Informed by extensive interviews with astronauts such as Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin,
Gene Cernan, David Scott, John Young, Alan Shepard, Charlie Duke, Al Bean, Gordon
Cooper, Al Worden, Walt Cunningham, Tom Stafford, Dick Gordon, John Glenn, Pete
Conrad, Edgar Mitchel, James Irwin, Stu Roosa, Ron Evans, Deke Slayton, Wally
Schirra, as well as key politicians and NASA personnel
Fifty years ago in July 1969, Apollo 11 became the first manned mission to land on the
moon, and Neil Armstrong the first man to step onto its surface. President Nixon
called it the greatest week since creation.
In the most authoritative book ever written about Apollo, David Whitehouse reveals the
true drama behind the mission, telling the story in the words of those who took part -
based around exclusive interviews with the key players.
This enthralling book takes us from the early rocket pioneers to the shock America
received from the Soviets’ launch of the first satellite, Sputnik; from the race to
put the first person into space, through President Kennedy’s enthusiasm and later
doubts, to the astronauts’ intense competition to leave the first footprint.
Here is the story as told by the crew of Apollo 11 and the many other astronauts who
paved the way or went to the moon themselves after Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins.
Astronauts, engineers, politicians, NASA officials, Soviet rivals - all tell their own
story of a great moment of human achievement.
The full list of interviewees includes NASA employees such as James Fletcher, Roco
Petrone, Brainerd Homes, Bob Gilruth, George Mueller, James Webb, John Houbolt,
Robert Seamans, Max Faget, Director of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory William
Pickering and Sergei Khrushchev, son of the Soviet Premier.
