Used paperback in Good condition. The blockbuster film Apollo 11 re-creates a fantastic space journey that nearly became a catastrophe, but was turned around through courage and ingenuity. In 1970, astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, and Jack Swigert were on their way to the moon when an explosion rocked their spacecraft. As the nation held its breath, they abandoned ship and hurtled back to earth in the tiny lunar module that could have given out at any moment. The Apollo Adventure is an inside account of the making of the movie based on that mission, as well as a dazzling tour of the entire Apollo space program, starting with Apollo 1 in 1967 and finishing with Apollo 17 in 1972.--Publisher description.
