Book excerpt: The untold story of the historic voyage to the moon that closed out one of our darkest years with a nearly unimaginable triumph In August 1968, NASA made a bold decision: in just sixteen weeks, the United States would launch humankind’s first flight to the moon. Only the year before, three astronauts had burned to death in their spacecraft, and since then the Apollo program had suffered one setback after another. Meanwhile, the Russians were winning the space race, the Cold War was getting hotter by the month, and President Kennedy’s promise to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade seemed sure to be broken. But when Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and Bill Anders were summoned to a secret meeting and told of the dangerous mission, they instantly signed on. Written with all the color and verve of the best narrative non-fiction, Apollo 8 takes us from Mission Control to the astronaut’s homes, from the test labs to the launch pad. The race to prepare an untested rocket for an unprecedented journey paves the way for the hair-raising trip to the moon. Then, on Christmas Eve, a nation that has suffered a horrendous year of assassinations and war is heartened by an inspiring message from the trio of astronauts in lunar orbit. And when the mission is over—after the first view of the far side of the moon, the first earth-rise, and the first re-entry through the earth’s atmosphere following a flight to deep space—the impossible dream of walking on the moon suddenly seems within reach. The full story of Apollo 8 has never been told, and only Jeffrey Kluger—Jim Lovell’s co-author on their bestselling book about Apollo 13—can do it justice. Here is the tale of a mission that was both a calculated risk and a wild crapshoot, a stirring account of how three American heroes forever changed our view of the home planet.
Download or read book Mr Apollo written by Ford Madox Ford and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-19 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'MR. APOLLO' has this much resemblance to Mr. Wells' 'The Wonderful Visit,' that both books are concerned with a. celestial traveler on earth, and both strive to illumine and satirize mundane conditions by the use of contrast. But while Mr. Wells employs a genial humor and a strong imagination, Mr. Hueffer shows only irony and fancy. He is not able to carry off his initial conception -- with the result that his supernaturalism seems grotesque, and never once gives us an illusion. Moreover, the scheme of the book is disordered, and one has no notion of the general idea, if there is any. The author introduces, apparently at random, events and personages, such as the Krakroffs, a pair of reputed telepathists; or Lord Aldington, a peer who owns a popular paper; or Mr. Todd, police-court missionary. The whole book gives one the impression of being an olla podrida of Mr. Hueffer's possible opinions concerning some things in modern life; but it does not seem likely to appeal to the ordinary reader. --The Athenaeum, Volume 132
Download or read book How Apollo Flew to the Moon written by W. David Woods and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-08-08 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stung by the pioneering space successes of the Soviet Union - in particular, Gagarin being the first man in space, the United States gathered the best of its engineers and set itself the goal of reaching the Moon within a decade. In an expanding 2nd edition of How Apollo Flew to the Moon, David Woods tells the exciting story of how the resulting Apollo flights were conducted by following a virtual flight to the Moon and its exploration of the surface. From launch to splashdown, he hitches a ride in the incredible spaceships that took men to another world, exploring each step of the journey and detailing the enormous range of disciplines, techniques, and procedures the Apollo crews had to master. While describing the tremendous technological accomplishment involved, he adds the human dimension by calling on the testimony of the people who were there at the time. He provides a wealth of fascinating and accessible material: the role of the powerful Saturn V, the reasoning behind trajectories, the day-to-day concerns of human and spacecraft health between two worlds, the exploration of the lunar surface and the sheer daring involved in traveling to the Moon and the mid-twentieth century. Given the tremendous success of the original edition of How Apollo Flew to the Moon, the second edition will have a new chapter on surface activities, inspired by reader's comment on Amazon.com. There will also be additional detail in the existing chapters to incorporate all the feedback from the original edition, and will include larger illustrations.

"Why what could it be," Mrs. Lympere asked, "but that another soul had entered into her body? In the instant she was dead. So that if souls can change..." "Oh, come along, Cora," the great lady said, "you know I made a resolve in Lent to be in bed every night by half-past twelve." She had, indeed, determined thus to make her Lenten self-denial extend throughout the twelye months, but she was also not anxious to help Mrs. Lympere to throw herself at the head of this Prince. It was not her affair, but she could not, she thought, be expected to play gooseberry. "Come along, Cora," she said. "You can't stay alone with these men "; she added, however, " unless you want to." "But" Mrs. Lympere said in accents of anguish, "I haven't even got the Prince's address." "He's living with me" Alfred Milne said then, with a sudden violence, as if he were combating the idea that Lord Aldington had carried off his guest. The Marquis took down the name of More's Buildings on a little slip of paper which he handed to Mrs. Lympere, and with the air of a new Eurydice sinking back into the shades, she was amiably but firmly towed from the room. But after an agony in which, for Alfred Milne, time seemed to be suspended and the Marquis desultorily corrected proofs and touched, delicately, the hairs of his crown, at last the Prince came back, and, in a divine coolness, they walked along the Embankment. The white lights dropped flashes and little sparks through the darkness; the plane trees rustled freshly their foliage, vividly shown or mantled in shadow; the dark river was visible only as a thing of reflections and of eddies outlined in light; and brown and huddled humanity showed itself only as if it were the decorati&ns for the pedestal of a statue to...
