review 1: This book will make you proud to be an American! For those of us that were privileged enough to be alive in 1969 and saw the event live on tv, it will refresh the thrill of seeing Neil Armstrong step onto the moon's surface on a snowy small screen TV. For those not that lucky, it will describe in detail one of the greatest events in all of man's history.For all it will give facts and figures that will astound and educate. Did you know that Armstrong figured the missions chances for a success was about 50%? Did you know that President Nixon had staff prepare a speech in case the astronauts did not return? Read this book and be amazed at the dedication of our astronauts, the bravery of each man, the the glory of being the first man to set foot on another member of our so... morelar system 44 years ago.
review 2: Un libro que da la oportunidad de tener una visión verdaderamente integral de la misión del Apolo 11 y todo lo que representó: para la época, para la historia, para Estados Unidos y sus ciudadanos, para el mundo, para la guerra fría y para todos aquellos que intervinieron de una u otra forma con el proyecto.La narración es especialmente amena al no ser totalmente lineal; esa particularidad, aunada a los muchísimos detalles que no habían estado disponibles antes para ell público en general sobre la misión, hacen que sea especialmente entretenido.Ojalá lo leyeran todos los conspiranoicos que afirman que nunca se realizó el viaje a la luna, para que conocieran todo el trabajo que implicó y la razón por la que una aventura de semejante tamaño es imposible de falsificar. less

Entertaining read. But knew most of it already. No surprises

Apollo 13 is a way better read on the subject matter.

Nice to have a non-American point of view.
