A Man on the Moon: The Voyages of the Apollo Astronauts by Andrew Chaikin

adventurous emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective tense medium-paced

5.0

The ultimate telling of the voyages of the Apollo astronauts to the moon, and what it took to get them there. Arguably one of the greatest accomplishments humankind has achieved, the narrative is exceptionally well-written, telling the story with great pacing and excellent balance between the human emotion and impact against the data and scientific and technical information.
It's thrilling, impactful, inspiring, emotional, astounding, monumental and always engaging. I wish I could read it again for the first time!
