In the most authoritative book ever written about Apollo, David Whitehouse reveals the true drama behind the mission, telling the story in the words of those who took part - based around exclusive interviews with the key players. This enthralling book takes us from the early rocket pioneers to the shock America received from the Soviets' launch of the first satellite, Sputnik; from the race to put the first person into space, through President Kennedy's enthusiasm and later doubts, to the astronauts' intense competition to leave the first footprint.

In this remarkable audiobook, Professor Richard Wiseman presents a pioneering study of the mind-set that took humanity to the moon and shows how you can harness and use it to achieve the extraordinary in your everyday life. Combining personal interviews, mission archives and cutting-edge psychology, Wiseman embarks on the ultimate voyage through inner space. Along the way he identifies eight key principles that make up the Apollo mind-set, including how pessimism is crucial to success and how fear and tragedy can be transformed into hope and optimism.

In 1957 the Soviet Union sent Sputnik, the first man-made satellite, into space. America took up the challenge to explore the next frontier. A dozen years, and 25 billion dollars later, the mission of Apollo 11 would yield man's finest hour. For that was the first time man's foot left prints on another heavenly body. And that was only the beginning. Apollo 11 is the incredible story of how a nation forged the technology during the turbulent 1960s to slip humanity from the bonds of its native planet. This inside look remembers those who made the great enterprise succeed.

Per millenni gli uomini sono stati stregati dal fascino della Luna e hanno immaginato un'infintà di modi per raggiungerla. Finchè uno scrittore, Jules Verne, ha descritto il viaggio di tre astronauti verso il nostro satellite, sulla base delle conoscenze dell'epoca, alimentando i sogni di quei ragazzi che sarebbero diventati gli artefici dei futuri viaggi spaziali. Questo audiolibro racconta la straordinaria storia della conquista della Luna, tra scienza e tecnica, fantasia e creatività, culminata nel "grande balzo" del 20 luglio 1969. Prefazione di Piero Angela.
