What a fun book. Details about Apollo XI that was so fun to learn about. The author did a great job adding personality and emotion.

An incredibly brilliant look into what it took to become an astronaut, and the involved process of making it to the moon in back. The last chapter is quite reflective on both what was achieved and the hope for the future. It’s incredibly well written, making you feel like you’re there every step of the way. I highly recommend this to anyone with even a modicum of interest in space exploration and the space program!

Of all the astronaut's books I have read, this is the best. Michael Collins has a knack for writing, clearly.
