OverviewThis is the story of a unique American hero who came of age as an astronaut during the few dramatic years when man reached the moon. Cernan's career spanned the entire Apollo program, from the tragic fire that killed three of his comrades on Apollo 1, through the moment when he left man's last footprint on the moon as commander of Apollo 17. This is the inside story of how space was conquered, and at what price. Cernan writes candidly not only about the program, but about the high divorce rate among the astronauts, the loss of family privacy that came with celebrity, and the ever-present shadows of death and failure. With the feeling of a story recalled among friends, this is an appealing down to earth account of the last man to walk on the moon... loved the book. -- Ron Howard, Director, Apollo 13 Full Product DetailsAuthor: Eugene Cernan , Eugene Cernan , Don DavisPublisher: Brilliance Audio Imprint: Brilliance Audio Edition: abridged edition Dimensions: Width: 13.50cm , Height: 1.50cm , Length: 19.00cm Weight: 0.068kg ISBN: 9781423386476ISBN 10: 1423386477 Publication Date: 12 June 2009 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Audio Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Out of stock The supplier is temporarily out of stock of this item.
