Description

On July 20, 1969, as a worldwide television audience of 500 million watched, Neil Armstrong became the first man to step foot on the Moon. Nearly a half-century later, Armstrong’s words still resonate: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” The historic Space Race began with the Soviet Union launching the world’s first orbiting satellite, Sputnik, on October 4, 1957 and ended with the successful Apollo 11 mission. While the Space Race is commonly remembered as a time of innovation and technological advances, powerful, yet often overlooked forces, were at play. Politics and money were among the prime catalysts of space exploration. While history was being made and new heroes were discovered, the aerospace industry reaped enormous profits and political careers blossomed. “The Eagle Has Landed: The Story of Apollo 11” chronicles the triumphs and tragedies of America’s quest to land on the Moon, beginning with the stories of the visionaries who made made space explorating a reality. It is remarkable story of poltical gamesmanship, innovation, perserverence, and courage.

⭐In my teenage years we did not have TV in our country and we stayed glued to our radios to hear that the eagle has landed. This thrilling endevour of those brave astronauts is relived in this book and is well written.

⭐Interesting book. Detailed information leading up to the space flight of Apollo 11. Revealing a twist that is unexpected.

⭐I appreciated the writing style, but wondered why some facts were included, but others excluded. Only select Gemini program astronauts are even mentioned, for example.

⭐All the more timely with the loss of Neil Armstrong. so much research and knowledge noteworthy put over my head The author like the heros he wrote about brought the story home. What dedication to fact and human interest.
