Moon Mission: The Epic 400-Year Journey to Apollo 11

Moon Mission is a unique look at the successful – though nearly disastrous – Apollo 11 moon landing. With a riveting narrative told from the astronauts’ points of view, readers get to relive every step of Apollo 11’s 1969 mission – from ignition to moon walk to splashdown – including the nail-biting (and relatively unknown) crucial moments when it came close to failure. Moon Mission also links each step to the innovations and discoveries from the past four centuries that made it possible. A fascinating new perspective on an epic journey and how STEM set it in motion.
