One Giant Leap: Apollo 11 Remembered
The first moon landing in July 1969 captured the imagination of the world as no subsequent “space spectacular” has.  Forty years later, space historian Piers Bizony has produced a stunning visual record of this unparalleled mission.   Drawing on high-resolution images from the entire suite of Apollo 11’s on-board film magazines, the book presents a complete picture of the mission: the launch, the astronauts’ lives inside the spacecraft, the landing and moon walk, and finally the return to earth to worldwide acclaim.  Accompanying these images is Bizony’s essay on the lasting cultural and emotional impact of the mission, augmented with quotes from astronauts, scientists, and literary commentators. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
