A must for UK Apollo space buffs . The 1st lunar LEM use ., 7 Nov 1999
Anyone in the UK who remembers the basics of their Apollo space history will have stood in much the same position as I have at the Science Museum and wondered at thoughts which must have gone through the minds of Stafford , Cernan and Young as they followed in th illustrious footsteps of Apollo 8 and became the first users of the LEM in the lunar environment .This book shows the contemporary detail of the grit + determination which hallmarked this historic precursor to the pinnacle to Apollo , the landing of Apollo 11. This book (+the others so far in this series) allow us a brief but illuminating backglance to the unfolding of real history . The CD attached to the book is an addded bonus + gives a real echo upon the spirit of the decade in which the fantastic became achievable . This book + the others released so far re-knidle the ethos of Apollo . Lets hope that the truely significant scientific achievements of Apollo 15 , 16 + 17 (as well as the consolidations of the interim missions )will be as well set out for us in next year`s release , which I for one thoroughly look forward to !
