Beautiful words spoken by Alan Shepard of Appolo 14 in the latter part of the book touched my soul as he looked at Earth from space: "It all condensed into this one single; long look at fragile; beautiful earth; as though he were sent here; he and the others; so they might look back at that lovely; sensitive sphere and then carry home the message that everyone there must learn to live on this planet together.

I found myself trying to hurry the Americans along so they could beat the Russians to the moon.A favorite of the many "space" books I've read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. SpaceBy Kindle CustomerBeing a space enthusiast this book has special meaning to me. As a child;I used to get up to watch the launches and to this day I am engrossed in anything related to science and love science fiction. It is unfortunate that the space race had come to a crawling halt. I learned many things I never knew from this book and highly recommend it.
