In 1961, President Kennedy announced the challenge: land a man on the moon and return him safely to Earth. By July 24, 1969, the Apollo 11 mission was complete. From the seamstress who sewed twenty-two layers of fabric for each space suit, to the creators of the lunar module whose motto was "there is no such thing as random failure," to the navigators, parachute designers, and telescope crew-here is the story of the people who made this extraordinary achievement possible. Photos. Source notes. Suggestions for further exploration. Glossary. Full-color photographs. Winner of the 2007 Robert F. Sibert Award. A 2007 NCTE Orbis Pictus Honor Book.
