Theirs were the most daring voyages in mankind's history and their view of Earth from the moon changed them and the way we see our home planet. Now in their emeritus years, the twelve remaining lunar explorers for the first time reveal the true source of courage, leadership, and the quiet patriotism that it took to accomplish their missions. Their voyages to the Moon led them to the most incredible discovery of all: our home planet and its precious place in the universe. "The Eagles," as author Basil Hero calls them, fear for Earth's future and offer sensible solutions to its mounting crises and the path to future space exploration. In The Mission Of A Lifetime, the Eagles share their wisdom and urge us to reframe our view of Earth to theirs: no identifiable nations, borders, or races; just Earthlings working together as a collective civilization. Hero begins each chapter with key life lessons that readers can gain from these honorable men-from overcoming fear to finding gratitude and practicing humility in all that you do. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 253-263) and index. 505 0 $a Preface: Finding the eagles -- The real right stuff : selecting the eagles -- The techniques for conquering fear -- The wives : braver than the eagles -- Leadership lessons and doing the impossible -- Changed by a view : the cosmic lighthouse -- The eagles and the god question -- Paradise found : and on the brink -- Gradatim ferociter : the future of space travel -- The noblest journey of all -- Appendix: Biographies of the twenty-four eagles. 610 20 $a Project Apollo (U.S.) $x History. 650 0 $a Astronauts $z United States $v Interviews. 650 0 $a Space flight to the moon $x History. 650 0 $a Leadership. 650 0 $a Conduct of life. 941 $a 5 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240702023448.0 952 $l AXPF626 $d 20220223012311.0 952 $l ESPD725 $d 20191203011437.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20190614010944.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190530011958.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5FCA509A82A011E99E6AB6FC96128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
