Men On The Moon
Three brave men, Neil Armstrong, Edwin E. Aldrin, and Michael Collins, succeeded in a task that no man had ever achieved before. The story of the first lunar landing is also the story of heroism and triumph on the part of the valiant men and women of the NASA organization. Together, they and the astronauts accomplished what many thought impossible.
Now it is your turn to learn about this saga of these modern-day explorers and to see the photos taken during that high point in American history. This book offers you the opportunity to learn what the astronauts endured during their rigorous training and about the risks they took in accomplishing their mission. Students will learn what it was like to be alive at that historic moment, and what the Apollo 11 mission meant not just to Americans, but to the entire world.
The story of the first lunar landing is also augmented in these pages by a Study Guide for students. You will find a list of books especially for students that will help you further explore this mission and its impact. A list of additional resources will help you discover special websites devoted to Apollo 11, where you will find many more photos, documents, and even recordings of live radio broadcasts from those historic days. Our special table of contents is linked to each section of the book so you can go right to the information you seek.
