Synopsis
"...Harland shows he can meet the challenging task of using the transcripts in a well-written, descriptive way ... It does give you a good sense of being there." - Brian Harvey "... It could become a classic 'must have' for anyone who has a desire to know what is it all about. It is astonishing that it hasn't been done before." - David Woods, If you have ever asked yourself What did the astronauts do on the lunar surface? What did they say while they were there? What did they photograph? How did their discoveries alter our understanding of lunar geology? Will we ever go back to the moon? If so, Exploring the Moonis the book for you. This unique insight into the three Apollo missions (15, 16 and 17) answers all these questions and much more. Using the actual transcripts of what the astronauts said to each other whilst carrying out their duties, and numerous photographs taken at each step of the exploration, this book provides a graphic illustration of what can arguably be described as Mankinds greatest feat of exploration.
