The book is voiced by an artificial intelligence specially designed to read audiobooks. In August 1968, NASA made a bold decision: to launch the first manned spacecraft to the moon. Just a year earlier, three astronauts had died in a fire during testing, and since then the Apollo program has suffered one failure after another. Meanwhile, the Soviet Union was winning the space race, the Cold War was getting hotter by the month, and President Kennedy’s promise to send a man to the moon by the end of the decade seemed untenable. But when Frank Bormann was summoned to a secret meeting and offered his crew a dangerous mission, he agreed without hesitation. Before you is the first detailed history of Apollo 8. Jeffrey Kluger offers a riveting story of a mission that was so risky it was seen almost as a lottery, but, succeeding in it, marked the beginning of a new era in the exploration of space.
