Plot summary
Seven of the twelve men who walked on the Moon give first-person accounts of their lives and their missions. They explain their backgrounds before they entered the space program, the training that prepared them for a lunar landing, and the flights they made. The astronauts also talk about one another, recalling the camaraderie of the crews who worked side by side and the tragedies the program lived through. Each man describes how his time in space affected his family and what the chance to set foot on another world meant to him. All of them were among the twelve who answered a challenge made in 1961 to land a man on the Moon and bring him home.
