Specificatii
The remarkable story of the
trailblazers and the ordinary Americans on the front lines of the
epic mission to reach the moon. President John F. Kennedy
astonished the world on May 25, 1961, when he announced to Congress
that the United States should land a man on the Moon by 1970. No
group was more surprised than the scientists and engineers at NASA,
who suddenly had less than a decade to invent space travel. When
Kennedy announced that goal, no one knew how to navigate to the
Moon. No one knew how to build a rocket big enough to reach the
Moon, or how to build a computer small enough (and powerful enough)
to fly a spaceship there. No one knew what the surface of the Moon
was like, or what astronauts could eat as they flew there. On the
day of Kennedy's historic speech, America had a total of fifteen
minutes of spaceflight experience - with just five of those minutes
outside the atmosphere. Russian dogs had more time in space than
U.S. astronauts. Over the next decade, more than 400,000
scientists, engineers, and factory workers would send 24 astronauts
to the Moon. Each hour of space flight would require one million
hours of work back on Earth to get America to the Moon on July 20,
1969. Fifty years later, One Giant Leap is the sweeping, definitive
behind-the-scenes account of the furious race to complete one of
mankind's greatest achievements. It's a story filled with surprises
- from the item the astronauts almost forgot to take with them (the
American flag), to the extraordinary impact Apollo would have back
on Earth, and on the way we live today. Charles Fishman introduces
readers to the men and women who had to solve 10,000 problems
before astronauts could reach the Moon. From the research labs of
MIT, where the eccentric and legendary pioneer Charles Draper
created the tools to fly the Apollo spaceships, to the factories
where dozens of women sewed spacesuits, parachutes, and even
computer hardware by hand, Fishman captures the exceptional feats
of these ordinary Americans. One Giant Leap is the captivating
story of men and women charged with changing the world as we knew
it - their leaders, their triumphs, their near disasters, all of
which led to arguably the greatest success story, and the greatest
adventure story, of the twentieth centur
