Publisher Description

With the Apollo spacecraft redesigned from the ground up, and amid fears that the USSR was about to send a manned spacecraft around the Moon, NASA took a massive but calculated gamble: to combine the first manned test of the giant Saturn V Moon rocket with a flight into lunar orbit. Book 10 in the Race for Space series looks at the build-up to the unforgettable events of Christmas 1968, when TV viewers on Earth were given their first close-up glimpses of the Moon.
