Synopsis:

CD-ROM and Book. Since the historic flight of Apollo 11, space historians and enthusiasts around the world have wondered what it was like to be aboard Eagle and Columbia. This volume features recently declassified reports which have finally been released to the public. After the initial flurry of press activity in 1969, the crew of Apollo 11 returned to their lives and interviews became less and less frequent. Journalists the world over followed Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins and tried to squeeze every last piece of information from them about their adventure but, as is often the case, some stories had to be withheld. This is the first ever publication which will take you inside Apollo 11 as it journeyed to the moon, as told by the men who made the trip. This is the real story, nothing held back, taken from transcripts on 31 July 1969. It is often technical, sometimes surprising and amusing -always educational and inspiring. This is the story of three men who travelled into the unknown, relying on each other and the hard work of the people back on earth. Three men who pushed space travel to a new limit. Taken from the crew's own words, Apollo 11, Volume 2 will be informing people for generations.
