Description
Publisher's Description of Michael Collins: Discovering History's Heroes
On July 16, 1969, a Gemini rocket lifted off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Previous launches had focused on getting astronauts into space, docking two spacecraft, and even walking in space, but this mission was different. Apollo 11 was designed to land two astronauts on the moon and then bring them back to Earth. Four days later, two astronauts, Neal Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, did walk on the moon. But did you know that there were actually three astronauts aboard the rocket on July 16? Michael Collins didn't get to walk on the Moon, but his contribution is just as important as Armstrong and Aldrin's.
Category Description for Discovering History's Heroes
Not every hero is sky-rocketed into immediate fame. Many of them work tirelessly behind the scenes and never become a household name. But their lives and experiences are interesting and, often, their contributions are immeasurable. Such are the heroes whose stories are told in the Discovering History's Heroes series. Learn about a turn-of-the-past-century journalist (Ida B Wells) who led anti-lynching awareness; a Native American doctor (Susan La Flesche Picotte) who was the first person to receive financial aid for professional education; a South African poet (Dennis Brutus) who raised awareness of apartheid; and the astronaut (Michael Collins) who made sure his moon-walking fellow astronauts made it back into the space capsule. ~ Janice
