Summary:
Discusses the historic moment in 1969 when
Apollo
11 landed on the
moon
, the major events that led up to this
mission
, and the advancements that have been made in space exploration from the Mercury missions to the present day. July 20, 1969, marked one of the climactic moments in our history, the day
Apollo
11 landed on the
moon
. But it is only one piece of a magnificent
story
.
Mission
Control
, This Is
Apollo
, by the acclaimed Andrew Chaikin recounts space history from the Mercury missions through
Apollo
17 and beyond. It is illustrated with stunning full-color paintings by astronaut Alan Bean, who walked on the
moon
with Pete Conrad on
Apollo
12 and has devoted his post-NASA life to creating art. Handsome, informative, and dramatic, this is no textbook, it is the tale of humankind's greatest adventure in the last frontier: space.
