Apollo 8 : the thrilling story of the first mission to the moon [sound recording] / by Kluger, Jeffrey,author.(CARDINAL)318697; Troxell, Brian,narrator.;

Read by Brian Troxell.The untold story of the historic voyage to the moon, this book takes us from Mission Control to the astronaut's homes, from the test labs to the launch pad. The race to prepare an untested rocket for an unprecedented journey paves the way for the hair-raising trip to the moon. Then, on Christmas Day, a nation that has suffered a horrendous year of assassinations and war is heartened by an inspiring message from the trio of astronauts in lunar orbit. And when the mission is over--after the first view of the far side of the moon, the first earth-rise, and the first re-entry through the earth's atmosphere following a flight to deep space--the impossible dream of walking on the moon suddenly seems within reach.
