Giant Leaps
The Untold Story of Apollo, the Myths That Followed, and the Mission to Reach Mars
What if the Moon landing was only the beginning?
In the heat of the Cold War, the world watched as humans took their first steps on the Moon. But behind the iconic footage and giant leaps were stories of sacrifice, science, and secrets. Giant Leaps is a powerful narrative that takes you from the fiery start of the Space Race to the quiet dust of the lunar surface—and far beyond.
This compelling nonfiction journey explores how the Apollo missions changed not only space travel but the course of human history. It also unpacks the rise of conspiracy theories, NASA’s response, and how those same lessons now shape humanity’s bold return to the Moon and our ambitions for Mars through the Artemis program.
Perfect for readers who love true space history, political intrigue, technological breakthroughs, and forward-looking missions, this book brings together facts, emotion, and vision like never before.
