Rebuilding the dilemma, majesty, and pure improbability of American triumph, this is award-winning historian Craig Nelson's definitive and exciting report of man's first trip to the moon. At 9:32 a.m. on July 16, 1969, the Apollo 11 rocket launched in the existence of more than a million spectators who had gathered to witness a truly ancient event. Through interviews, 23,000 webpages of NASA dental histories, and declassified CIA documents on the area contest, Rocket Men reveals a brilliant narrative of the moon objective, taking readers on the voyage to one of the previous frontiers of the real human imagination.
