About this Audible Audiobook:
- Apollo is the behind-the-scenes story of an epic achievement. Based on exhaustive research that included many exclusive interviews, Apollo tells how America went from a standing start to a landing on the moon at a speed that now seems impossible. It describes the unprecedented engineering challenges that had to be overcome to create the mammoth Saturn V and the facilities to launch it. It takes you onto the gantries at Cape Canaveral and behind the consoles of Houston's Mission Control as it relives the tragedy of the fire on Apollo 1, the first descent to the lunar surface, and the rescue of Apollo 13.

I am 37. In school, we never learned anything that happened starting in the 1950s/1960s onward because it wasn't "history" yet. What a shame b/c now all the people during that era that made such an impact (aerospace, civil rights) or sacrificed so much (Vietnam) are gone or quite old, and people my age were never given the opportunity to learn about what they did. The efforts it took to reach outer space and ultimately the moon are some of the best and proudest achievements this country has ever had.
