Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "The Apollo Program was a worthy successor of the great exploring expeditions of mankind from the Phoenician voyagers to the Antarctic sledgers. And now we have an articulate tale of the moon venture from one of those whose footsteps have been left behind on our satellite. Reading this book is next best to having been there." - Isaac Asimov. "Buzz Aldrin tells it all in this look back at an adventure like none other in man's history. in gripping detail he takes us along, minute by minute, from blast-off to splashdown." - Walter Cronkite. "On July 20, 1969 Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong landed their lunar module on the unknown surface of the moon and took mankind's most historic first steps. Now, in Men From Earth, Buzz Aldrin tells the astonishing story of America's race with the Soviets to the moon - a story rich in adventure, insight, and human drama, told in firsthand detail by a man who was at the heart of the action. Buzz Aldrin played a major role in Project Apollo and knew the key players who shaped the American space program. In this book he reveals how thousands of scientists, engineers, politicians, and astronauts struggled to meet President John F. Kennedy's nearly impossible 1961 challenge to land Americans on the moon by the end of the decade. Aldrin takes us back to a heady, tumultuous time in America when it seemed we could accomplish anything. In 1961 Alan Shepard's fifteen-minute suborbital lob was like something out of Buck Rogers - fantastic and unbelievable - but less than ten years later Aldrin and Armstrong plnated the American flag on the moon and man became a space explorer. In between, there was tragedy and triumph, but as Aldrin reminds us, American was responding to a challenge - something we've always been good at. On the Gemini XII mission, Aldrin established a world record "space walk," and here he describes floating in space with Earth lurking ominously above him. It is a view of our planet that only an astronaut can give. It is this intimate perspective that sets Men from Earth apart from all other accounts of the space program: Aldrin actually lived the space adventures of Gemini and Apollo. Aldrin has also uncovered recently declassified documents that show that the U.S. Soviet moon race was much closer that we've ever before realized. He reveals the untold drama of missions such as Apollo 8, when the astronauts read from the Book of Genesis while circling the moon on Christmas Eve 1968. He takes us behind the headlines to meetings inside NASA, to the cabinet rooms of the Kennedy and Johnson White Houses, and to Alabama's Marshall Space Flight Center, where Wernher von Braun and his German rocket team designed the crucial Saturn boosters. And he looks ahead to America's next exciting century on the space frontier. Finally, Aldrin gives us the most vivid account yet of Apollo 11's dramatic descent to the Sea of Tranquility, where some scientists feared the lunar module would sink into primeval dust. He relives the overpowering emotion of being one of the first men from Earth to walk on the eerie lunar surface. Through his eyes, we see Earth from another planet, standing on a rocky terrain untouched for a billion years, swept by the awe and majesty of infinity. In Men from Earth, Buzz Aldrin vividly re-creates America's greatest adventure. It is a gripping journey through our most incredible achievement, told by one of the men who lived it." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
