Summary:

"A riveting approach to the fascinating story behind Apollo 11's successful (but nearly disastrous) 1969 moon landing, Moon Landing, 1969 ties the preceding four centuries of science, technology, engineering and math to the Apollo 11 mission and the first steps on the moon with the art of storytelling. Structured in 11 episodes, the narrative takes us from pre-ignition to the moonwalk to splashdown. In addition, recurring "Solve the Mystery" sidebars highlight other key discoveries made in science, math, engineering and technology over the course of 400 years that helped to ensure the mission's success."-- Provided by publisher.
