A stunning middle grade nonfiction that sheds new light on the events and people that made the Apollo program so remarkable.
Only now is it becoming clear just how exceptional and unrepeatable Apollo was. At its height, it employed almost half a million people, many working seven days a week and each determined that "it will not fail because of me." Beginning with fighter pilots in World War II, Maurer traces the origins of the Apollo program to a few exceptional soldiers, a Nazi engineer, and a young eager man who would become president. Packed with adventure, new stories about familiar people, and undeniable danger, Destination Moon takes an unflinching look at a tumultuous time in American history, told expertly by nonfiction author Richard Maurer.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Square FishISBN-13:9781250830111ISBN-10:1250830117UPC:9781250830111Book Category:Juvenile NonfictionBook Subcategory:Technology, Science & Nature, HistoryBook Topic:Aeronautics, Astronautics & Space Science, Discoveries, United StatesSize:8.90 x 5.90 x 1.10 inchesWeight:1.15Product ID:SCS82BFY3F
