OT: Lost Moon ( )

Lost Moon (1994) is a historically important work in the canon of Travel and Adventure literature. Like the journals of Lewis and Clark, the diary of Columbus, the journals of Scott to the Antarctic - Lost Moon is (co) written by a personal who actually experienced the event. Likewise, it is the first and only serious rescue mission in space. There are thousands of books about perilous explorations on the open seas, the poles and the jungles. There is only one about space, and this is it. ( )

Utterly brilliant, heart-wrenching, and thrilling book. ( )

this book is story about space.
i have watched this movie!
movei was very interesting.
but book wasnt really interesting because it was sortage of contents about space and passenger. ( )

This book was the basis for the movie Apollo 13. America had become complacent about our space shots by this time, which is something I still do not understand. But that may be because I worked so long at the Kennedy Space Center and always knew and still understand how dangerous each and every launch is. Apollo 13 was to have been the fifth mission to the moon. But two days into the trip, on April 13, 1970, the oxygen tank exploded in the command module, placing the three astronauts in grave danger. Lovell describes those terrifying days as astronauts, contractors, and Mission Controlled struggled to bring Apollo 13 safely back to earth. If you want to read what really happened by someone who was there...this is the book for you. ( )
