About This Item
Atlanta:: Turner Publishing Inc,, 1994.. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Near Fine bright price clipped dust jacket. Inscribed "To Chuck, Alan Shepard" on titlepage. On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik I, and the space race was born. Desperate to beat the Russians into space, NASA put together a crew of the nations most daring test pilots: the seven men who were to lead America to the moon. The first into space was Alan Shepard; the last was Deke Slayton, whose irregular heartbeat kept him grounded until 1975. They spent the 1960s at the forefront of NASAs effort to conquer space, and Moon Shot is their inside account of what many call the twentieth centurys greatest featlanding humans on another world. Collaborating with NBCs veteran space reporter Jay Barbree, Shepard and Slayton narrate in gripping detail the story of Americas space exploration from the time of Shepards first flight until he and eleven others had walked on the moon.
