Apollo: The Epic Journey to the
Moon
An exuberantly visual treatment of the
Saturn/Apollo combination and its specific
missions, the work also rues the fact that
the Apollo program was rushed to meet
JFK's deadline, and didn't fully realize
the dreams of Werner von Braun and other
1950s space dreamers whose visions were
captured in the paintings of Chesley
Bonestell. Then he delivers glorious moon
shots, detailed equipment diagrams, and
more than 400 other illustrations to show
that despite its failings, Apollo was the
adventure of the century. This is a
don't-miss book for space buffs.
