Product Description

A Behind-the-Scenes Look At NASA's incredible Journey to the Moon

"Atkinson's book is one of the best books published on Apollo" --
    Science magazine  
"If you read only one book on the subject, it should be "Eight Years to the Moon" --
  St. Paul Pioneer Press

Space journalist and insider Nancy Atkinson weaves together the riveting story of NASA's mission to complete "the greatest adventure on which humankind ever embarked."

This incredible account is a keepsake celebrating some of the most important and dramatic events in modern history. Told through over 60 personal interviews and oral histories, as well as personal photographs, this tribute to the men and women who made the Apollo 11 mission a reality chronicles the highs and lows that accompanied the race to the Moon: the devastating flash fire that killed the crew of Apollo 1; the awe of those who saw their years-in-the-making contributions to space exploration blast off from Cape Canaveral; the knuckle-biting descent of Apollo 11 to the lunar surface; a near-catastrophic event on the crew's  flight home; the infectious excitement and jubilation across the world after the astronauts returned safely to Earth.

These little-known stories of the dedicated engineers, mathematicians and scientists in the 1960sreveal the "hows" of the Apollo missions and bring to life the wonder and excitement of humanity's first steps on the Moon.
