From the Publisher:
Apollo is a photographic commemoration of the Apollo
lunar missions as seen through the eyes of the astronauts. Each
of the surviving 21 astronauts from the Apollo missions has chosen
a favorite photograph from his space flight especially for this
book. These selections are accompanied by other iconic photographs
from the Apollo missions. Bestselling astrophysicist Stephen Hawking
and his daughter Lucy Hawking contribute a foreword on the meaning
of the space exploration. July 20, 2009, marks the 40th anniversary
of the first manned landing on the Moon by Neil Armstrong and
Buzz Aldrin of Apollo 11. Apollo is the only photographic
book on the Apollo missions to be created by NASA, and is the
perfect commemorative volume about this epochal program, where
legendary achievement was recorded in powerful images.
