Very Highly-Rated FREEBIE about Apollo 8. Told in a Unique Way.
I had forgotten how dangerous that the Apollo 8 mission had been. I suppose that the events in it were eclipsed, in my memory, by the near-disastrous Apollo 13 mission.
This ebook is self-published, but it's got super ratings/reviews. And, it's pretty large, at 354 pages. The book uses a novel way of dealing with the subject. See the book description to see what that is. Apollo 8: The Longest Journey: The story of man's first mission to the Moon (Hashtag Histories Book 4). By Philip Gibson. Rated 4.5 stars, but from only 12 reviews at Amazon; Rated 4.15, but from only 13 ratings at GoodReads. Print list price $13.99; digital list price $5.99; Kindle price $0.00. Self-published. 354 pages. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WCPKMVI/. Book Description The Apollo 8 mission would be the longest and most perilous journey ever attempted by man, and this account will put you believably back inside those six incredibly tense and dramatic days in 1968. It is the story of the first manned mission to the Moon told in the form of today's social media, allowing us to witness the unfolding drama of the mission as if we were following it in real time and as if the participants and observers were sharing their thoughts and actions with us directly. In December 1968, so much remained unknown. Would the first manned launch of the massive Saturn V rocket lift off and successfully and deliver three astronauts into Earth orbit? Would humans be able to survive passing through the Van Allen belts of radiation between the Earth and the Moon? What would happen when the astronauts passed around the far side of the Moon out of contact with Earth? Would the single engine needed to boost the spacecraft out of lunar orbit and on a course back to Earth fire as hoped? Would the first nighttime recovery of a spacecraft from the Pacific Ocean be successful? If the Apollo 8 mission was to be successful, the astronauts on board would become the first humans to travel so incredibly far and so incredibly fast. They would be the first to leave the Earth's sphere of influence and the first to see the whole planet Earth from space. They would be the first to orbit the Moon, first to set eyes on the far side of the Moon and the first humans to witness the spectacular Earthrise over the lunar landscape. The narrative of this account is based on actual astronaut recollections, NASA transcripts of the fascinating continual communications with the astronauts, broadcasts of the main TV networks covering the mission and the thoughts of many expert and laypeople observers. There is an extensive list of major sources at the end of the book. Last edited by GtrsRGr8; 04-21-2016 at 07:02 PM. |
