<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <p><b>Chronicling the visual history of the design, construction and launch of the lunar module - one of the most historic machines in human history.</b></p><br><p>In 1961, President John F. Kennedy announced his plans for landing a man on the moon by 1970 - despite the fact that the United States had a total of just 15 minutes of spaceflight experience up to that point. With that announcement, the space race had officially begun. In 1962, after a strenuous competition, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced that the Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation of Bethpage, Long Island, had won the contract to build the lunar module - the spacecraft that would take Americans to the moon. This was the first and only vehicle designed to take humans from one world to another.<p>Although much has been written about the first men to set foot on the moon, those first hesitant steps would not have been possible without the efforts of the designers and technicians assigned to Project Apollo. <i>Building Moonships: The Grumman Lunar Module</i> tells the story of the people who built and tested the lunar modules that were deployed on missions as well as the modules that never saw the light of day. </p>
