Fallen Astronauts
Near the end of the Apollo 15 mission, David Scott and fellow moonwalker James Irwin conducted a secret ceremony unsanctioned by NASA: they placed on the lunar soil a small tin figurine called The Fallen Astronaut, along with a plaque bearing a list of names. By telling the stories of those sixteen astronauts and cosmonauts who died in the quest to reach the moon between 1962 and 1972, this book enriches the saga of humankind’s greatest scientific undertaking, Project Apollo, and conveys the human cost of the space race. Many people are aware of the first manned Apollo mission, in which Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee lost their lives in a fire during a ground test, but few know o...

Summary of Jim Lovell & Jeffrey Kluger's Apollo 13
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The stories about the poison pills at NASA were jokes. There were no situations in which you would ever consider making an early exit, and even if there were, you had lots of easier ways to do it than poison pills. #2 The people in Houston felt bad about all this, and came on the line to say so. Apollo 13, we’ve got lots and lots of people working on this. We’ll get you some dope as soon as we have it, and you’ll be the first one to know. #3 The atmosphere in the studio was electric from the moment Bergman arrived. He would be getting only a minute or so of live airtime, but he knew he would have to pack a lot of information into that short sweep of the clock. #4 The astronauts on board the Apollo 13 spacecraft suffered a major electrical failure, leaving them in no immediate danger, but ruling out any chance of a lunar landing. The astronauts would have to abandon ship and make their way into the lunar module.
