Exploring the Moon: The Apollo Expedition Book

Although very pleased to have read this book, I did not think it was that gripping. It was fascinating but in a muted way, like watching a big Hollywood blockbuster on an horrible aeroplane television screen. Perhaps the subject matter is just quite old now and there is so much more to impress is in the world of technology and knowledge of space these days.

I loved reading this book because it is exactly what it says, various accounts of events during the Apollo missions. My favourites​ chapters were done of the early ones that talked about everything as it was being set up. It reminded me how pioneering Apollo was. Could they even land on the Moon or would they sink in the dust? I also loved the chapters where the astronauts wrote about their experiences, such as the one about fated Apollo 13 and the one about final Apollo 17.
