The book delves into the monumental effort behind America's goal to land a man on the Moon, initiated by President John F. Kennedy's 1961 announcement. It explores the extensive planning and resources devoted to the Apollo program, comparing its scale to the Panama Canal and the Manhattan Project. The narrative highlights the evolution of human spaceflight through Projects Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo, culminating in the historic Apollo 11 mission on July 20, 1969, when Neil Armstrong became the first human to walk on the Moon. Illustrated throughout.
