In Sacramento's|9781467133890|, "'That's one small step for man; one giant leap' supplied by Sacramento rockets! You may already know that Sacramento has long played a role in military history, what you may not know is that it also helped the U.S. win the space race. In Sacramento's Moon Rockets , Alan Lawrie uses vibrant images and lively commentary to help readers see through the eyes of the engineers and scientists who built the Saturn rockets. If you love the thought of visiting outer space, have an interest in the Cold War, or even have relatives who worked on these rockets like some of the staff here at the library, this book will launch your weekend into an excellent orbit." California State Library BOOK OF THE WEEK
SynopsisOn July 16, 1969, a Saturn V rocket launched the Apollo spacecraft carrying American astronauts to the surface of the moon, where Neil Armstrong would take his famous first steps and fulfill Pres. John F. Kennedy's goal of a successful lunar landing by the end of the decade. This event marks one of the greatest achievements in human history and is in large part due to the years of rocket testing that took place at the Douglas Aircraft Company's Sacramento testing facility (SACTO). The SACTO facility played one of the most important roles in the success of the Apollo 11 lunar mission and is where the Saturn rocket's S-IVB stage was developed and tested--making this historic accomplishment possible.
