Description
One common goal: to put a man on the moon. Casting the vision was President John F. Kennedy, but bringing it to fruition required the dedicated work of thousands. From the 7,500 workers at Grumman Aerospace Corp and the 17,000 engineers, technicians, mechanics and supervisors at the Kennedy Space Center to the countless others behind the scenes, Americans were riveted to their televisions as astronauts were televised into their living rooms on July 20, 1969. Through stunning photographs and engaging text, this book provides an excellent history or science supplement. Children and adults will be enthralled as they relive the excitement of a dream realized-landing man on the moon and returning him safely home. pb, 80pgs. ~ Deanne
Publisher's Description of Team Moon
Here is a rare perspective on a story we only thought we knew. For Apollo 11, the first moon landing, is a story that belongs to many, not just the few and famous. It belongs to the seamstress who put together twenty-two layers of fabric for each space suit. To the engineers who created a special heat shield to protect the capsule during its fiery reentry. It belongs to the flight directors, camera designers, software experts, suit testers, telescope crew, aerospace technicians, photo developers, engineers, and navigators.
Gathering direct quotes from some of these folks who worked behind the scenes, Catherine Thimmesh reveals their very human worries and concerns. Culling NASA transcripts, national archives, and stunning NASA photos from Apollo 11, she captures not only the sheer magnitude of this feat but also the dedication, ingenuity, and perseverance of the greatest team ever - the team that worked to first put man on that great gray rock in the sky.
