PDF-(EBOOK)-The Apollo Chronicles: Engineering America\'s First Moon Missions

The moon landing of 1969 stands as an iconic moment for both the United States and humankind The familiar story focuses on the journey of the brave astronauts who brought home Moon rocks and startling photographs But Apollos full account includes the earthbound engineers mounds of their crumpled paper and smoldering metal shards of exploded engines How exactly did the nation step by difficult step take men to the Moon and backIn The Apollo Chronicles fifty years after the moon landing author Brandon R Brown himself the son of an Apollo engineer revisits the men and women who toiled behind the lights He relays the defining twentiethcentury project from its roots bringing the engineers work and personalities to bright life on the page Set against the backdrop of a turbulent American decade the narrative whisks audiences through tense deadlines and technical miracles from President John F Kennedys 1961 challenge to NASAs 1969 lunar triumph as engineers confronted wave after wave of previously unthinkable challengesBrown immerses readers in key physical hurdlesfrom building the worlds most powerful rockets to keeping humans alive in the hostile void of spaceusing language free of acronyms and technical jargon The book also pulls back from the detailed tasks and asks larger questions What did we learn about the Moon And what can this uniquely innovative project teach us today.

John Piper. “. Missions is not the ultimate goal of the Church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn’t. Worship is ultimate, not missions, because God is ultimate, not man. When this age is over, and the countless millions of the redeemed fall on their faces before the throne of God, missions will be no more. It is a temporary necessity. But worship abides forever… It’s the goal of missions because in missions we simply aim to bring the nations into the white hot enjoyment of God’s glory… .

The never-before-told story of the courage, dedication, and teamwork that made the journey to the moon possible--an intense human drama of the sacrifices and risks asked of a remarkable group of astronauts. Shepard and Slayton, part of the pioneering space program from the beginning, tell this fascinating inside story. 32 pages of photos. Published to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the first Moon landing by Apollo 11. The story of Apollo has been told many times, but most accounts stop at the first landing. This book picks up where others have left off, and describes the five post-Apollo 11 Moon landings, defined as technical developments built upon engineering excellence. It was only through the robust design adopted when aerospace contractors first designed and built the Apollo spacecraft and the Lunar Module that successive evolutions were possible, taking lunar-landing operations far beyond what had first been envisaged. This book is not intended to tell the full story of each mission, but rather to describe the technical development of spacecraft and equipment necessary to grow the capability from a single EVA (‘moonwalk’) of less than three hours, to advanced missions where astronauts spent three full working days exploring their landing sites. With the aid of a Lunar Roving Vehicle, they collected a wide variety of rocks and soil and left a range of instruments at the surface powered by a thermonuclear generator. As interest grows in humans returning to the Moon, 50 years on from those pioneering days of lunar exploration, we look again at what was accomplished at the dawn of the Space Age, spurred on by a political goal and developed as a tool for science.  The story of the Apollo Moon missions is an expression of those achievements.
