"The People Who Made the Three Apollo Moon Landings a Reality" Yasunori Matogawa Price: ¥1980 Apollo was not created by astronauts alone. It was the "three Apollos" woven together by engineers, astronauts, and scientists. This book is a modest attempt to tell the story of "Apollo" in this way. The modern world, filled with a sense of stagnation, has much to learn from the greatest adventure of the 20th century. I hope that comrades who will continue to dig into the inexhaustible wellspring of history will emerge from the younger generation. -- (From the "Preface") This July marks exactly 50 years since the first human moon landing. The Apollo program is a story of many people in various positions, including astronauts, engineers, flight controllers, politicians, and scientists. From the eve of World War II to the end of the Apollo program, the passion, expertise, and intentions of these people, sometimes clashing, ultimately united to realize this unprecedented project, and this is vividly depicted. In the final chapter, the author also reflects on the Apollo program, incorporating his own experiences, and questions its significance for the present and the future. Written by an expert in space engineering and an excellent commentator, this book allows you to get a comprehensive understanding of the Apollo program and witness the stories of the people who participated in it. #YasunoriMatogawa #Yasunori_Matogawa #Books #Society/Management #Space #ApolloProgram #ToshiyukiNishida #Astronauts
