Product Description:
Apollo is a photographic commemoration of the Apollo lunar missions as seen through the eyes of the astronauts. Each of the surviving 21 astronauts from the Apollo missions has chosen a favorite photograph from his space flight especially for this book. These selections are accompanied by other iconic photographs from the Apollo missions. Bestselling astrophysicist Stephen Hawking and his daughter Lucy Hawking contribute a foreword on the meaning of the space exploration. July 20, 2009, marks the 40th anniversary of the first manned landing on the Moon by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin of Apollo 11. Apollo is the only photographic book on the Apollo missions to be created by NASA, and is the perfect commemorative volume about this epochal program, where legendary achievement was recorded in powerful images.

This is a slender book. The photos and commentary are terrific but left me wanting more.

This book holds the key to our future. Because of the race to space we were able to shoot for the Moon. Now we are a part of history as we go back to the Moon with the same design as the Apollo missions. In order to understand the future you must understand the past. This book has the untold stories of our country's past as we made our mark on the Moon. Told through the eyes of those who stud on it.

This is a very authentic book on a great American achievement. The photos were all chosen by the astronauts for each of the missions, and the associated text was written by the astronauts, often providing unique comments about the photo. Having worked as an engineer on the Apollo program for eight years, I was very happy to add the book to my Apollo collection.

July 20, 2009 is the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11's landing on the moon. In celebration of that historic event that represented 'one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind', the NASA team of Robert Jacobs (Deputy Assistant Administrator for Public Affairs), Michael Cabbage (Director of the News Services Division), Constance Moore (Head Photo Researcher), and Bertram Ulrich (Curator and Multimedia Manager) have collaborated to produce "Apollo: Through The Eyes Of The Astronauts".
