Book Reviews of A Man on the Moon: The Voyages of the Apollo Astronauts
Book Review: Man conquers the Moon.
Summary: 5 Stars
I was 18 when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon. I watched the almost unbelievable event on black and white TV outside a shop window, as most people were doing. It was an outstanding achievement,especially for young people like myself doing physics hoping to go for an engineering career. Today I can only smile when I recall my grandmother's reaction as soon as I told her what had occured. This 70 year old lady was extremely religious and would have nothing of it. The more I tried to convince her the more she became adamant that I was being blasphemous !!!!. She did'nt speak to me for a week !! God bless her. Andrew Chaikin has written an excellent book.Anyone wanting to know what realy happened would miss out if he does'nt read this extraordinary account.It is really captivating to learn how difficult it really was and the courage it took from everyone involved. I could'nt let the book out of my hands. A true masterpiece .Now I am 57 and I recently had the great honour and privilege to meet Jack Schmitt of Apollo 17 fame while he was at the Malta University delivering a speech for the Physics Dep. Later he visited our still budding Aviation Museum.It was truely a great honour.
