Synopsis
Out of the technological battlefield of World War II came a team of gifted German engineers and designers who developed the vengeance weapon, the V-2, which evolved into the peaceful, powerful Saturn V rocket to take men to the Moon. David Woods tells the exciting story, starting from America?'s post war astronautical research facilities, that used the V-2 for the development of the robust, resilient and reliable Saturn V launcher. He describes the initial launches through manned orbital spaceflights, comprehensively detailing each step, including computer configuration, the role of ground control, trajectory planning, lunar orbiting, separation of the lander, walking and working on the Moon, retrieval of the lunar astronauts and returning to Earth in this massive technical accomplishment., Out of the technological battlefield of World War II came a team of gifted German engineers and designers who developed the vengeance weapon, the V-2, which evolved into the peaceful, powerful Saturn V rocket to take men to the Moon.

David Woods tells this exciting story, starting from America's postwar astronautical research facilities. The techniques and procedures developed for what was at first seen as a political decision by President John F Kennedy, were subsequently recognised as an example of human exploration at its greatest, demonstrating a peak of technological excellence. Between 1968 and 1972, twenty four daring men journeyed from Earth to the Moon. Woods traces this massive accomplishment from early launches through manned orbital spaceflights, detailing each step: computer configuration, the role of ground control, trajectory planning, lunar orbiting, separation of the lander, walking and working on the Moon, retrieval of the lunar astronauts and returning to Earth.
