A beautiful and insightful book commemorating the Apollo 11 mission, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of that momentous event. First to the Moon tells the incredible story of Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins with compelling first-hand accounts and a strong sense of narrative that wrings tension from history. Pyle has spent years combing NASA archives and private collections for documents and memorabilia from the mission, including previously unpublished materials. Using elements ranging from accessible explanations of technical problems to reproductions of the original 1969 documents, this gorgeously designed book will fully immerse the reader in the Space Age.
