Description
Join the crew of Apollo 11 on the ultimate adventure - from Earth to the Moon.
Experience the greatest breakthroughs in science, with the DK Science Stories series.
On 16th July 1969, three men sit at the top of a towering rocket. Strapped into their Command Module, the astronauts brace themselves as the engines roar into life, flames lick out from beneath the rocket, and the ground starts to tremble. They are going where no one has ever been before.
This is the story of the legendary Apollo 11 mission - and the men and women on the ground who made it happen. When astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped onto the moon in July 1969, they achieved humanity's oldest dream. But how did they get there? This is the thrilling story of Apollo 11, from President Kennedy's bold challenge to the nail-biting lunar landing and those historic first footsteps.
Discover how thousands of scientists and engineers worked together to solve seemingly impossible problems, create amazing new technologies, and send three brave astronauts on the greatest adventure in human history.
