Requirements: .ePUB reader, 11.9MB
Overview: The exciting and inspiring true story of Apollo 8, the first crewed spaceship to break free of the Earth’s orbit and reach the moon, by the best-selling author of Apollo 13.
What’s more exciting that spaceships and astronauts? How about a spaceship carrying the first astronauts ever to see the moon first hand — on Christmas!
The year was 1968, and the American people were still reeling from the spacecraft fire that killed the Apollo 1 crew a year earlier. On top of that, there were rumors that the Russian cosmonauts were getting ready to fly around the moon. NASA realized that they needed to take a bold step — and that they needed to take it now. They wanted to win the space race against Russia and hold true to President Kennedy’s promise to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade. So in a risky move, a few days before Christmas of that year, they sent Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and Bill Anders to the moon!
