Description

It picks up where The Right Stuff left off. [Stu Roosa, Apollo 14, back cover] *** In a 2007 afterword, Chaikin discusses how a lack of progress in human spaceflight has forced exploration-hungry observers to turn their interest to robotic probes. To be certain, the achievements of these remote-controlled explorers have been impressive and exciting to watch. As Chaikin wrote, two rovers were exploring Mars, Cassini had arrived at Saturn, and New Horizons was just beginning its journey to Pluto. But Chaikin is clear that only human spaceflight can inspire people and ignite their passions in the way Apollo did. [Apollo Review, http://www.apolloreview.com/a-man-on-the-moon/]
