Recensione:

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR APOLLO

"In covering the entire span from the dawn of the Space Age through the Apollo missions, David West Reynolds has done an excellent job of bringing a remarkable period of human exploration to life. He has put the early dreams into context and provided a valuable sense of closure by reflecting upon Apollo's legacy. Altogether a wonderful account."--David M. Harland, author of Exploring the Moon: The Apollo Expeditions and Jupiter Odyssey
