review 1: YA Nonfiction TitleThis is an excellent book that covers the history of the Apollo Mission from 1968 to 1972. This is an exciting book for those who like history, science, exploration, adventure oh and space travel. It if filled with not only the history of America's voyage to the moon but also give wonderful photographs as well as painting by Alan Bean (Apollo Astronaut & painter.) This book gives intricate knowledge of all the working of space travel from rockets, lunar modules, space suits to space food to how an astronaut uses the restroom.
review 2: Among all the moon-landing books out there, this one stands out because of its personal touches: artwork and extended captions by Alan Bean and lots of "inside" info that the author collected through intervi... moreews with the astronauts and others. The book is very well organized, with just enough information about each of the Apollo missions and plenty of interesting "extras" (diagrams, maps, photos, notes, etc.). less
