T-Minus: The Race to the Moon by Jim Ottaviani
3.0
How do you cover several years of space race, successes, tragedies, and mishaps in one graphic novel? Very briefly. Kudos to the author for covering most of the important points (design, personalities, the worry when signal was lost) in so tight a format. Will this history be as interesting to a younger generation? I hope so.
I was irritated by the pseudo-Cyrillic used to indicate the Soviet side of the story - backwards Ns mostly. Found myself wondering if the Soviet dialog had been altered to make sure a word with an N showed up each time.
