The moon landing remains the most astonishing and impressive accomplishment of manned space travel to this day.

In July 1969, just eight years after President John F.

Kennedy announced the bold plan, the first astronaut set foot on another celestial body.

While Project Apollo: The Early Years covered the exciting developments from the first project drawings to the unmanned first flight of the mighty Saturn V, this book covers the later years of the Apollo era, in all its fascinating detail, including the test flights in Earth’s orbit; the first orbits of the moon; the legendary Apollo 11 mission; the drama of Apollo 13; and Apollo 17, the last manned moon flight in 1972.

Experience this era through exciting accounts, radio transcripts, and impressive photographs and diagrams.
