Includes Authors' Dedication; Preliminary Page Quote; Acknowledgments; Introduction; and Acronyms and Jargon. Signed by both authors, Apollo 16 Astronaut Charlie Duke and Dotty Duke, both with thin blue ink on the half title page. "If anyone ever wonders what an astronaut is doing at lift-off, this astronaut was holding on! Moonwalker is the story of how a small town South Carolina boy set goals for himself and strived to succeed - first in prep school and at the Naval Academy, then as a fighter and test pilot, and finally as an astronaut and businessman. Moonwalker captures in print the thrill and excitement of flying to the moon, from the selection process to the training to the actual flight. In authentic dialog from NASA tapes and with his eyewitness account of how it all came about, Duke puts it together in this thoroughly fascinating story of his adventures in space. If you've ever wnodered how astronauts take care of their personal needs in zero gravity, you'll find some unexpected answers to such question as how do astrnuats in space eat? drink"? get dressed? brush their teeth? go to the bathroon? sleep? But there's more to the Duke story than space travel. The early excitement and glamour of Dotty's marriage to an astronaut too soon wore thin because of neglect and indifference - and her contemplation of suicide nearly ended their marriage. But working through her despair, Dotty found hope in Jesus Christ. She committed her life to Him and made a new commitment to her relationship with Charile. Charlie eventually heard the truth of the gospel and turned his life over to the Lord. Their personal discovery of Christ worked the needed miracle in their lives, and their incredible conversion opened the doors to adventures even more satisfying than walking on the moon." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Oktober 1935 in Charlotte, North Carolina) ist ein ehemaliger amerikanischer Astronaut. Er war der zehnte Mensch, der den Mond betrat. Charles Duke wuchs in South Carolina auf und studierte nach der High School zunächst Marinetechnik. Die US-Marineakademie verlieh ihm 1957 einen Bachelor. Anschließend diente er als Kampfpilot drei Jahre auf der Ramstein Air Base in Deutschland. 1964 schloss er ein Studium am Massachusetts Institute of Technology mit einem Master als Luft- und Raumfahrtingenieur ab. 1965 wurde er Ausbilder an der Testpilotenschule der US Air Force. 1966 wurde Duke in die Astronautengruppe der NASA aufgenommen. Er war Capcom bei der ersten Mondlandung (Apollo 11) und später Ersatzpilot der Landefähre von Apollo 13. Wegen Dukes Erkrankung an Röteln konnte der eigentliche Pilot der Kommandokapsel, Ken Mattingly, nicht an der Mission teilnehmen, da er keine Antikörper in seinem Blut hatte und ein Ausbruch der Krankheit als wahrscheinlich galt, was jedoch nicht passierte. Darauf war er Pilot der Landefähre von Apollo 16 unter dem Kommando von John Watts Young, Pilot der Kommandokapsel war Ken Mattingly. Zu dieser fünften bemannten Mondlandung hielt er sich im April 1972 während drei Exkursionen insgesamt rund 20 Stunden auf der freien Mondoberfläche auf. Mit 36 Jahren ist Duke der bisher jüngste Mensch, der auf dem Mond war. Young und Duke stellten einen Geschwindigkeitsrekord mit dem Mondrover auf. Sie fuhren mit 17 km/h den North Ray Krater herunter, obwohl der Rover offiziell nur für eine Geschwindigkeit von 8 km/h ausgelegt war. Der Rekord wurde von der Apollo 17 Crew gebrochen, die ihn bis heute hält. Bei ihren Fahrten haben Young und Duke insgesamt knapp 100 kg Mondgestein gesammelt.[1] Gegen Ende des Aufenthalts auf dem Mond versuchte Duke, in der verminderten Schwerkraft in die Höhe zu springen, so wie Young es zuvor mehrfach getan hatte. Duke verlor jedoch das Gleichgewicht und fiel nach hinten auf die Lebenserhaltungssysteme im Rucksack. Laut Duke war dies der einzige Moment des Fluges, in dem er Panik verspürte, denn ein Defekt an Lebenserhaltungssystemen oder Raumanzug hätte seinen sofortigen Tod bedeutet.[2] Duke war Ersatzpilot der Mondfähre für Apollo 17.[3] Duke, der verheiratet ist und zwei Söhne hat, schied im Dezember 1975 aus der NASA aus. Er ist Ehrenmitglied im Kuratorium des Arbeitskreises Christlicher Publizisten.[4] Am 18. Mai 2019 wurde ein Asteroid nach ihm benannt: (26382) Charlieduke /// Standort Wimregal HOM-31841 ISBN 0840791062 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 596.

He attended the U.S. Naval Academy in 1957 and earned a Master of Science degree in Aeronautics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1964.

With the completion of his first space flight, Duke logged 265 hours in space and over 21 hours of extra vehicular activity. His special honors include the NASA Distinguished Service Medical, and the Air Force Distinguished Service Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster.
