Synopsis

First published in July 2019 for the 50th anniversary of the first Moon landing, and now updated in this second "Artemis" edition for July 2024 "Where Once We Stood" captures the first-hand accounts of an extraordinary chapter in our history, when twelve human beings set foot upon the Moon. Combining a unique series of illustrations with the words spoken by the astronauts on the lunar surface, this book offers a rare insight into what it really felt like to live and work on another world; something that those who’d experienced it often found hard to convey. The author Christopher Riley has spent a lifetime studying the Apollo project and interviewing many of the astronauts, their friends, and families. In this special collaboration, he‘s joined forces with artist Martin Impey, whose paintings of the missions have been credited by the astronauts themselves, as capturing the essence of their lunar encounters. The resulting book brings a new dimension to the timeless story of Apollo’s extraordinary adventures on the Moon. From the first footprints left by Neil and Buzz during their pioneering walk on the Sea of Tranquility to the final ambitious expeditions - as astronauts drove an electric car deep into the mountains of the Moon, this is a revealing record of what it truly meant to explorer a place beyond Earth. In this second edition NASA's Artemis II astronauts add their own reflections on their chance to return to the Moon in the footsteps of the first human beings to live and work there on a world where once we stood.
