President Kennedy's end-of-decade deadline to put a man on the Moon was in jeopardy, and the Soviets were threatening to pull ahead in the space race. By August 1968, with its back against the wall, NASA decided to scrap its usual methodical approach and shoot for the heavens. With just four months to prepare, a fraction of the normal time, the agency would send the first men in history to the Moon. In a year of historic violence and discord, the Tet offensive, the assassinations of MLK and RFK, the Chicago DNC riots, the Apollo 8 mission was the boldest test of what America could do. With a focus on astronauts Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and Bill Anders, and their wives and children, this is a vivid, gripping, narrative that shows anew the epic danger involved, and the singular bravery it took, for man to leave Earth for the first time, and to arrive at a new world. 650 4 $a Books on compact disc, Unabridged. 610 20 $a Project Apollo (U.S.) 600 10 $a Anders, William A. $q (William Alison), $d 1933- 600 10 $a Lovell, Jim. 600 10 $a Borman, Frank, $d 1928 March 14- 650 0 $a Space flight to the moon. 700 1 $a Porter, Ray, $d 1965- $e narrator. 941 $a 8 945 $a cdab 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710041100.0 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430021032.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20211215022639.0 952 $l NNPA983 $d 20180905041203.0 952 $l VKPE334 $d 20180731020605.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20180728014732.0 952 $l CYPF706 $d 20180728010742.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20180407010119.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F68960DC3A2811E895253E5697128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
