moon and return him safely to the earth before the end of that decade. Yet NASA did not have a specific plan for how to accomplish that goal. Over the next fourteen months, NASA vigorously debated several options. At first the consensus was to send one big rocket with several astronauts to the moon, land and explore, and then take off and return the astronauts to earth in the same vehicle. Another idea involved launching several smaller Saturn V rockets into the earth orbit, where a lander would be assembled and fueled before sending the crew to the moon.But it was a small group of engineers led by John C. Houbolt who came up with the plan that propelled human beings to the moon and back--not only safely, but faster, cheaper, and more reliably. Houbolt and his colleagues called it lunar orbit rendezvous, or LOR. At first the LOR idea was ignored, then criticized, and finally dismissed by many senior NASA officials.Nevertheless, the group, under Houbolt\'s leadership, continued to press the LOR idea, arguing that it was the only way to get men to the moon and back by President Kennedy\'s deadline. Houbolt persisted, risking his career in the face of overwhelming opposition. This is the story of how John Houbolt convinced NASA to adopt the plan that made history. The moon landing remains the most astonishing and impressive accomplishment of manned space travel to this day. In July 1969, just eight years after President John F. Kennedy announced the bold plan, the first astronaut set foot on another celestial body. While Project Apollo: The Early Years covered the exciting developments from the first project drawings to the unmanned first flight of the mighty Saturn V, this book covers the later years of the Apollo era, in all its fascinating detail, including the test flights in Earth\'s orbit the first orbits of the moon the legendary Apollo 11 mission the drama of Apollo 13 and Apollo 17, the last manned moon flight in 1972. Experience this era through exciting accounts, radio transcripts, and impressive photographs and diagrams. An all-encompassing look at the history and enduring impact of the Apollo space programIn Apollo\'s Legacy, space historian Roger D. Launius explores the many-faceted stories told about the meaning of the Apollo program and how it forever altered American society. The Apollo missions marked the first time human beings left Earth\'s orbit and visited another world, and thus they loom large in our collective memory. Many have detailed the exciting events of the Apollo program, but Launius offers unique insight into its legacy as seen through multiple perspectives. He surveys a wide range of viewpoints and narratives, both positive and negative, surrounding the program. These include the argument that Apollo epitomizes American technological--and political--progress technological and scientific advances garnered from the program critiques from both sides of the political spectrum about the program\'s expenses and even conspiracy theories and denials of the program\'s very existence. Throughout the book, Launius weaves in stories from important moments in Apollo\'s history to draw readers into his analysis. Apollo\'s Legacy is a must-read for space buffs interested in new angles on a beloved cultural moment and those seeking a historic perspective on the Apollo program. In August 1968, one short year after three astronauts had burned to death in their spacecraft, NASA decided that it would launch humankind’s first flight to the moon. Sixteen weeks later, Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and Bill Anders were aboard the first manned spacecraft to depart Earth’s orbit, reach the moon, and return safely to Earth, delivering a tear-inducing Christmas Eve message along the way.RUNNING TIME ? 11hrs. and 8mins.©2017 Jeffrey Kluger (P)2017 Macmillan Audio
