What follows are thrilling accounts of such remarkable experiences as the rush of liftoff, the heart-stopping touchdown on the moon, the final hurdle of re-entry, competition for a seat on a moon flight, the tragic spacecraft fire, and the search for clues to the origin of the solar system on the slopes of lunar mountains." "I've been there. Chaikin took me back."--Gene Cernan, Apollo 17 astronaut
