To answer President Kennedys call, NASA embarked on the Apollo missions: a complicated, dangerous, and expensive adventure involving 400,000 people. Before the missions were over, NASA astronauts had made eleven Apollo flights, six of which landed on the moon, and eight astronauts had lost their lives. The Apollo Missions for Kids tells the story of this pivotal era in space exploration from the perspective of those who lived itthe astronauts and their families, the controllers and engineers, and the technicians and politicians who made the impossible possible. The book includes a time line, resources for further study, and places to visit to see Apollo mission artifacts, along with 21 hands-on activities to better understand the missions and the science behind them."-- provided by publisher. 610 20 $a Project Apollo (U.S.) $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Space flight to the moon $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Aeronautics $x Experiments $v Juvenile literature. 830 0 $a --for kids (Chicago, Ill.) 941 $a 5 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909054549.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518023449.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722061226.0 952 $l YGPC162 $d 20190817011556.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190511010059.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0E832C3673B211E9B17D2A1797128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
