Moonshot is the story of the fight of the Apollo 11 mission, the historic first landing on the moon with Neil Armstrong, Micheal Collins and Buzz Aldrin. Learn about the amazing ship that carried them on their epic journey. Discover walking on the moon and the incredible return trip.
Simply told, grandly shown, here is the flight of Apollo 11. Here for a new generation of readers and explorers are the steady astronauts, clicking themselves into gloves and helmets, strapping themselves into sideways seats. Here are their great machines in all their detail and monumentality, the ROAR of rockets, and the silence of the Moon. Here is a story of adventure and discovery—a story of leaving and returning during the summer of 1969, and a story of home, seen whole, from far away.
