Moon Launch!

Moon Launch! (The NASA History Series)
by Charles D. Benson, William B. Faherty

Moon Launch! recreates the exciting story of the astronauts and engineers, scientists and technicians, politicians and public citizens responsible for the Project Apollo flights to the moon. Through their teamwork at the Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral became the spaceport for the nation and, in the mind of many, the gateway to the universe. A companion to Gateway to the Moon, this illustrated book describes the seven missions to the moon launched between 1969 and 1972.

David Woods, from pre-publication reviews:
"It could become a classic 'must have' for anyone who has a desire to know what it was all about. It is astonishing that it hasn't been done before."

Moon Lander.

How We Developed the Apollo Lunar Module
by Thomas J. Kelly

In 1961, only a few weeks after Alan Shepherd completed the first American sub orbital flight, President John F. Kennedy announced that the U.S. would put a man on the moon before the end of the decade. The next year, NASA awarded the right to meet the extraordinary challenge of building a lunar excursion module to a small airplane company called Grumman from Long Island, New York. Chief engineer Thomas J. Kelly gives a first-hand account of designing, building, testing, and flying the Apollo lunar module. It was, he writes, "an aerospace engineer's dream job of the century." Read about how the project began and developed and what immense barriers and challenges regarding technology, human and economic resources had to be faced and solved in no time.

Space Cowboys.

The famous Movie on DVD.
Starring: Clint Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones.
Director: Clint Eastwood

After all the reading about astronomy and space, lean back and relax!
This slice of cornball Americana is so much fun you'll be tempted to stand up and salute. Director and costar Clint Eastwood manages to turn what might have been ludicrous into a jubilant tribute to age and experience, and Space Cowboys succeeds as two movies in one--a comedy about retired pilots given one last shot at glory and an Apollo 13-like thriller with all the requisite heroics. The DVD edition also includes non published "making of" and "behind the screen" details.
